Even if the payoff didn't make me think this was a template contract for sex videos, I don't get it.

The problem with these kinds of videos isn't trusting the other party in the present, but in the future.

What stops one from doing a screencast of the video, and then publishing it months later when you break up?

I think "a prenup for home videos" might be the worst marketing angle possible. It sounds like a legal contract. But, worse, it makes it sound like it's only something you should use if you don't trust the other person. Instead, they should market it as "2fa for sex tapes" rather than a trust issue by itself and point to things like "the fappening" icloud social engineering hack. I can't imagine many people using thi…

Thanks guys, this reply thread has some really good feedback. The tagline actually used to be 'a condom for your sex tapes' (hence the big camera illustration,) but it got swapped out over time as it seemed a bit of a 'strong' word.

Going to deeply consider the angle moving forward :)

It's bizarre. Why is this focused just on sex tapes ? There are many, many reasons why viewing private videos that require two people to approve is useful. Even during legal negotiations or confidential meetings. Two lawyers could hold the keys for example.

I could see hits being a great tool for startups and others where multiple authorizations needed for sharing information on a device.

And for those in USofA this could be very helpful for protecting data when asked for passwords by CBP because they wont be able to authorise from the other device!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would you respond the same way to someone whose spouse emptied out their bank accounts and ran off?

How is this different, there are always this risk when one share back account.

That it's not so different is my point.

I really strongly agree that the current messaging suggests that you should only use it if you don't trust the other person, and that it's at least partly caused by the 'prenup' language. But as a tagline, "2fa for sex tapes" doesn't really get you to a positive message. An alternative: "The safest way to share your most intimate moments." It takes what is a deeply troubling problem (revenge porn) — and turns it into…
