Ascendents.net music video stream royalties are recorded in ~30-second blocks (depending on connection quality/speed) -- instead of counting plays, time blocks suggest a better represenation of which content is actually being enjoyed the most. Internet connections are not perfect, however; there is extensive coding to maintain monetization integrity, even if internet signals are cutting in and out. Also, there are artificially intelligent algorithms in place to prevent cheating/fraud.
Who are rightsholders?
We know that music consists of more than one component; Ascendents.net is committed to seeing that all sides of the music industry are doing well. Ascendents.net pays royalties to recording label artists, published songwriters, and music video producers, therefore there are THREE royalty components to an Ascendents.net monetized streaming block: the copyright holder of the MC (musical composition), the SR (sound recording), and lastly, the VR (visual residual). When sending royalties to an Ascendents Royalties account, monetized blocks are automatically split three equal ways. If multiple accounts are rightsholders, arrange someone to be the administrator for managing claims and adding additional bonus video information.
What qualifies for royalties?
Our mission and vision includes the next-level platform for bringing music/entertainement industries together to create income. Music videos (belonging to YouTube categories #10 and #22) qualify. If you see a video that is improperly monetized, please contact support or email support@ascendents.net so that we can review it and possibly disable or correct its monetization qualification status.
How much is earned per streaming block?
Rightsholders are paid twice per minute, rather than once per stream. As a result, payment isn't about how much is earned per song or video, it's about how much is earned per time block. Royalty rates are dynamic and depend on several factors -- 1) advertising sales, 2) operating costs, 3) web traffic. If more royalties are being utilized than expected, then Ascendents.net automatically adjusts the royalties rate for the rest of the period. Based on new expected royalties payouts, each week a new royalty rate is recalculated to be as competitive as possible. If revenue allows it, royalty rates will keep increasing at up to 5% per week. Read about Ascendents.net being a Benefit Corporation and its Sustainability. Royalty rates are set to maintain the financial integrity of the company. If there are more royalties blocks than forecasted, the royalty rate automatically discounts to compensate. If there is a shortage in funds, royalty payments can be delayed and/or discounted further.
*(2018-09-05) Nobody bought advertising, and nobody requested royalties even though initially tried to offer one of the better streaming rates out there (compared to many sources, including those listed in this article and in this Information is Beautiful infographic), and YouTube is still awesome and lets us use their API. Currently, the royalties program is in mild hibernation until advertisers help generate artist revenue. Thanks, please contact us with any questions.
**(2019-10-10) Still nobody has purchased advertising, however; it has been used for charity promotion. The royalties program has been re-instated to be industry competitive, whether or not anyone signs up to accumulate and receive royalties.

How much do ads cost?
Since royalty rates change continually and ad rates are based on royalty rates, ad prices also change continually. Check the prices frequently to lock in the best rates.

Like TV, newspaper, and other forms of advertisement, there is no guarantee that people will engage with your ad.
A display means that it was displayed, for example: displaying something in a window does not mean people will turn to focus on it.
At the same time, just because someone doesn't click on your awesome ad doesn't mean that they didn't see it or that they won't factor it into their decisons!

No.20 Madras Mail is a 1990 Malayalam action-comedy film directed by Joshiy, starring Mohanlal in lead role along with M. G. Soman, Jagadish, Manianpilla Raju and Ashokan.
This film was remade in Hindi as Teesra Kaun by Partho Ghosh with Mithun Chakraborty.
No.20 Madras Mail is a murder mystery where a young woman on a train journey between Thiruvananthapuram to Madras gets murdered during the travel. Almost half of the film is shot inside the train.
The train No.20 Madras Mail to Madras starts from Trivandrum Central. R.K. Nair (M.G. Soman), a Kollam-based businessman takes the first class coupe of the train to Madras with his wife Geetha (Jayabharathi) and daughter Devi (Suchitra) from Kollam Junction. Tony Kurushingal (Mohanlal), along with his friends Hitchcock Kanjikuzhi (Manianpilla Raju) and Kumbalam Hari (Jagadish) boards the same coach from Kottayam. Tony is the son of a wealthy businessman, Kurishinkal Kariyachan (Jagannatha Varma), Kanjikuzhi is a detective novelist and Hari is an young politician. The three of them are going to Madras for seeing a cricket match and to make attempts to make Kanjikuzhi's novel Vaazhikuzhiyile Kolapathakam a film. All the three are drunken heavily while boarding the train. After entering the train and seeing Devi, Tony and friends make several attempts in getting a seat for Tony in the same coupe of Devi with the help of TTE officer Nadar (Innocent), but everything fails. While doing this Tony gets into heated arguments with RK Nair and Sunil (Ashokan), who has a reserved seat in the same coupe (from Ernakulam) with R.K. Nair. Actor Mammootty boards the train along the way from Thrissur railway station and gets into the same coach. Nadar leaves the train at Palakkad after giving company with Tony and gang and the new TTE Chokalingam a.k.a. Choki (Jagathy Sreekumar) enters the train. Tony and his friends visits Mammootty in his coupe and soon become friends with him. Meanwhile Tony tries to flirt with Devi while she returns from toilet, which causes Tony to land in trouble with R.K Nair which Mammootty helps to resolve. All goes to sleep late night.
In the morning, as the train reaches Madras, Devi is found murdered in the toilet. Suspicion lands on Tony and friends and they run away from the scene in fear. The investigation is carried out by the Police led by DySP Murthy (V.K.Sriraman) who comes to know via TTE Chokalingam that Mammootty has taken photos of the suspects while in the train. He visits Mammooty and gets the photos and asks him to not try to save them.
Tony and friends seek Mammootty's help and he helps them to return to Kerala secretly. Back in Kerala, they are confronted by Sunil, who was actually the lover of Devi. Both had actually planned to escape from the train at Erode, but failed due to Sunil's delay in getting down from another side, which was planned due to not arousing suspicions. Devi, with the help of station master had then taken a taxi to the next station (Salem) in order to catch back the train from there. Also, from Sunil, they learn about Sr. Gloria (Sumalatha) who tells that Devi gave her diary before leaving for Madras. After acquiring the diary from the convent they come to know that R.K Nair is not Devi's father and that he is the one who killed her father in her childhood. On learning that RK Nair might be the possible murderer, Tony calls RK Nair by phone impersonating Mammootty's voice and says that he has got the diary with him and blackmails him to give Rs 20 Lakhs in return for the diary. Tony tells this to Mammootty and convinces him to proceed with the play. Mammootty and RK Nair meets and agrees to fix the deal on the same No 20. Madras Mail on December 21. Mammootty boards the train at Palakkad on which RK Nair has already booked an entire bogie. Mammootty says that the diary is not present with him and he would hand it over at Salem when Tony joins the train. Nair leaves the train at Erode Junction railway station and goes to Salem station via taxi to find Tony but Tony enters the train in between and with Mammootty's help they power down RK Nair's henchmen. Meanwhile Nair renters the train at Salem Jn and finds that Tony has already entered. Mammootty and Tony attacks Nair and make him confess the truth that he killed Devi after she caught up the train at Salem. The next morning, when the train arrives Madras, DySP Murthy arrests RK Nair who was already been informed of everything by Hari and Kanjikuzhi. On January 1 while boarding the No 19 Trivandrum Mail to return home, they find Mammootty again in the same train. Mammootty tries to leave the train in disguise only to be stopped by Tony and friends who promises a happy and safe journey back home.
