Pay with ads?

[Huhhoo]

I was wondering, how much would it cost to create free hosting with ads.

Companies can publish their videos and you watch them. The more you watch, the more credits you get for your server.

I'm not sure how well this would work, just asking to see what you think.

Would never work. Unless somebody feels like watching over 100 videos.

Actually, it already does... https://server.pro .
Almost positive that their free plan includes advertisements from server.pro

However, your idea about public advertising isn't feasible as you'd have to have every client watch hundreds of ads just to earn back a nickle of what you spent to create the host

per 1000 views you'd get around $3-$6 so you know, they'd have to watch 1k videos to get $3
