Break.com is one of the leading video sharing sites online. Mostly for amateur videographers, the site pays those who submit videos that make it to their homepage ($400 for an original video and $2,000 for a produced short film). A site makes it to the homepage by having 25,000 viewers the first week or meeting a set of algorithms set by the site. Somewhat heartbreaking for me is that they have "Girl of the Day" vidoes. They pay $50 if you are selected as Girl of the Day and the top rated Girl of the Day for each month wins $500! Take note: there was no such thing as "Boy of the Day." Plus, the most viewed weekly video was a woman in a bikini in a video titled, "What I learned from porn." Ah...how far we have (not) come.
Creates a growing community based on timely, visceral entertainment.
Enables users to upload and share their original content.
Remains a leading proponent of the democratization and monetization of content. Thanks to Break, you don't need to be famous to create entertaining videos and have them distributed to millions.
