Worse, they've proved their lack of judgement in imagining that 100% could be sustainable.

The 100% has always been a lure to fill their gallery and attract customers then incite them to subscribe, their model has always been to sell subscriptions not to have people buy our stuff from the market place !

Now that the market place is probably making enough money by itself they want their share.

I'm not really surprised, from the start Videoblocks was using our content as a way to fill their library with stuff free for them but their business model was to push their (already profitable) content not what was on the market place, hence the 100% they "offered" us...

When their subscribers realize that the "free" stuff included in their subscription is not that great and that all the good stuff is in on the marketplace they don't renew their subscription and start buying on the marketplace then VB does not make enough money to keep the model sustainable for them...

Europe has always been something strange for US inhabitants.

It reminds me of the American guy calling from London asking which underground line he has to take to meet me in Paris ^^

Well, since you can take a train from London to Paris it isn't that strange, is it?
Yes a 3 hour ride in train, not exactly a fast underground commute ;)

No.

I need to understand, what I see on sale on the site is really not exceptional but the barrier to entry seems very high...

Is there any real valid reason or is this some kind of snobbery to make this club seems more select and desirable ?

I'm not speaking for myself but I'm trying to understand, I canceled my application for videos as I refuse to encode my videos in h264 which is not adapted for stock in 2017 and exclusivity is also a big no go...

I can understand the appeal of Stocksy for photo.
But frankly, if your doing video, why on earth should you go exclusive?
Why not putting some to test the water...

I tried to submit an application but 4k videos in prores 422 HQ aren't even recognized... If I have to re-encode them in h264 I don't see a lot of interest in doing so...

I tried to upload some footage but the process seems way over complicated versus the expected potential ROI...
