(I will pause the project, Its my last year in highschool i must score good in final exams  ) => I will work hard on this project soon after i finish!

So i am currently working on a anime steaming website. (Its now live, but Still BETA)

It’s a site where you can watch anime for free—no annoying pop-ups or ads. And after each episode, you answer a question about what you just watched. If you get it right, you earn rewards! You can either cash them out through PayPal (I am still adding crypto withdraw) or use them to upgrade your rank and earn even more.

Not every anime is on the site yet, but there’s a Suggest button where you can request ones you’d like to see. I’ll usually have them added within 24 hours, so it’s pretty quick.

Anyway, I hope you check it out and enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know what you think!

Are you not afraid that the same people will try to abuse this as much as they can in order to win and cash out as much money and crypto as they can? How big are the rewards?
Are you also selling subscription packages or how does the site make money to account for the giveaways after each episode?

It sounds like an interesting idea for the end-user and hopefully you won't attract the wrong group of people.

[TheUltraElite]

So the site does not have https - which is the first bad thing.

Second the site is asking for mandatory signups. I believe you are going to collect these emails and sell them - natural methods of making money for such sites that give rewards for doing nothing. People will use throwaway emails anyway.

Still dont get how you are going to make money from the site if you are not putting up some ads. You might eventually once the traffic increases which is also not bad as long as the annoyance factor is low.

Be ready for the copyright trolls to bang your door, pirated content dont last long.

Nice and a bit unique idea for an anime website. I just concerned of your site getting shutdown down soon just like any anime sites particularly the big ones.

As per accessing it, the site is not mobile responsive so, fixing it will be a huge improvement on user experience.

Its good that I have a good anti-virus; it prevented me from downloading something from the site and accessing the site too, and checking on Virustotal it was flagged by one anti-virus vendor. The anti-virus I'm using is not one of them because it's not listed yet, so we have two AV flagging the platform, and this is not good. Maybe this is the reason why OP is offering this for free so they can download something on your machine.

After doing a lot of research, I’ve found that the best way to display ads is by using banners on the sides of the video player. This approach ensures that the user experience remains unaffected.

Regarding system abuse, I am actively working on a solution to track user interactions. For example, the system will monitor if a user answers the question at the end of an episode without actually watching the video. This will help prevent misuse and maintain fairness.

As for the rewards, I am aiming to make them as generous as possible to help the website gain popularity. Currently, I am not focused on earning money from the platform, so introducing subscriptions is not part of the plan for now.

Thank you for your interest and feedback!

The website is currently in its BETA phase, so I’m actively working on improving its security, including adding HTTPS soon. Regarding emails, I use Appwrite for authentication, which ensures that user data is safe and secure. I want to clarify that I have no intention of selling emails—user privacy is a priority for me.

As for earnings, I’m currently relying on banner ads, which are non-intrusive and don’t affect the user experience. In the future, I might explore additional monetization methods, such as captcha monetization or video ads, but for now, I’m satisfied with just banners.

About copyright concerns, I understand the risks and am prepared to handle them as they come. Thanks for your feedback and interest in the project!

Thank you for your feedback and kind words about the idea! I understand the concern about the site potentially facing challenges like other anime sites. I’m taking steps to address these issues and ensure the site’s longevity, though I know it’s a constant effort.

Regarding mobile responsiveness, I completely agree with you! It’s something I’m actively working on as part of improving the user experience. Making the site accessible and smooth across all devices is a top priority in the upcoming updates. Thanks again for your suggestions—they’re greatly appreciated!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I will immediately investigate the source of this issue on my website to ensure there’s nothing malicious happening. It’s worth mentioning that websites generally cannot download anything onto your computer without your explicit confirmation.

I take user safety and trust very seriously, and I’ll make it a priority to resolve this matter. If you have any additional details or insights, feel free to share them—they would be incredibly helpful. Thanks again for letting me know!

OP, you can use multi-quote to reply to multiple posts. It will make your thread easier to read and won't break any forum rules. Btw, I also think that requiring an account to access your website limits the number of users who will visit it. Why not offer a guest account option and limit some access so that if they want to continue watching anime or use your website they need to make an account? Especially when they don't know what animes are available to watch?

On the other hand, I also don't think anime watchers want to spend their time answering questions, so there's a high chance anyone who visits a platform like this is just going for the money. So there will be a high number of abuses imo.

