VidAngel.com - Protect Your Family From Sex, Profanity, and Violence

One of the most aggravating things to my wife and I is the media that surrounds us every day. We are expecting our first child, and the thought of our baby growing up in a world like we live in is a disturbing image. Movies and videos are streaming all over the internet with negative content that I would not want my children to watch.

I have seen many programs like ClearPlay, which filter the negative content from DVDs, but that does not solve the problem that we are facing. Most people are watching their entertainment through streaming online video and movies, my small family included. One of the greatest things I could imagine having is the ability to filter the garbage out of YouTube and streaming movies.

For years I have looked for a service that would satisfy our needs, but like they always say, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. ;)

How VidAngel Came To Be

My brothers and I have all felt the same way about this issue. We have continually felt the need to improve and fix this problem. In 2012, my brother Neal woke up in the middle of the night with the idea of how we could accomplish this. He and my two brothers, Jeffrey and Daniel, have marketed many companies and we all enjoyed the ideas of fixing this issue. We spoke with people that had previously been in the market of filtering movies, and they revealed that 48% of people prefer an airport version of a movie over a rated R or unrated version of a movie. With this in mind, we knew there was an idea to create.

One year latter, we have created the service of our dreams. It is wonderful thing to be a part of.

How VidAngel Works

VidAngel is designed to clean up all of YouTube and Google Play Movies. The idea is that in the future, we plan to work with Netflix, Amazon, and many other streaming video services. We decided to work with YouTube because it has a large community and tens of thousands of vloggers who are spitting out rated R material in 3 minute intervals.

There are two types of passes on VidAngel. There is the Community Pass which is completely free. That comes with the unlimited online YouTube video filters (these are not filters for full length movies). There is also a Premium Pass which comes with unlimited YouTube and movie filters. You can easily pick a movie on VidAngel.com, rent the movie, and customize your experience for your family. I have enjoyed the experience and will recommend this to anyone. I can tell it is a positive thing for my community.

We are also giving away a free Chromecast device with your first years subscription. Chromecast is like Apple TV but from Google. This allows you to stream videos from your smartphone and computer to your HDTV.
