Seems its happening to a lot of video contributors.

I'd got just under half way to my next level and got a random email.  The dashboard shows it too.

...so fully expect SS to realise and remove all the extra revenue in an adjustment...

And me as well but it doesn't seem to change the revenue coming in. Still giving peanuts for clips and nowhere near what it once was! Blessing us with a level increase does not motivate me to start contributing again.

It appears to be a bug, don't expect any goodwill or motivational suprises from SS.

What SS operations and software with a bug. Unheard of!  ;)

We'll have to wait and see, but maybe they are trying to drive uploads of video? Or maybe it's just a bug? I'd think if they were doing something to promote, they would have included an email saying how nice they are being to everyone. I'm really thinking this is an error, but I don't want to be negative for the benefit of others. I have no video left on SS.

OK never mind: (16 hours ago!)

Im sure the $0.34 clip i just solve at level 3 will make a massive difference.
