Suggestions to generate sales:
- make HQ / HD res only available to viewers who buy a premium account. If you want more, you have to pay more.
- block free users or add waiting times for free viewers during peak times
I doubt that a watching limit of 74 minutes is an effective way to sell premium accounts and finance the service. It's so easy to become a "fresh user" by obtaining a new IP. I agree with the majority here that you should find a solution soon to make viewers, uploaders and yourself happy. :-)
Ok of course, we can try make 1080p only for premium, it will save us traffic and improve the speed in general.
