You're pretty much building a digital platform for making cults
this. It might actually turn into something worse than facebook if left unchecked.
accurate
oh my gawwd
hmm is this a problem
Jealous of Ben's coding ability.
"Pretend you're not making 500k total compensation"
Me: *Cries in poor*
5 quid total compensation
@@froggo4363 When you convert Brazilian salaries to dollars that's pretty much what you get.
What do you think of 18k a year? good or bad?
@@CharafEddineCHERAA for what? Salary is a measure of value. If you create 50k a year value, sure its good. If you create 20k of value, you negotiated very well. If you want more salary -> find ways to create more value and manage the risk + learn how to negotiate
@Mateus Leao I think your problem is that you believe to know how they really work. Create your own company; come back and tell me from entrepreneur to entrepreneur how you do it than. Anything else is simply ignorance and trying to find flaws in anything and anyone but yourself.
I think we should already add another "A" to the FAANG acronym 😂😂😂

I love how he compaired pokimane's server to a McDonalds
Well she got them buns
@@stealthoverflow lmao
Yeah, it's filled with kids and middle-aged people with little life.
Same physique
“You’ll have to hear about the astral fans group your mom joined” ok that was good
I've loved how these logs have evolved over time. In the past I've felt that your "sales pitch" side kind of overshadowed your sense of humor. That was not the case in this video at all though. You seem very charged, but also really made me laugh a couple times too. Excited to continue following the progress.
Ben: log index n
tie: ah yes here we go again
This is actually a really good idea, hopefully it lasts longer the dogehouse
anyone wanna tell them?
$500M Executive at Onlyfans: "Write that down! Write that down!"
lol
"pretend you're not making 500k in compensation"
no need to pretend ben, who do you think i am
A dirty 499K peasant I see
@@willinton06 lol
i still can't say when do you switch from sarcasm to seriousness and vice versa 😂
I think this whole project is a joke. I hope so.
You're quite a ballsy mate. Posting all your good ideas on here, like, just askin for competition. If only I was good at UI and had no morals, I would just try and make cheap bucks off your ideas.
Waiting for an Algoexpert version of this to prepare for quizes.
Ben: My next company is called Astralfans
Everyone: We hate that name
Ben: Cool, I'll keep it then 😏
And someday when it fails, he'll never acknowledge that part. Likely blame some other factors.
Every part of this is just a bad idea and I think he knows that, but is choosing to hide behind smugness and "humor".
'fan' and 'superfan' sounds like side character energy
Some thoughts:
It feels like fan selection is focusing too much on dedication, rather than whether that person is a healthy part of the community. I'm sure most influencers would prefer a quiet helpful fan than a toxic one.
Additionally I could see how some of the selection processes described could be abused if opened to a wider market. How many examples over the last few years have we heard of influencers sexually harassing fans in their community? And making a direct line of communication that can only be accessed by sending in photos of yourself seems like it could very easily lead to that scenario.
Would there be rules to stop creators asking location, age, race, gender questions? and would there be something to enforce this?
This is the comment I was looking for. Totally agree.
I find it fascinating that this project is the one he's receiving the most constructive criticism for.
instagram allows fans to send messages to influencers.. so i dont see the issue, but gud point tho
Also as a person who hosts a smaller community on discord, who would be looking to move away from the app because of its complexity, it feels like discoverability on astralfans is difficult. Say I’m just starting my community and don’t have a huge pool of fans to pull from, maybe I want this to be more open and easier to get into, atleast while starting out, and then start creating gates to entry once a community is actually formed
@@sixty502 You would have control over the quiz so you could just ask something easy
I keep thinking he’s saying “AshevilleFans” for the yoo supporters of Asheville, North Carolina
Im almost hearing ActualFans.
@@kattihatt I like that better than astralfans
it's ash troll
This cleared some stuff up and I think you are right there is money to the idea. I'm looking forward to seeing more
my proposal for help still stands, but i can now make char in C++ as well.let me know tank you
you're hired
Love how he drops the tie when he says "on the dev side of things"
ngl, I wasn't too excited on your first video about this but I'm liking it more and more as I hear more about it
I love the idea Ben, can’t wait to download!
