Subscribers outside the USA can now sign up, subscribe, and pay for their UATV subscriptions. Please be sure to read and follow all the instructions precisely as written in order to avoid bogging down the developers with questions that are not necessary.
Over the past month, we’ve made significant progress in stabilizing the independent payment infrastructure of Unauthorized. With U.S. subscriptions now being successfully handled by Silicon Prairie’s e-Check system, we are taking the next crucial step by restoring global access through international bank transfers.
Today, we’re introducing two major upgrades:
- Annual plans for all subscriptions
- Bank transfer payments via SWIFT for subscribers worldwide
These changes are not just new payment options. They are part of our long-term strategy to maintain uninterrupted, entirely antifragile service regardless of the actions of external payment processors.
Bank transfers come with their own limitations and requirements, and we hope to cover all of the relevant details in this article. That being said, the important thing to remember is that they provide a reliable, independent fallback option when all other systems fail.
The big news
As of now, annual plans are available for all subscription types. Most are priced at an equivalent value to their monthly counterparts, though the Premium subscription keeps its 1-month discount under the classic Annual plan.
Please don’t hesitate to get back in the game, as it’s going to take a while to get back to where we were previously. But we’ve done it before, so we will do it again. But don’t panic, we’ll give it a few weeks before the paywall goes back up. Also note that this new system supports superchats as well as subscriptions.
Due to the recent algorithmic strangling of many channels on YouTube, we expect that there are going to be more creators coming to UATV later this year, now that it is becoming abundantly clear that the idea of building your brand on the foundation of a platform on YouTube is a very dangerous and high-risk game in which you don’t even know the rules and the referee is playing for the other side.
