I can understand they want to monetize their website to build a sustainable community. But users make their videos which are the most important things to the website, they didn’t ask for anything, but they deserved something. In my opinion, the most acceptable way to monetize a video website is to share revenue from advertisements with the users depend on views or something like CPM. This is also a good way to encourage users to make more popular videos.

Revver is sharing revenue with users, I think it’s doing better and better, the design of the website is better than before, and the loading speed is even faster, good to see that. The reason I left Revver, is I don’t like their manual review part of video, I have to wait one or two days to see my video online. Sometimes I upload a video, is for my blog, I need to post the video on my blog, I don’t want to wait till tomorrow, because my post have to be done today.
