Just my opinion but 10% is a lot for an automated process and will turn a lot of people off. Would it not be best to aim to recover development costs via large volumes (at lower rates) than hitting early adopters with high fees? If you look at other industries you pay 10% to a boat broker who actively spends months showing people your boat, hosting online advertisements, driving around talking to people, talking on the phone and in person and being there for a survey etc. So 10% seems to be a bit out of wack to me for something as automated as this (unless your hosting videos as NFTs which would be higher storage and bandwidth costs over the long term). I would support higher fees if there was associated marketing, but with platforms like Lensy I am yet to see any platform promotion and the platform sits there with a fraction of its potential being utilized. Stock photography sites claim higher % fees as they control the client base (if you want to sell you have to be on the site); but at the moment it seems one has to bring their own buyers to the site as well. Don't take this the wrong way; I am keen to see sites like this and Lensy succeed; but they need exposure somehow.
