Why I prefer YouTube to other streaming platforms – Juliet Ibrahim
Popular actress, Juliet Ibrahim has disclosed that she prefers to upload her movies to YouTube compared to other platforms.
Giving the reason for her choice, the film producer and brand influencer revealed she preferred YouTube because its less stringent requirements make it an attractive option.
In a recent interview in Lagos, Ibrahim said, “Unlike Netflix or Prime, YouTube doesn’t demand specific criteria for equipment, editing, lighting, or crew members.”
While stressing YouTube’s benefits, the 38-year-old actress who is famous in Nollywood also acknowledged the risk of piracy.
“You see, there is something about being a filmmaker, you make your movie and you want to own your rights. There is also piracy, so even YouTube is not 100% safe because people still pirate, they would steal your content,” she said.
“However, there is a whole market on YouTube where people make quick and easy money with less stress. Without having to go buy the cinema criteria or streaming platform criteria. Before you submit to a streaming platform either Netflix or Prime, you have a list of equipment you must use.
“There is a criteria for editing, lighting, your crew members, a whole lot of things and that includes a lot of money. That is where I said the funding would now become a problem.”
