Playbill writes a title, a description and a tag list per KIND of site, inside that kind's own field limits — then measures what came back and flags a title that promises something the description never mentions.
Nothing opens in this browser — this one takes a job and does the work on our own graphics cards in Oregon. The free allowance below is how you try it: 20 listings, no card and no payment, on the key you are issued.
Work in, work out. Four site kinds, each with different field lengths and different rules, and the limits are checked in Python after the writing rather than hoped for.
The problem
One site cuts the title at sixty characters, another at a hundred; one indexes the tag field, another ignores it. Write one listing and paste it four places and you get four half-listings. Worse, the title that gets the click is the one that over-promises, and the over-promise is what gets the account flagged — by the site, not by a customer.
written separately. Not one listing copied four times: a title, a description and a tag list per kind of site, each inside that kind's own field limits.
Every field is counted in Python after it is written. A listing that came back over the limit is rewritten or held back; it is never shipped at a length the site will cut.
Playbill will not predict where you will place. Anybody selling you a number there is selling you a guess about somebody else's algorithm.
This is the refusal that makes Playbill different from a copy generator. If the title names a thing — an act, a person, a setting — and the description you supplied never mentions it, the row comes back flagged. Over-promising is what gets a listing removed and an account marked, and a tool that happily writes the bait is not on your side.
How it works
A title and a description per clip, out of your own export. No credentials and no plugin — Playbill never logs in to a site as you.
Each kind is a different set of field limits and a different idea of what a title is for. You say which ones you list on; there is no default, because a default here is a guess about your business.
Before the listings, the flag column: which rows promised more than they described. Those are the ones worth your five minutes. The rest are ready to paste.
What it will never do
A listings tool makes money by being optimistic. Playbill has four places where it refuses to be, and they are the reason it is worth having.
Pricing
A listing is one clip for one kind of site. Three kinds for one clip is three listings, because it is three pieces of writing. Every key starts with 20 free — no card, no expiry — and after that credit does not expire either, so a pack bought for a back catalogue still covers next quarter's uploads.
Enough to see the flags on your own catalogue.
A working catalogue listed everywhere you sell.
Years of uploads brought up to standard at once.
Flat per listing. A held-back row and a failed row are both uncharged, so the refusals above cost us rather than you. Your licence key is emailed to you within two working days of payment.
Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor. The units you buy are added to your key: buy from the Buy more box inside the program and they arrive on their own once the payment confirms, or buy here and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that box.
Questions
Because the sites in a kind share their field limits and their idea of a title, and the ones in different kinds do not.
Writing per named site would mean maintaining a table of several hundred sites that change their fields without telling anybody. Writing per kind means the limits are the strictest in that kind, which is the only honest way to be inside all of them.
A thing named in the title that the description you gave never mentions.
It is checked in Python against your own words, not judged by a model deciding what is tasteful. The flag says which phrase and where, so you can either fix the description or drop the claim.
No. It writes listings for clips you already have.
What to make is a decision about your business, and a program with no idea what you shot last month has no business having an opinion about it.
No. The model is on our own graphics cards in Oregon, and Playbill reads text — never a video and never a still.
There is no third-party API in the path, so there is nothing to ask us to delete later.
A key. One line of text, issued to you and shown exactly once — only its hash is kept here, so it cannot be looked up later and we could not tell you what yours is. Every key arrives with a free allowance already on it, which is the tier at the top of the pricing above, and the work starts the first time you send a job with that key on it.
Each job is metered in the unit named in the pricing, and a unit that fails — a file that will not read, a row the model held back — is not charged and is named in the job report rather than silently skipped. When an allowance runs out the next job is refused before any work starts, with the number it used printed on the refusal.
More units are bought in bitcoin. The checkout is a bitcoin server we run ourselves. Buy from the Buy more box inside the program and the units are added to your key on their own as soon as the payment confirms; buy from the plan buttons above and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that same box. Each payment adds its units once, to one key.
Send fifty rows. Read the listings if you like, but read the flags first — the over-promises already in your catalogue are the ones the sites are looking at too.
