Have you been up all night or something? First, if you have more transactions one chargeback is a lower percentage overall. Second, only ONE company would be doing the billing for everyone. I'll tell you a couple of companies that are doing similar. Paypal and Facebook.

You can't have multiple formats... simply put, support couldn't handle it.

Did you get in a time machine and go back to 1996 on me? YouTube plays all videos in FLASH. YouTube supports HD as well as uploads from multiple formats on the fly. This is not new technology and it takes virtually no support to 'handle it'.

It takes roughly a team of 10 people to maintain a vod company correctly. Reddit is a joke, not a porn micro billing site.

Now I just think you're pulling my leg. I mean, there's no possible way you're serious. I'm not even going to respond further to someone assuming hundreds of millions of page views and an active comment system with hundreds of thousands of users is easier to manage than an automated payment / delivery gateway to already produced content.

This isn't a tube filled with 90% shit content, almost all of which isn't hd.
|
No, it's similar to a Tube but filled with whatever content OWNERS upload. If they are too stupid to upload a video worth $1 or $2 then they don't need to be uploading anything.

They all offer download to own, and have done it much cheaper. The reason the prices are $5-$10 is because you make no money otherwise.
|
That is because they want to support affiliates. As you can see from the Tube sites, lower prices do in fact mean more customers. For realistic examples see Facebook games, iTunes, Amazon digital music, RedBox, iPhone applications, Android applications, cheap digital products, and a shitload of other things I am forgetting. These are the companies thriving while the old dogs that think it takes 10 people to manage such a simple system are dying off.

We can't send porn through he mail and not get our asses handed to us, and plenty of people do it like hulu. Hulu btw, has cable tv to complete with - not porn.
|
I didn't say anything about sending porn through the mail. You do know that NetFlix has an unbelievably popular STREAMING service right? You do know it includes THOUSANDS of movies that cost a whole fuckload more than some shit sex scene to produce right? You do know it costs a whopping $7.99 per month right?

$30 is what the surfer likes.. They signup the best, rebill the best, lowest cb's/refunds while keeping affiliates happy and the net profits moving through the company as well.
|
Yes, obviously $30 has less chargebacks and refunds than $20 on the same content. Even if you have data showing more chargebacks on lower cost shit that just couldn't possibly be because it was priced cheaper thanks to it sucking huh?

Dropping to $20 a month is more than half your money gone - it does not mean more transactions - it 100% of the time does mean less money though.
|
No shit, that's on your worn out ass business model of billing $30 for shit I and anyone else in the world can get for free.

It's been tried from pennies to giving them airline tickets vouchers.

I remember this horseshit micropayment stuff you are talking about from years ago. Grandma Jones that had 5 naked pictures of herself charged surfers $0.25 to look at them. No shit it failed, it was implemented like total crap and is nothing like what I'm suggesting.
And airline vouchers? What does that decades old scam have to do with porn?

If I was you, I would stick to the normal programs, as the $1 micro site won't be around for the next pay period to pay you.
|
See, this is why I think you need some sleep. That $1 micro site would be THE SAME FUCKING SITES THAT ARE ONLINE NOW. They would operate exactly like they operate now. They would just have a new entry point to pick up new sales managed by a single entity. I explained this pretty clearly so up to this point. Sure micropayments would open the doors for some alternate shit but that has nothing to do with what you just said. Affiliate payouts for all microniche purchases would be handled by the gateway company.

It would be "impossible" for a porn site to charge that little and stay in business, straight up - impossible.

It would be impossible for you to be any more wrong.
