Title basically says all.
For those that don't know, MEGA is an awesome upload site with 50GBs of free storage.
My question is, why do I never see uploaders use it? They seem to always use premium-based websites like RapidGator or Uploaded.
About that you say "why do I never see uploaders use it?" I know a lot of websites that use MEGA
When I say uploaders, I mean people on here, like in the Hentai CG section.
Also, do you mind me asking where the original image in your signature is from?
I have over 20TB of material. Using MEGA is just not feasible, neither logistically nor financially.
Probably not directly related, but just for the record, we have no affiliation with any file-hosting service that would make us encourage the use of a certain host or discourage the use of another. We take a laissez-faire approach and leave it to the uploaders to use whichever services they prefer. We would only discourage certain services for reasons such as malware infestation. (We do have an exemplary list of services we disallow, but as of now, we do not explicitly prohibit any file-hosting service.)Because RG and UL spend a lot of money to the websites in ADS (and that's not bad at all, it's only financial strategy) to try that users who visit their websites buy premium accounts of RG and UL and MEGA don't do that (as far as I know) LOL.

When I started with fansubs with my friend, we even asked the people which filehoster we should use and which one our "viewers" want to download from. In the end nearly 5k voted.Title basically says all.

Result? Most of them voted for uploaded (little more than 30%). Even Mediafire und Zippyshare had more votes than MEGA, which means something.
And even if most of them would have voted for MEGA, we would have most likely changed to the filehoster with the second most votes.
First, 50 GB's is not much for an uploader. Second, we had to upload each file at least two times, since on the first try we would get an error at 99%. Third, in my case, I have an high chance that my own download doesn't even work. The download starts, 45% ... 37% ... 46% ... 36% ... and I haven't found a solution for this so far.
Besides I think many download don't really care about it being a premium-based website or not. If you're a downloader who downloads movies, music, games etc. very often, I would even recommend using a site where you only pay once and you can download from many filehosters as a premium user. Not everything is available via torrent the first links you'll most likely find the first if you're looking for something are such premium-based filehoster, so before you search a long time for an MEGA account e.g. it's better to buy an account.
This is most likely true, but as an user of uploaded myself I have to defend myself, hehe. With my uploads I'm only making around 1-2€ per month. The times I did fansubs with my friend, we made around 20-40€ per month, although we later offered Mega links as well.Well most uploaders dont use mega by one reason and is that they cant make money with mega,not trying to offend to anyone is the truth.
