Level Up Your Channel -- XOTV Newsletter
Updates
Hello, lovely creators! We’re in the slow weeks of late summer when everyone has taken Katie’s advice and headed on holiday to renew their invigoration for creative pursuits! But when it’s time to come back, why not level up your channel with some of XOTV’s extra features?
Most of our creators take advantage of our video offering, but did you know we also have a blog function, a forum, audio hosting, and more? This week’s featured vlog is about just that!
And finally, an industry update. In Europe, the Data Markets Act and Data Services Acts have been approved and will likely come into effect in January 2023. This means that big tech will be put under scrutiny for their data practices, and privacy-focused platforms like XOTV are in a great position!
