Per the co-founders, Watrfall empowers fans to financially invest in the stories they care about while actively participating in their creation through voting on projects, engaging in the creative process, and gaining transparent access to financials, enabling fans to step into the role of producer.

To quote Bubsy:

    I mean isn’t this already what Kickstarter does? Just with a few extra touch points.

    I guess my point is that giving that kind of control to fans doesn't necessarily make a better end-product. Often, it dilutes what is there to cater to fan-obsessive bullshit.

    I don’t necessarily disagree. There’s a reason a lot of fan fiction is drivel.

    I just think we’ve had platforms that already do this with mixed results. I don’t think it’s gonna be anything new we haven’t seen.

    I don't think major studios are any different. Most of what I see when looking for new things to watch are franchises that seek to satiate the fandom. If fan based drivel is going to end up being a significant portion of films anyway I'd rather the money go to creators than executives