All the best bro, setting everything up feels nice, having all the processes, automated workflows, etc. Actually coding it is the bottleneck everytime. Hope you don’t hit issues which are related to capabilities of react native.
He probably has enough experience with react native to know it’s weaknesses. Besides, if this actually gets funding then he could hire dedicated android and iOS devs.
I can feel Discord is gonna have a new fresh update in a few days
It actually is
I like this, hope it goes all the way.
This is an awesome idea
You will have an amazing level of success. I am looking forward to joining your platform......and then you made it really really hard...about as hard as getting a post malone tattoo because "im a fan".
"I'm hoping in like the next two weeks that we're gonna have a good chunk of everything done"
Good luck with that :D
I dread the day when my mom talks to me about the club she joined in AstralFans
Im in! waiting for this to happen
Thanks for the vid
very excited to see how this turns out!
2 concerns:
1) will alternate logins be available for content creators? Sim swapping attack is most effective against celebs and the like so they'd be the biggest target.
2) I know the point is to create a bigger barrier to entry but by doing so your creating more complexity - which is something you're trying to avoid from Discord.
To the stars🚀🚀🚀
For real though. This is actually a great idea. The fact that to get in the super fans group can be styled off the creator adds another level of fun for that community. Like a Mr. beast style way to get in. Keep up the good work Mr. Awad!
very much living for the kinky astrology only fans situation
To the stars ✨
Love that
good luck, Ben!
This is great
Very cool, I’m a mobile software engineer too and excited to see where you take this!
Ok Ben, I'll be there when you ring the IPO bell at NYSE, still cringing at the mention of the name.
loving the project so far! only critique / thought im having is that capping the max amount of members able to join these communities also puts a cap on how much money could come in via those monetization methods..
I always look forward to this videos ,
I'm actually quite excited about Astralfans :P
Neat, can't wait for more
Ta legal.
Vejo a ideia existindo e evoluindo.
Sparkle
Love it!
Great idea. I post on your channel frequently but I never get a pat on the back. I'll join your astral community
I love your Videos ;D
My man always has boxes in the background because he's making moves all the time to a bigger place 💪 AF already paying off
Tighten the seat belts fellas.
We're on a hell of ride!!
Ok I’m a bit more convinced now. Well done, Ben.
This idea is flawed because most SUPERfans are super weird and make big creators uncomfortable.
You can have some sort of moderation to keep the creeps at bay anyway
@@nezia5651 Yes, but people who are superfans (aka obsessed with a creator) are much more likely to be weird and creepy than normal fans.
I think you are talking about stans but i don't think he is refering to stans as Super fans. (also go Hungary)
@@illesfleischman2814 I think there's a huge intersection between them. (bojler eladó)
@@mogeryy maybe you're right. Idk. (megveszem az összeset XD)
To the stars, because doge house reached the moon already 😂
Really digging the professional attire
I really wonder wha are those boxes behind Ben and all of these kids chairs over there in the background.. I mean, yeah, it fits the weird character with a random tie. but- if you think about it, it only gets weirder...
We believe in you
Half a stack of days in!
I understand that keeping the "fans" might give some PR and also if it creates a reaction (positive or negative), maybe it's more memorable. BUT I get this Déjà vu with ""THE" Facebook.
My vote is still on Astral, but I'll bite my tongue of when AstralFans is the unicorn it is meant to be! To the mooooon
I'll be using it
The pitch was 🔥🔥🔥😂
"68-inch pole" lmao. good one
I loved how Ben said "to the stars"🚀
"Hey I've seen this one"
"What do you mean you've seen it, its brand new"
2:40
"you naughty naughty.... you're teasing me"
I'm just here looking for that Jack Conte checkmarked comment, shit looking good so far Ben
I am cautiously optimistic about this
Ok Ben I finally learned how to invert a binary tree I'm ready to join the team
Hey Ben! Still watching but thought I'd start a comment thread with my feedback. Strong start so far! Great micsmenship 👌
2:30-3:10 I would cut, slows your already good pace. I know what OnlyFans is. Save it for later. Focus on the BIG THING MISSING from the competitors I'm familiar with but don't understand.