[robelneo]

I know that the site is still in beta, but at least create an FAQ page or explain how it works page so people will know what to expect when they sign up.
What animes are you going to show? There's a possibility that you will get flagged or taken down if you are going to show copyrighted materials, and also, where did you get inspiration for launching this platform?

Yeah, you should prioritize that first as lots of users use mobile devices.

There is a "How does it works" page on the site already.

Its good that I have a good anti-virus; it prevented me from downloading something from the site and accessing the site too..

Didn't experience this one though, and yes i'm using Brave with its ad blocker standard (default) setting.

I kept looking for it, brother, but can't see it. I'm using a desktop, and this is my view: is it inside the site and not outside and only accessible inside the platform? I'd like to be corrected. I'm not looking for a description, but full details on the purpose of the platform, the terms, and how to earn and withdraw earnings—some important details like an FAQ.

[PX-Z]

I kept looking for it, brother, but can't see it. I'm using a desktop, and this is my view: is it inside the site and not outside and only accessible inside the platform?

Oh, well, it probably visible only when you logged in, it displayed on the site's footer.

Here's the link

Code:

https://animequest.fun/how-it-works

Note: Some user experienced download file attempt from the site after accessing it it might be from ads, idk, it didnt happened to me, so be cautious.

If you can access it without logging in, then OP should make this url visible on the site even without logging in or creating an account.

Thank you for this, brother. Since this is in beta and we are in a project development section, I recommend that this is how it works page be made visible so visitors can read it and from there decide if this is the kind of platform that they want to join and work with. Besides, all membership platforms work this way. I also recommend that a video explainer is the best way to explain how his platform works; maybe in the future you can do this.

I don't see anything wrong with the mobile experience (at least for now), but the only drawback I see now is the mandatory account registration, which I believe will be a drawback for new users who have yet to learn about the quality services your website provides. Besides, most movie streaming websites I know allow users to watch movies until a certain feature is clicked before requiring the user to create an account.
How will manage the website if you're planning to pay a generous fund in crypto for the users that provide the correct answer to the question asked after watching the anime?

Having said that, I like what you're doing because it is something that can give kids some chance to watch anime, while they also earn some crypto for their future benefit.

[joniboini]

Thanks for the suggestion! I like the idea of guest account access and might add that. As for the questions, users can still watch anime without answering them. Don’t worry about abuse—I’ve set up a system to handle it.

If that were the case, mandatory registration would not be necessary. Based on my experience with anime streaming websites, they get traffic even if the number of registered users isn't high. I think this should be on the higher end of your to-do list since no one will visit your website if they can't see anything. Having the option to watch in HD is also good, though I'm not sure where you'd get the files from. CMIIW.

As for abuse, I hope it works as well as you expected. I don't think it will affect end users that much unless there is an exploit that leaks your database.

I'm sure a chat room will be set up immediately to post answers as soon as they are asked.  Scammers don't mind helping each other if it doesn't take away from their own profits.

Yeah, it’s on my list, though I might be a bit slow because of exams. For the crypto funds, I’ll try partnering with other projects to make it work. Thanks a lot for your support!

You’re right, optional registration should be a priority so users can explore the site first. I’ll work on that. For HD files, I’ll figure it out as I go.

I’ll also make sure the system is secure to protect user data. Thanks for your input—it means a lot!

I’ve got a plan for this. Questions only give 20 points and can’t be answered again, so it’s up to the user to answer correctly after finishing the episode (they’ll earn more points for watch time). Or they can use these chats to answer, but under the video, there’s a random code. Entering that code gives way more points, based on their rank.

Are you going to create a unique question/answer for each bot that wants to test your site?   I hope you can see this is a no-starter...

[ABCbits]

Anyway, I hope you check it out and enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know what you think!

I haven't tried sign up. But this is ambitious project, considering you're in high school. Anyway, is it right to assume you suffer losses since there's no financial income?

Only 1 out of 96 AV says the website it's malicious, so personally i think it's just false positive.

The marketing and making the platform bug-free will take up a lot of work and time since many members have posted their suggestions and criticism, and you will pause the project because of the final exam. its better to lock this thread and just open it again after you finish the exam.
Good luck on your final exam. May you have a good grade to further motivate you to reach your goal.
