Title: What do you think about FT Abonnement policis
Post by: gustyx on September 10, 2008, 10:47

I am really astonished as I got for a Large 0,31 Credits (normally got 1,3) because it's an abonnement download – thats ridiculous. Think about to leave FT because of this - whats your opinion in that case? ???

What is the most annoying is that the regular sales are all S or M and all the bloody subscriptions are L.

Thanks for the translation :)

I would have to agree - no contributors really like subscriptions.  They benefit the agencies much more than us. 

But unfortunately they seem to have become a fact of life.  Not really any way to avoid them, except going exclusive with istock, whose subscription plan is more equitable.

I have been happy to see the way contributors have banded together to at least force the agencies to give us better returns on the subscription rates than were originally proposed.

I sold over 230 subs. sales. I hate them. If they at least were countin 1:1 in ranking, not 1:4.

So I guess what we're all in agreement on is:

Subscription = sucks (in any language)
