Title: Pond5 membership program is a disaster for contributors.
Post by: helloitsme on May 22, 2016, 09:44
I think Pond5 is making less money overall with the membership program too.  They should get rid of it.  No contributor should participate in that either.  It's a simple math.  If you surrender your precious video clips to that program, you are giving your HD and 4k clips for less than $14 each.  That's horrendous.

If they are making more money with the membership program, they don't.

Slightly off topic but I have to share this.

Seems I priced some of my photos the same price as my videos by accident. So today I got a photo sale at P5 for 69$. :)
