Break.com, a video sharing web site similar to YouTube, announced that it will pay $400 for user-generated videos and as much as $2,000 for animated shorts. When Break launched last year they offered $50 per video and later raised that to $250 before the increase to $400.
With Google backing the massively popular YouTube, competitors have increasingly turned to paying contributers in an effort to lure them away from YouTube. Metacafe launched a similar program called “producer rewards” earlier this year.
