VidFall.com – Pay with your time, not your wallet

It looks like I accrued one point for watching one ad. Cool.<p>Now I try to reduce the price of an item: (First number is the points I need to reduce by that amount)<p>50 ($0.01)<p>100 ($0.02)<p>500 ($0.10)<p>1000 ($0.20)<p>2500 ($0.50)<p>5000 ($1.00)<p>Do I need to watch fifty ads to reduce the price of an item by one cent?

Cynically brilliant. If this works, you&#x27;ve built a platform for the consumption of product ads, in which you consume ads before buying into the original ad.<p>It just might work. I hope it doesn&#x27;t, for moral reasons.

This is an interesting variation on the penny auction sites that were en vogue about 2-3 years ago, but you&#x27;re &quot;bidding&quot; with your time rather than your money.<p>Nevertheless, people quickly realized that penny auctions are a sucker&#x27;s game -- see <a href="http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/2011-05-13-komando-penny-auctions_n.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;usatoday30.usatoday.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;columnist&#x2F;kimkomando&#x2F;201...</a> -- and I don&#x27;t see why it&#x27;s any different with VidFall.<p>But points for originality.

Seems like a variant of swagbucks (<a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.swagbucks.com&#x2F;</a>) except the discounts you earn toward giftcards from watching videos gets pooled toward the one person who decides to buy first.

It&#x27;s going to be crawling with bots soon if there isn&#x27;t a captcha of some sort in place.

The fact that another user can take advantage of the low price before you really kinda sucks. I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;d ever use this.<p>EDIT 1 - Additionally, you can open multiple tabs with multiple videos muted and to make the price drop faster.<p>EDIT 2 - These items can run out, which can really stink if you&#x27;re waiting around for the price to drop to the one you&#x27;re looking for.

Not bad if you&#x27;re already in the market for something. I just saved $10 on a $25 gift card.

Interesting that you can drag the progress bar in the ad to the end, effectively skipping it.<p>The pricing is WAY off here.<p>As @voltagex_ noted, you must watch 50 ads to save $0.01, which is a CPM of $0.2, whereas many video CPMs are in the $20 range. A markup of 10000% seems a little extreme.

I&#x27;m in the top 10 and I have only watched one video. Awesome.

what ad service is this using?
