It is a viable method, you just won't get many customers. For a smaller userbase, it is entirely feasible and profitable to do stuff like this based on subscriptions. Ad revenue can be higher, but is volatile and harder to implement. Personally, I feel like this is delving too close to other SVOD services. While a potential four figure CPM is alluring, I don't think we'll truly begin to see it.
- manigandham 7y agoHow is a smaller user base more viable? You can look at Patreon to see just how few accounts make anywhere near a fulltime salary, let alone enough to pay for top tier video production. This model depends on scale. Also how are ads "harder to implement"?
- trazire 7y agoAds are harder to implement correctly. Obviously, you can get an AdSense script tag and probably get it working in a couple days, but if you want a good CPM, that's not plausible. A smaller user base is more valuable as they're more targeted and likelier to buy subscriptions. There are your outliers like those Patreon accounts and Netflix, but they're not very common.
