Beta Videos
Hi Yogy,
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the latest updates! At Vertical-Life, our primary goal is to create the best possible climbing assistant to help you make every day a perfect climbing day. Weโre committed to keeping the platform as user-friendly and accessible as possible.
We currently generate revenue through partnerships with sponsors and by offering Vertical-Life Premium, which provides access to topos, as well as software solutions for climbing gyms and competitions. When it comes to beta videos, we plan to collaborate with brands or tourism boards for sponsored events, and in the future, we may consider adding the offline beta video feature to our Premium package within the app.
That said, we have no intention of putting user-generated content behind a paywall. Weโve seen this happen with other platforms after they were sold, but we want to assure you that we have no plans to sell Vertical-Life, nor do we have investors influencing our decisions. As long as weโre climbing, weโll continue to work on improving Vertical-Life for everyone.
Thanks for your support!
Best regards,
Matthias
Vertical-Life Team
Hallo Matthias, thanks for the answer! At least it's a really good-sounding statement, though momentary, but what is not :). Will try an upload soon.
I love how 8a evolves and constantly adds features. It really becomes a"one-stop-for-everything". Anyway, I fear a bit that in the future it may get a "paywall" or may be overloaded with advertisement. Therfore, I am a bit hesรญtant to upload pics, video etc.
Could the management please share some thoghts about your strategy there?
