Frequently asked questions
What is Watch Ice Cream?
Watch Ice Cream is a music-centric video streaming app that reimagines early MTV, and mixes in a bit of Netflix, Bandcamp, and the fun aspects of early social media.
The app is full of official music videos, interviews, and more from independent and underground artists.
In addition to a single-serve library of videos, THE BROADCAST is our 24/7 feed, curated and hosted by real people.
Is Watch Ice Cream free to join as an artist or label?
Yes, Watch Ice Cream is absolutely free to artists and labels. All approved contributors also receive a free subscription to the app.
Do artists get paid?
Yes. Every approved artist/contributor is immediately qualified to receive a revenue share payout each month.
Additionally, you have the option to sell your merch and accept tips from your artist page. We will even store your merch for free, and fulfill your orders for you!
Is Watch Ice Cream another tech platform owned by billionaire corpo overlords?
Absolutely not. Watch Ice Cream is owned and operated by working class artists and fans. DIY forever!
why does watch ice cream sound too good to be true?
That's literally our goal. We want Watch Ice Cream to be an invaluable service for artists, while connecting in a real, human, meaningful way with fans.
There are too many 'catches' in the world. Too many streaming services prey on artists, while lining the pockets of their tech-bro billionaire shareholders. It's a system we have no desire to be a part of.
We want both artists and fans to think, "Watch Ice Cream is almost too good to exist in this world."
We're not quite there yet, but we will be!
