Hello everybody,

The new updates schedule has allowed me to make the most of whatever time I got available to work on the site this days.

Expect the first quarterly update in a week, March 1.

I am also returning to "Premium Changes for 2023" as I announced them on January 10th - aka the minimal Premium plan will be 6 months.

There are two reasons behind this:


  1. the majority of our members prefers to pay only once, download what they need and move on - unhealthy for the economy in the long run;

  2. the only way to encourage and maintain long-term commitment is making frequent uploads of quality content - unrealistic given our circumstances.


Finally, I am disabling the third-party PayPal solution, leading to monetization through crypto. Again, two reasons for this:


  1. PayPal solution fee was eating about half of our profits, leading to the prices becoming unreasonably high; leading to barely anyone using it - so far, cryptocurrencies accounted for more than 75% of all purchases in 2023.

  2. PayPal solution was once again pretty unstable throughout February, with many users reporting not receiving Premium with their payments lost.


Of course, "Buy us a video" (bounty system) remains an alternative for those absolutely unable to get into crypto.
