Here's the problem, very few people have enough content to make this work. Then if you mixed it with others, it means you have to pay them a cut (and your sales staff to get them) So you have a cut going to aff's, content owners, and the owner directly - ie: Why vod fails.
So now you're doing micro payments, and only making a micro amount of money. You end up like the rest of the vod companies, massive income - zero net profits.

If you have a paysite already you can add your current content to a micropayment website without hurting anything. As long as you have a decent number of videos it would always be a better value to buy a membership than to buy every video and each video would be upselling your paysite anyhow. Memberships should cost less than $30 but I doubt it will start out that way. If a paysite doesn't have say 100 videos in their members area then they shouldn't be a paysite to begin with.
As for too many people getting a cut, you are looking at it from the perspective of the gateway owner being as greedy as every moron before him. The gateway owner in this case would be a smaller version of Paypal, 5 to 10% would be plenty.
Also, there's not much tech involved in this at all. The entire system is extremely easy to setup, the only hard part is talking content owners into adding their stuff. Old dogs like old tricks, even when they are dying from doing them too much. There will be plenty of resistance but some will try it and when they succeed everyone else will jump on board as well.
