I think many sites would charge less and retain longer if they didn't have to pay affiliates.
But for most of them, with no affiliates there would be no joins, so unless you can get all the traffic you need without affiliates then it's a moot point.

Agreed.
It will take a
lot of traffic. An example. After showing a compressed FLV, the site sells the full res version @ $1.
Sell 1,000 a day = $1,000.
Assuming you can convert 1-100, this is silly but for an obvious reason. You need 100,000 surfers a day.
Who will buy at 1-100. That's a lot of good quality traffic.
Now deduct costs, content, hosting, site building, site maintaining, billing, etc.
You need to really scratch your head on how you can get that much traffic at very low costs to make it pay. Yes you might get people buy 2-3 in a hit and lose them for a week.
iTunes is owned by Google? Or Apple.
Yes this is what online needs. But getting enough traffic to make it work is the stumbling block.
Fill a room with people on minimum wage, put Damian in charge of them and can they get that much good traffic?
Can a company afford to invest in a model like this?
Or just stick an ad on Porntube.
