this is 3,6 cent per view. what would even be A LOT in member areas.
imagine the following:
if a membersite have 1000 paid members and each one pays 19,90 per month.
it would be a gross income of around 18.000 US. after payment costs.
we now assume that every member watches an average of 2 videos a day then you get 60,000 views or 2,160 dollars at 3.6 cents per view.
now assume further that this website pays 50% to the referring webmaster what will be another 9.000 US.
that leaves the program owner with 6.840 dollars from what he have to pay server and content delivery costs, website design and administration, promotion material etc.
if you take another 3.500 for that per month he is left with 3.340 Dollars before tax from the 19.900 he started with.
if he would now pay 7 cent instead of 3,6 cent he would work for nothing.
unfortunately pornhub membership is not 19,90 but 9,95 per month.
I am not sure what is a valid view with them. if a user have to watch the video til the end or at least XXX seconds.
