We Built Vox9 Because YouTube Keeps Demonetizing Us | Come and take a look
Hello Patreon supporters,
I know this short video isn't about The Black Ship, but you may have seen me mention vox9 in the past.
This video explains what it is, why I created it, and how we help to get authors paid for their work, and provide an alternative to YouTube for this kind of story telling.
If you happen to know an author or creator who may benefit from being on Vox9, please send them a link to this video. Or if you'd like to checkout the other authors and their stories on vox9, please head over and join us. Just visit https://vox9.io
And...If you'd like to keep up to date with updates, here is out updates page where new features and updates get added and explained: https://vox9.io/updates
Thanks for your time everyone!

Fantastic. Keep me informed
it took a bit to find it but once I found it easy down load and at least on the Android platform I have had absolutely no problems with the app whatsoever
A question just came to mind regarding vox9, but will there be patreon integration in the future? IE patrons link their accounts and get no ads on TBS stories or the same access as if they were paying on Vox9. Not sure the complications of such but thought it was worth the ask scifistories1977.
no way to link one story to another in a row
I'm sorry, but VOX9 is overlooking a very crucial detail. That detail has caused the YT channel to be demonetized, and causes no end of strife for the YT channel since and going forward. Copyright. From the, admittedly very very basic, description. VOX9 has no protection for the original author. Something I know that scifistories1977 is very passionate about. Before I can support an independent platform. I need to know, how are you protecting the original authors. What are you doing to stop me from posting, as an example, Hambone's The Deathworlder's as my own?
Oh and your ad is very misleading in claiming growth. Most of the growth seen to date is in direct correlation with posting ongoing serial stories on VOX9 during periods those stories were not posted to YT because the channel had been demonetized.
Ive allready payed for a years worth of the parteon for my wife and I. Cant I just keep using that?
you will keep updatin the black ship on this wont you? I do like the other stories and perhaps I will try the vox. but I dislike monthly things and I pay yearly for everything and only buy in at things on special months to keep my bookkeeper happy. by special , consider it like on the adams family where certin months I dont spend money.
what's sad is the Starbound channel on YT got lumped into demontised category by the A.i.'s all their stuff is by voice actors and real authors. I commented and posted a link to vox9 and YT nuked my post that fast.😞
maybe send the channel owners a message outside of youtube? I think Vox9 is set up to do real voices as well
when i use vox9, its just static images, not the video that changes whats on the screen during the video, like patreon or YT, is this normal?
I'm participating here through Patreon, but I want to watch on vox9 I will have to pay there as well. I think my Patreon is good through July or so. I will wait until then to decide where I will watch. This isn't to make a really bad stab at the authors(s) but I'm getting up there in years and I'm becoming less and less capable with digital media. At some point one of changes and I'll just throw in the towel. I love the stories but it scrambles what is left of my brain. When you are young this stuff is easy. I was on the bleeding edge from the 70's until 2000 when job changes pulled me away from computers, Now I'm ready to go back to paper and pencil, and a phone on the wall.
Sorry but horrible platform, keeps losing where I was when I go back in and takes forever to reload
I think describing vox9 as 'horrible' is probably a little strong. The platform is used by thousands of people a day so i think this might be a more individual user issue. I get thats its new and some people find it a little difficult to navigate having years of using YT under their belt. But... If you go into continue listening on your dashboard, you'll find everything you haven't finished listed in there.
How is this different / better than Patreon? What’s the WIIFM?
Patreon only shows The Black Ship stories. Vox9 is a platform for all authors. Where they can get support from fans and access to people who enjoy listening to scifi, fantasy, HFY, etc. You can listened to so many more stories on vox9 like creature 88, Billy bob space trucker, we thought wrong, the human from a Dungeon, the new species, and loads more (including TBS). Vox9 is a platform for everyone. Pateon is dedicated to TBS.
I'm a beta tester of this platform and it works great
Ah, I see that my comment is removed.
I feel your attack on vox9 was a personal issue you have. Literally thousands of people are using it everyday with no issues. I don't mind feedback, but attacks are downright not going to remain as comments.
I've been on Vox9 for a while now for TBS series, I highly recommend it, I have the app on my phone and tablet. I also listen through browser on my Linux desktop.
Will this be available as an app or a website?
Its currently a website. There is a PWA app that you can install on your mobile (its loke a Web version of vox9 that runs locally). A proper androloid and apple app will be coming once I can finish jumping through the hoops!
I wish they allowed fan fiction on Vox. Maybe a separate catigory.
