I've been idle a while on the forums and this may have come up before but I couldn't find anything via the search function so here I ask:

$1.80 for a video sale on SS? What's happening?

Did they introduce some new scheme or big customer discounts?

Any information on this?

Thanks.

It's a question of "What else can they do?"

The SS has to compete with the also-ran sellers. If "We" the supplier stopped supporting the middle and low tier agencies we wouldn't have this problem. I just
sold a clip with SS and received $1.50.

And yes, I practice what I preach. The SS. IS and P5. That's it.

There is no "We" and you can have as many "Ifs" as you want you won't make it so, only the top 5% of contributors have any power and they have been bought. All the other suppliers have to compete with you and for many of them the only way to do that is to supply the lower tier agencies that you don't take part in.

Oh didn’t know that! Off to deactivate my vids, I only have a few, but that’s ridiculous.
