thanks for productive discussion.
this discount is mainly used by our uploaders, who dont have $15 per 30 days (for example they have a delay in uploading). And sometime by our customers - encouraging them to make more rebills.
Another issue - almost every content can be found on bittorent, that`s why this is not good way of making money - only reupload content from torrents. And on "well known filehosts" you can find even more such content.
"99% of the content on xxxxxx can easily be found on another filehosts" - change xxxxxx to ANY filehost name, and this will be true. If uploader work on content - he will see sales and rebills. we have guys moving from another hosts, only thing they do - lookind for niche content and sharing it on their small blog. No link posting or sharing on another forums. They have $40-60 steady daily income.
truth is, we`re working hard for uploaders - our revshare program one of the best on marked. Uploaders with good sales who move from another "well known filehosts" increase their earnings.
and last but not least - we dont see big changes in sales from top 100 uploaders on revshare.
anyway - we discuss pricing almost every month in our team, so we might consider change it.
Thanks for your critiqie!

Hi ES (or should I call you Crocko now ?)
Thanks for the fast reply.
You are right of course, content is a main factor. However, if you upload movies like I do, it is very hard to find unique content which is not on bittorrent ;-(
Personally, I remain with my point of view that pricing is a key factor on every business. I think that especially with "warez", people really don't want to pay
But what I forgot to mention in my previous post, there is something you can easily do to help the uploaders and yourself : get rid of "premium link generators", "rapidleech stuff" or whatever these people call themselves.

I'm a member of a very private Belgium forum (approx 5000-6000 members, probably less as 1000 active)
A year ago, there was a kind of consensus among the uploaders to use as much as possible the same filehost. And guess who the lucky one was ? ES ! At that time, 90% of the content was on ES. High prices were no problem, as ES gave everyone 30% discount (I guess you know which forum I'm talking about haha)
One year later, this has changed. Other filehost popped up, and people discovered
http://www.real-debrid.com. For those who don't know them, Real Debrid costs 4 euro/month, and gives access to over 80 filehosts. There are still many people who upload to ES, but I think the only one who makes real money of it is RD, not you and not the uploaders.
So please start blocking the premium accounts these and similar companies use ! It is against your TOS, so legally it can not be a problem.
