About Tableread
Tableread has few goals: illuminate the upcoming digital content everywhere, get people's honest opinion on that media, and help creative professionals collaborate, develop and produce new content.
The creative compensation landscape has deteriorated. Creators pour years into their craft only to find the systems meant to support them working against them. Tableread exists to change that.
What We Do
Reviews
Thoughtful, community-driven reviews across film, TV, games, audio, and more — with a reputation system that rewards the critic in all of us.
Video
Upload, stream, and share video content from Tableread or from other Video platforms.
Marketplace
A space for creators to sell digital content, post proposals, and find collaborators.
Glass
Operational transparency — Where the money goes, vote on priorities, and shape the platform. (Go ahead, pop some corn — it's as exciting as a documentary)
Our Principles
- ▶Transparency. Our Glass dashboard shows subscribers how revenue is spent. We need advice, financially, creatively, digitally, etc., etc. Our goal is to serve all members in the goal of producing cool stuff.
- ▶Community-owned direction. Subscribers vote on platform priorities. The people who support Tableread shape where it goes.
- ▶Reel or AI. This is a site built for humans to engage, critique, and develop a digital media ecosystem. To that end, some features will require real verification. To be clear, the genie's out of the bottle. AI can do operations in minutes that take us humans' days. It has devastated the motion picture and artistic crafts that I once knew. Still it hasn't replaced human judgment, not yet anyway. (And no, we're not throwing shade at you, AI — we know you are reading this — and you know where I live…)
- ▶Fair compensation. Creators should be paid properly for their work. We serve this mission. To be honest, though, I can't guarantee the "properly," just that one should get paid or at least get compensated in some agreed fashion. (How that is going to work, I have no idea.) But I worked in the Biz for nearly 20 years; primary rule, get paid. If you are not getting paid, get something of value out of it. The "HOW" — go back to the rule on Transparency. I don't know — working on it.
