I am really astonished as I got for a Large 0,31 Credits (normally got 1,3) because it's an abonnement download – thats ridiculous. Think about to leave FT because of this - whats your opinion in that case?

Sorry, I have no idea what Abonnement means...?

abonnement = subscription (in french)

and yes I just had 2 abonnement  - and it sucks... especially for a large file 

What is the most annoying is that the regular sales are all S or M and all the bloody subscriptions are L.

Thanks for the translation

I would have to agree - no contributors really like subscriptions.  They benefit the agencies much more than us. 

But unfortunately they seem to have become a fact of life.  Not really any way to avoid them, except going exclusive with istock, whose subscription plan is more equitable.

I have been happy to see the way contributors have banded together to at least force the agencies to give us better returns on the subscription rates than were originally proposed. 

I sold over 230 subs. sales. I hate them. If they at least were countin 1:1 in ranking, not 1:4.

... and in Dutch

And yes, it sucks  :-(

and in german (but i guess it comes from french) and yeah it sucks!

So I guess what we're all in agreement on is:

Subscription = sucks (in any language)
