The future of media
A creator-first platform where subscriptions are split by real listening time, not ads or algorithms.
A single monthly subscription grants access to all creators. Creators are then paid a portion of each their viewers subscription fees based on the amount of time their content is watched for, not how advertiser friendly it is.

Media, with the Right Incentives
Most platforms are built to maximise engagement. AVA is built to reward intention.
Instead of optimising for ads, algorithms, or virality, AVA rewards creators based on real attention from real people. No clickbait. No chasing trends. Just work that earns time.
When incentives change, outcomes change.
Better stories. More independence. Media that can afford to think long-term.
Ava aligns creators and listeners around one simple idea: time has value. The more people listen, the more creators earn – no ads or algorithms deciding what matters.
A fair future for media.
The Attention Subscription Model
Each AVA subscription is treated individually – it isn’t pooled across the entire platform.
If a listener spends:
70% of their time with Creator A
30% with Creator B
Then 70% of that listener’s subscription fund goes to Creator A, and 30% goes to Creator B.
This happens for every subscriber, based solely on their own listening or viewing time.
For Creators
Create freely. Get paid fairly.
For Listeners
Content made for you, not advertisers.
Our Philosophy
Great media is built on trust, time, and honest work.
When creators are rewarded for real attention, better stories, deeper ideas, and more thoughtful content naturally follow.
AVA is designed around a simple belief: people should be paid fairly for the time they earn, and audiences should know their support actually matters. By prioritising attention over advertising, AVA creates space for independence, truth, and long-term thinking in media.
This isn’t about changing how people watch or listen – it’s about building a system that finally respects it.

Frequently asked questions
AVA (Audio Visual Application) is a subscription-based platform for podcasts and long-form audio/video where creators are paid based on how much time people actually spend with their content.
Instead of ads, algorithms, or fixed pledges, AVA splits subscription revenue based on watch and listen time – so creators are rewarded for attention, not clicks.
Yes. At launch, AVA expects to take a 15% platform fee.
This covers payment processing, infrastructure, moderation, and the ongoing development of the platform. The remaining 85% of each subscription goes directly to creators, split based on each individual listener’s actual listening or viewing time – not pooled across the platform.
As AVA scales, our aim is to reduce the platform fee to around 10%, passing efficiencies back to creators rather than increasing margins.
No advertising. No hidden cuts. Just a transparent system built to reward attention fairly.
Each subscription is split across creators based on the percentage of total time a listener spends with their content. If someone spends 30% of their time with one creator, that creator receives 30% of that listeners subscription fund.
Creators are free to include ads or sponsors if they choose, but AVA does not require advertiser-friendly content and does not insert platform ads.
Creators retain full ownership of their content. AVA is a distribution and monetisation platform – not a rights holder.
The Founders Club is a group of early creators, selected across different genres, who will receive equity in AVA for helping shape the platform from launch.
No. Creators can continue publishing elsewhere and use AVA alongside existing platforms.
AVA launches with podcasts and creator-led audio, with plans to expand into music and broader entertainment over time.