3:28 Use that time to expand on Super Fans and this big demo everyone is missing
3:41 - Can I only be a Creator to have my community on AstralFans?
4:13 - This section had me my thoughts drifting into other use cases for AF. How would you see a "IRL/Traditional" community interact on the platform? Maybe they aren't technically "Content Creators" but they have social media groups, regular meetups, a physical location. Like a Alumni group, or a Pub/Brewery.
4:41 - Do you see NFT's or Crypto to be ways fans/users can gain access to these communities?
Dogehouse was a fantastic idea. This one is not a unicorn, it's a poop sandwich and I shan't be biting.
If anyone ever does take part in these communities, they will be even worse than the most supersimps of patreon or only fans. Without the barrier of money, you're opening the door to broke ultrasimps.
Ben Awad show season 2 begins 😂
I like this idea
One Question: If only long-time existing fans get the benefits, doesn't that discourage other new fans from coming in?
Maybe it’s more of a ranking system and they get in if they show it but ask Ben idk.
the fanciest hotel in the city also doesn't encourage newcomers to come in, while mcdonalds does.
your average joe shmoe is not the target audience here.
@@dom8429 You're missing the entire value proposition. The point is for people to engage more and promote the content creator more in an effort to get in.
You have to make the quiz section show different questions for each user, because when I used to play HQ trivia there would be discord servers dedicated to telling everyone the answer.
I like that tie a lot
i feel like this is gonna be another rage quit project
Bro, so do I, but he'll get better ideas as the project goes on. by now, it seems like not even the name is likable 🤣
Glad to see the tie again.
If loogan paul had a nightmare and in that nightmare he created his favourite app
Too the stars now.. not to the moon anymore.. this must be huge
here we fucking go again
Finally a discord that I can connect inside emacs
"68 inch pole" LOL
I love this idea. I still think it should be called 'Acolyte' thought.
I love the commitment to the troll
I have another alternative to the quiz. The content creator could send an invite to someone, and that someone could send a link to someone else, and so on. This would be kinda like Clubhouse, in the sense that invites are sent by people who are already in, and the invites are limited.
Pretty good idea. I would actually fund it if you were living in my area.
2:29 true i hope i wont have to do this for the one your creating lol
Ben: Pretend you're not making 500k total compensation
*Oh that's easy*
Your second statement around security is where you are finally getting it… it’s not what walls you build to protect yourself that matters, it’s understanding what secret stuff is being protected and quantifying your security model to suite, my advice is you are collecting a users phone number already, so this dictates that for 2-factor you can only use an “app experience” (or email which is always an option I suppose), but my advice is launch with 2FA and rather generate short lived access tokens and long term refresh tokens, a standard OAuth PKCE flow as an example.
However if I was in your shoes I would target a sector first, say RUclips. And then build on top of RUclips’s existing authentication by federation to them, I know you a JS fan and something like hello.js will get you going on this track quickest. You additional advantage then is you don’t have to build any of this auth, you “leverage” social auth to source the least amount you need for a user to login (likely a user identifier so he can exist on your system) and then using injected “personalisation” aspects that you just never store cause you done need them - like a persons name, only matters really on display to that individual, rather share out a pseudonym to everyone else that is not really personally identifiable, but sustains value to your consumer base as even those “hold value” in that you literally could sell (as your platform grows) the names on your platform that an existing influencer already has on another).
Good luck as always, your tenacity is impressive to see as always (and funny to watch)
That's crazy I'm writing one of these too!
I was here!
Bro, I am around your age and working on the same aspects. I am very excited on where we will meet In the future. Keep it up :)
A very interesting video indeed. Take a look behind Ben. Empty boxes strewn about, kiddie chairs in the right corner. And nothing else. Did each box simply contain a kiddie chair? We may never know.
He left the moon. He's going to the stars...but stop project and then go out of the universe
TO THE MOON! oh, wait, no, STARS!
Ben's next startup is algoexpert
previously moon, now star...😂
Pitch is 100x better than the first time
yes!
I need fan, it's a fucking desert 💀
Reminds me how Richard Hendricks in Silicon Valley show stuck to the name Pied Piper
Ah, the stanning platform
