and with new corrected email it's even harder to go to level 5 for videos. lol

we will probably receive new 3rd correction email with 501 instead of 5001 for level 5.

The video content creators may have protested but they did nothing to change SS' new payment model. SS admitted on their forum that they made some mistakes in the first e-mail that was sent regarding video commissions.

Agreed. The odds of them seeing all the backlash and then deciding to completely backtrack on the numbers due to it... all within the space of three hours, is pretty unlikely.

I hope they might just rethink the January 1st reset as that is manifestly unfair even for this industry the obvious thing to do is have a rolling 12 months. I think they are desperately worried about paying to keep their palatial accomodation and fat salaries though.
