only for video sales, images stay same as in first mail

So the protest from video content creators worked here is an update SS just shared about levels:

Illustration of shutterstock's incompetency.

and with new corrected email it's even harder to go to level 5 for videos. lol

we will probably receive new 3rd correction email with 501 instead of 5001 for level 5.

The video content creators may have protested but they did nothing to change SS' new payment model. SS admitted on their forum that they made some mistakes in the first e-mail that was sent regarding video commissions.

I hope they might just rethink the January 1st reset as that is manifestly unfair even for this industry the obvious thing to do is have a rolling 12 months. I think they are desperately worried about paying to keep their palatial accomodation and fat salaries though.
