Snipflik is short-form video, rebuilt from scratch for the people who actually use it — the creators making the work and the viewers watching it. Not the advertisers, not the data brokers, and not the engagement algorithms that keep you scrolling past midnight.
What's different
🎬 Creators keep 85%. The big three take 30% off every tip and gift. Snipflik takes 15. That's not marketing copy — it's hard-coded into our backend and published live on our public Transparency dashboard, refreshed every 15 seconds.
🚫 Zero ads if you want it that way. $4.99/month and the feed goes silent — forever. No "watch this ad to skip ads." No upsell pop-ups. Free tier sees occasional ads to keep the lights on. That's the whole pricing model.
🌐 Your followers travel with you. Snipflik speaks ActivityPub, the same protocol Mastodon uses. Your handle is portable: @you@snipflik.com works across the entire Fediverse. We can't lock you in because we don't own you.
🛡️ No tracking pixels, no data brokers, no surprise sells. We collect what we need to deliver your feed, process payments, and moderate abuse. That's it. No third parties watching you inside our app.
