bitvids.net is gone

Another adult realted crypto-powered video-hosting platform gone! This is the letter that they'd sent:

Hey all,

We’ll get straight to the point - we’d like to keep BitVids running perpetually but we’re having trouble paying operational costs. We’re looking for small BTC donations through our tip page: https://bitvids.net/$bitvids

We think a video hosting platform like BitVids can be successful in the near future with greater Bitcoin adoption worldwide. We just haven't reached that reality yet. Luckily, since BitVids payments are purely crypto-based, our operational costs are low. Thus it makes sense to try a donation model to keep the project running before looking at other options.

We’re asking for a total of $270 by the end of June. Here’s an exact breakdown of our operational costs from last month:

Heroku (server fees): $121.00
AWS (video storage/conversion): $70.30
Prerender.io (server-side rendering): $35.00
Misc fees (email, uptime monitoring, font license, incorporation fees): $43.50

--

Total: $269.80

If we see any interest in donations, we’ll add a webpage which tracks progress towards our monthly goal.

We’d like to keep BitVids running forever as a crypto-only alternative for models selling videos. We just need a little help from the community this month 🙏

BitVids Team

The site is not accessible any more. 270 dollars! Sad story!
