General
Because your video deserves more attention!
Most of the times your videos drown within the millions of other videos on Youtube and other video portals.
YOUNIVERSUS enables you to increase the number of views as well as fan loyality for your video.
CHALLENGING other videos means PROMOTION for your video; it is a new way to connect to your special interest group and community.
You will soon find out that the people watching your competition on YOUNIVERSUS have a much deeper interest in
your video, they are much more likely to get involved by voting, commenting and sharing your competition to a larger interest group.
We know you have put alot of time and effort into the creation of your video and we want to help you to reach a larger
community. YOUNIVERSUS is the tool, now it is up to you to go and
CHALLENGE THE COMMUNITY!
Because you will get more interesting contents at a glance.
Instead of seeing only one video, you will see a second one which might be even better.
The chance that if you like one of the competing videos you will like the other one as well is extremely high, this way you will
get twice the entertainment.
Its very easy math. Instead of one cool or crazy video you will get two. And you can become a fan or supporter of
a challenger or an opponent. Sometimes challengers are crazy, they are competing out of their league, but that can be funny too.
And sometimes its the underdog who will surprise by activating a large community to bring him to the top of rankings.
Anything can happen if you
