This has been trialed several places before and never taken off, the type of people willing to engage in micropayments at all, but who will never subscribe at any price point, seems to be quite small.
- nonameiguess 5y agoNot entirely true. There are a few porn sites that have had success moving away from "all scenes access" subscription models to load up an account and purchase individual scenes from the pool models. And, of course, services like Clips4Sale have always worked this way. I suspect it would work well enough for any kind of cross platform video on demand service, not just adult, but no such thing exists right now because streaming providers largely don't work with each other the way porn providers do, preferring to own both the content and the platform. Another part of this is I guess the payments aren't really "micro" in the video case, as filmed scenes are more expensive to produce and more valuable to consume than most written articles, so they can charge more per scene than anyone would ever pay per article.
