@alphasteem I love the hand gestures, very well spoken, you have tells like me while you speak... you constantly agree with yourself! you believe what your saying!
so when doing edits, a simple blur transition(with imovie) would ease the transition between clips anything to fancy breaks things up. I only use fancy transitions beginning and end clips intro/outro. I used intromaker on ipad to create my intro outros for free... it has a watermark but $5 paid for app its gone... super simple just like imovie
I have been forced to use paid upvotes, I have some legit votes but only after I push my content past the $0 so you are right they will have to pay for votes, pay for votes could soon become a flagged user situation if it becomes the only support for click bait. Or paid services will have higher curation requirements and need to vet each post manually.
