Problem Statement
I am a creator and understand the challenges of creating audio content on regional language. In countries like India with multiple regional languages with large population, the top straming dapps only feature one chosen language in the country's top 10 playlists, due to political and economic influcene, even if an artist bypasses the bar for top streams.This was highlighted by a regional artist naming one of the top web2 streaming platforms. Ironically, that video was also removed due to censorship.Sounds Good is an onchain podcast streaming platform that refuses to get censored. :)Sounds Good for Creators:Register podcast on the streaming platform for free and mint their episode as an NFT that can be resold.Publish premium episodes with token-gated access for listeners.Receive Tips from listeners.Sounds Good for Listeners:Listen-to-EarnEarn tokens for every podcast episode streamed.Unlock premium episodes with these tokens.Tip your favourite creators.User Flow:Sounds good onboards both the users of web2 and web3 with an estimated average usage time of 3 hours per day.
