> an alternate pricing option/model where a server can be paid for by a company or organization instead of individuals (which would remove stream quality and upload file size limits)

What's stopping an organization from buying multiple server boosts from a single account to unlock these features? If you need the level 3 perks, you can have a single account, owned by the organization, purchase the 30 server boosts to get there.

Or am I misunderstanding the problem?




Nothing, it’s just somewhat roundabout and not really tailored for that scenario. For 1) the pricing model for that doesn't make sense for small teams (which IMO are most likely to adopt, for big teams it’s a deal). You need 30 server boosts to get 100mb upload limit which is $150/mo. And them that doesnt apply to DMs. And 2) the logistics don’t really work out. You need separate accounts to buy the boost. If you buy nitro for the deal it’s account bound which doesn't make tons of sense since nitro only applies to that one account. I’m not saying you cant make it work, more that it’s overly roundabout at the moment. Would just be nice to allow some org to have an account and to gift boosts to users or something to bridge the gap for small teams.

You can do that.

I wish that worked for the higher tier. That’s only 50mb upload and 720 video. I’d say most professionals need the higher tier.
