Supply of content is growing geometrically.No individuals nor productions houses can keep up with this race and suppliers growth. It is what it is unfortunately. It is only going to become worse and worse as time goes by. Have you look lately at the quality of unsplash. Amazing stuff for free. Storyblocks Istock Getty and Envato offering ultra cheap footage subs........explanation is quite simple of the course this "business" is heading........

Part of it is due to companies like videoblocks saying "GIVE AWAY YOUR CONTENT FOR PENNIES, AND YOU'll MAKE "LOTS"!". And people believing that, and making their content for virtually free.
