Interesting that you can drag the progress bar in the ad to the end, effectively skipping it.

The pricing is WAY off here.

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.

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.
