I upvote a lot. Most of the people on here are posting personal work they have put their lives into.

The idea is really based on crowdsourced discounts. Creating a win-win for advertisers and consumers. Will be interesting how the market reacts.

We have security measures in place for suspicious activity! We have to protect our advertisers.

Hey, sorry for the confusion. Each video you watch decreases the price of the item for sale. In addition to the price decrease, you get vidfall points. These points are used at the 50 to .01 ratio. It is just an added bonus. Something users get even if they don't make the purchase. Users can apply these points at any time.

Thanks, yea we were definitely inspired by the penny auction sites. However, we saw them as predatory. The nice thing about VidFall is you can't lose any money. Just a fun way to get discounts on gift cards. Thanks for the feedback.
