Brighteon Update for all users: Today we have rolled out over nine months' worth of back-end updates, enhancements and code improvements for Brighteon.com. There is some temporary glitching taking place due to CDN caching of video files and thumbnails, but this glitching should self-resolve in about 24 hours. We have been working extremely hard to solidify our back-end code for an upcoming major migration to an entirely new, large-scale data center that will make Brighteon.com even more censorship-resistant and scalable for the future. Thank you for your patience as we make these significant improvements. There are still many fixes and improvements under development that will be rolled out this year. For example, our view counts are currently not working in some cases when videos are embedded in websites using iframe code. This means actual video views may be much higher than what you are seeing in your dashboard. In addition, we are working toward a universal crypto-based tipping system that will allow content creators to receive crypto-denominated tips from viewers. We had originally planned this system to be rolled out in USD, but the fiat currency collapse is very near, and thanks to the weaponization of the central banks against all citizens of the world, we have abandoned any plans to use fiat currencies of any kind. Also, for the record, due to the extreme censorship and propaganda being pushed by Big Tech, Big Media and Big Government -- especially when it comes to the situation in Ukraine, or immunizations, etc. -- we are reiterating our stance on free speech and tripling down on our commitment to allowing people to express dissenting / unpopular views that question official narratives. More than ever, Brighteon is needed for humanity to connect with intelligent, informed analysis and opinions which diverge from official (government) lies. Brighteon.com is being engineered to resist aggressive government censorship efforts and to remain a pillar of free speech even in a world that is rapidly becoming tyrannical and authoritarian. You can help support Brighteon by visiting BrighteonStore.com which features hundreds of products that we manufacture and fulfill out of our large warehouse / manufacturing / fulfillment center in Texas. Every single dollar of those purchases goes right back into funding Brighteon.com development, which also covers Brighteon.TV, BrighteonRadio.com and helps cover the extreme bandwidth costs we are shouldering as traffic continues to rapidly grow. Please share the word about Brighteon and encourage others to use the platform. We can handle the bandwidth and the viewer load due to our investments in large blocks of bandwidth (petabytes per month) that we have acquired for this purpose. Thank you for your ongoing support, and know that we are working very hard to enable your voice, to protect your freedom to speak and to help share critical knowledge with humanity in this desperate time when all humanity stands at risk of global nuclear war due to the insane criminal lunatics who are in charge of all our nations. Be safe, post videos and share widely. Thank you, - Mike Adams, Founder, Brighteon.com P.S. If you would like to donate to Brighteon.com and help keep us running, we have a donation page posted at: https://donation.brighteon.com We receive many donations each month and I with to personally thank those who are donating to help keep this platform alive and growing.
