That is not the point. The point is that e.g. SS may be forced to adjust their prices/royalties in order to stay competitive and then you'll lose big time. Don't do anything to undercut the market leaders, because when they'll 'undercut' you it will be game over.
I'll repeat, if the garbage sites went out of business or were forced to raise their prices/royalties, video producers would gain the most. If you don't help the garbage sites grow their collections, they would have to do something positive for the contributors. That is elementary.
Pardon me, but this kind of logic that says "hey lets play nice with the big guys" ,i never understood.
And its s bit contradictive as well.So you are saying that big companies tend to be more "ethical" towards their contributors when there is little to no competition,and harsh cruel and unfair when there is more competiton?
Anyway i dont want to get too political about it,but after SS (which mostly sucks for me for various reasons- but makes sales at least- ) and p5 (which happens to be stellar) i find myself uploading to ME (waiting to see how it goes,i have mixed feelings about this one and wouldn't bother if it wasn't for the setting your own price rule and 50% cut) and i am also uploading to clipcanvas.
I will propably check revostock and maybe depositphotos next year and upload a very small and 'safe" portion of my collection there to test the waters.
