@ bubawuba: We don't need to increase our payouts because we know what people prefer and choose. Our speeds are equivalent, if not better, than MU's. Can't get more simple than that
Sure, we could add a tier for Premium users only and call it $50/1000 downloads or add a PPS program...What good is that going to do any of our users if they start getting speeds that are below anyone's "standards"?
Nothing! Besides making you and ourselves richer while the vast majority of premiums are taken for idiots (and won't come back for "seconds"). We've found a good equilibrium that will not only reward people who share with their friends, but also give everyone satisfactory speeds.
