This looks cool, and I want to watch it, BUT...
It will be a cold day in hell before I buy anything that is hosted somewhere that allows me to watch it. If you want me to BUY it, then you have to actually sell me something... As in "Once I pay money for it, it lives on MY computer, not YOUR website."
Your website could disappear at any time for any number of reasons, and if it does, the thing you claim you sold me goes with it.
I'll pay for a download. I'll pay for a streaming services that hosts hundreds of things for me to watch. Hell, I'll even pay for a streaming service that has a handful of things I want to watch if you give me a cool exclusive miniature to go with it.
But I'm not purchasing access to single video which could disappear at anytime for any number of reasons. Personally, I believe nobody should, since it's a bad business model and we need to stamp it out like 8-track tapes, but I'm not really at liberty to impact other people's choices about what they do with their own money.
On a side note, 8-track tapes were fething terrible, but at least when you bought one you actually owned something.
