Abstract

A video distribution technique permits individual subscribers to pay a nominal fee to follow celebrities and receive videos directly therefrom. An individual may qualify as a broadcaster by having a sufficient fan base as measured by the number of followers in existing social media services. The broadcaster uploads video to a central processing service where it may be transcoded to a convenient communication protocol for distribution. In addition, a warning message is sent to all subscribers of a particular broadcaster to indicate the impending arrival of an incoming video from the broadcaster. In one embodiment, the user will not receive any video unless they transmit an acknowledgement to the push text notification. In an alternative embodiment, the subscriber will receive all videos automatically unless they respond to the push text notification to opt out of receiving the video.
