I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.
I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…
Wait, there are parts of the world where you can pay for online subscriptions via BANK TRANSFER?!
Bank transfer is the standard option because everyone has a bank account and everyone can do it, also, there’s generally zero fees attached. There may be more convenient options, but it basically always is there as a fallback. As a company you have an account, anyway, only thing you need to do is have your payment system look through incoming transactions and scan the “intended use” field for a transaction id or account number or such you told people to put in there.
