Sure, we pay the double amount in Bandwidth costs as other hosts does, and then again the double amount of servers for mirror server locations. The videos at here have at least 2 MBit/s Bitrate in total, other hosts does 600 - 1400 kbit in average, they save tons of bandwidth costs, server costs and no backups, no mirrors, you lose files if the server hard disk go broke in other host. But for users like you, you dont care about how we pay the servers.
Yes, its true, i raise the rates often, because users like you spam us and begged for impossible rates increase over the high server costs and since the advertziers suddenly pays in half since 1. december, i hit the emergcy brake and now it will stays like this, i do not feel like anymore about this same discussion again and again for almost every day since 2 years.
RapidVideo had only 15$ rates in the beginning and i sticked with that plan, yet all others complains very often. So im going to ignore this discussions about the rates futher. You only get what the advertizers pays.
