Videosift used to charge for a premium account that would enable you to have more community options. Perhaps they should make the premium account cheaper to drive up volume and get more.
They don't pay for video bandwidth, so it's kind of weird how they have such high costs.
- rms 18y agoTheir premium options are here: http://www.videosift.com/upgrade http://www.videosift.com/upgrade At first thought the lengths they have chosen make it seem more expensive than it is. There is something psychologically odd about the base 10 numbers chosen. 30 days/90 days/180 days feels better, I think.
- dag1 18y agoI'm surprised that you are surprised that our costs would be $4,000 a month. VideoSift serves around 3 million PVs per month, and not a lot of flat content - we have 4 large dual Xeon servers and a CDN to distribute content to local servers. Throw in taxes and misc fees - and we've reached $4K on some months without even paying anyone to work on the site. And yet, a site like Digg can lose $5.3 million in 2008 and it seems perfectly normal. Sure we are tiny by comparison, but we are not <em>that</em> tiny.
