We are working on "freemium" system like that.
the first site using the system is
www.bestgonzo.com
It is in very very early beta.
To become a member, users only needs to submit an email address.
Videos are then limited to a few minute unless you confirm your email address.
Then they will get a bigger player, higher quality ect and more watch time.
We will be testing different variation and based on the user behavior, we will adapt the limitations to what get the best reaction from the users.
If they upgrade to a paid account they will get more channels, exclusive premium content, have access to their favorite content for life.
No matter if the premium accounts expire, their accounts never expire.
We will add micro transactions and test a bunch of ideas & concepts we had over the years.
We are working on many "freemium" features so people will be able to upgrade free.
Cant tell more for now
, but maybe we will see a new era of video Paysite with PPL programs.
