In time we plan to have a funding page on the website, this will show the current monthly funding altstream receives along with milestones that will show exactly what we are building towards and how much the platform needs to make it happen.

We will expand our hardware fleet only after we have the funding to do so, we are funded at our current scale until January. We're taking this slow and believing that there is a community who are willing to fund a no AI no ads alternative to the current streaming platforms.

To make the community funding option work we are focusing on core functionality (streams) over more cost prohibitive things like VOD storage. We are also using a server host that allows us to pay a flat fee for unlimited bandwidth. Meaning we do not have rising costs as more users join.

How are you affording your hardware? We are currently building this service as a community funded endeavour. Viewers and streamers can support the site via a subscription on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/altstream and in doing so they can get a badge for their account and more bonuses that we are working on.
