Do you know BBs minds about my idea?


they usually don't communicate it, but there was a some seasons ago where they had a question in that direction - so they obviously though about it in the past(but they doesn't realisiied it but don't ask me for reason why^^).

No, my arguement still stands. Your argument is still based on supply and demand, not what an individual earns.. Please read what I said correctly before you try and flame me.

Regardless, if I have to pay $40 for supporter, and someone who lives in a desert/on a glacier/or even in feckin space only has to pay $20 and gets the exact same things I do, I'm not gonna be paying, and like I said before, I'm sure alot of other people feel the same whether they publicly say it or not.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I cant accept not trying. - MJ

Me neither, but this comes up a lot in antitrust law This is basically what everyone is suggesting - perfect price discrimination would get everyone to buy supporter and allow the BBs to maximize their profits. Sadly, not as easy as it sounds.

but different prices as different market are quite usual, because there is not a small line betwen a user from Nigeria and USA in terms of buying powers.

Also i am not sure if it really price descrimination, because the BB (might) be affected of it, through ad also and have different income from ads in different market which correlates with the buying power of the markets.

I haven't expected positive results after my proposal. Money are more important for BBs...

I'm not disagreeing with you - I didn't mean that it's a bad thing, just that it's more difficult to segment the market in a profitable way than you'd think. Right now, the BBs may be losing money on people who would otherwise be willing to buy supporter if it were cheaper, but you wouldn't want to take that too far in the other direction and lose money by charging people less than what they're willing to pay. Anyway... I'm a lawyer, not an economist. Just figured I'd throw it out there.

That´s the very direction I´m coming from.

Impletment a system which balances itself, and maybe even limit accessability about the offers in different regions by making them IP filtered. You minimize the option of overthrowing with stubborn users then.

Actually, the guy above mentioning the "if someone somewhere else gets the same thing for a lower price i would stop buying it" is extremely inconsequent. Else he´d be dead by now, because EVERYTHING he consumes, eats and uses is cheaper somewhere in the world.
