What kind of site is this, where does the video come from and how much does it pay the authors?

I found many of my videos under "author name" "Videvo" which I have never uploaded either to this site or to freepik
For example:
Videvo: https://www.videvo.net/video/panorama-of-blue-geyser-lake-in-altai-mountains/1031758/#rs=video-box
Shutterstock in my port: https://www.shutterstock.com/ru/video/clip-1028744846-panorama-blue-geyser-lake-altai-mountains-rainy
Just sent some DCMAs. Let's see what they answer.

if you click on the clip it brings you to istock site.....so those are clips that istock sells through videvo....

I believe it is run by an east indian guy wanting to make LOTS of money. Don't recall his name, but believe he has several sites like that.

No, in my case it leads to Vivedo's subscription page, as it is a "Premium" download, just like Freepik, their owner.

The same. For example another my video stolen by "Videvo" https://www.videvo.net/video/lower-multinskoe-lake-in-the-altai-mountains/1049845/#rs=video-box . The link  leads to different types of Vivedo's subscription page.

Wow, the site has Rick Ray's collection, it's a huge editorial collection that worth millions, and you can download it for pennies:

The same for the BlaxBoxGuild collection:

So, upload videos to Videvo?

Hehe, actually I'll most likely subscribe to the site, I produce a lot of documentaries and I need a lot of such editorial clips, as there is no editorials at envato elements, while Storyblocks doesn't have the mentioned editorial collections.

Videvo.net is a website that provides stock video footage and motion graphics. The videos on Videvo come from a combination of user contributions and partnerships with content creators. As for the payment to authors, the specific details are not publicly disclosed on the website.

I can see my files via Blackbox are already there!

Blackbox is a great distribution partner. next year will be the year for video, this year was for learning ai.

If every thing is free.  What is the upside for a contributor?  What is the return per download? 

So far it looks like a reason to avoid Blackbox.

It's kind of like envato elements, where you get $0.02-$0.03 per downloaded video, for 'unlimited downloads'. It seems most of the subscription video sites provide that kind of return.

One "technique" some less then scrupulous "contributors" will use on some of those sites, its create a separate membership and then start downloading their own assets, to inflate their sales, because the "money" is divided up between contributors based on individual_downloads/total_downloads * contributor_revenue_pool. (Reason "contributors" is in quotes, is because sometimes those same people will steal other peoples content and upload as their own as well). Some sites have taken measures to prevent that, others aren't as quick.

I don't agree. On Videvo, the subscription has a limit, and a buyer can download only a few videos with a subscription.
$0.02-$0.03, there are no such prices there.
As I understand it, becoming an author on Videvo is not very easy.

So what? Does anyone upload videos here?
