Caption notes

Folding Ideas uses VidMe to discuss how the interests of video platforms and creators can change as a platform grows. In the narrator’s account, both have reasons to attract viewers early on, but the needs of advertisers and the service as a whole can gain weight while individual creators lose bargaining power. He looks at what a platform launches with to assess its priorities.
