No wonder why this summer seemed slower than normal   

My classic $28 EL sales are still 15-20% of my single & other download column totals each month.  Hurray for those... it's the only thing that helps with the diminishing returns. 

Just another way in which they've quietly and indirectly cut royalties. And there will be more.

How? They make $52 dollar on an EL, they make cents on a sub

All kinds of ways but the few that come to mind are cuts in SOD commission or cuts in pricing that lead to less commission, cuts on those pennies (say, .38 cents gets cut to .33 cents), video commissions (which recently took a hit), OD cuts from, say, $2.85 to $2.00, etc. Lot's of ways left to carve off the meat.

nO, I understood that he meant the changing of the EL licence frm 250k to 500k was a way to cut royalties. I dont see how

Apart from a general lack of ELs right accross the board actually. There are some things I find rather strange and I am far from alone in this.
How can it be such differences, from one day to another? the differences in sales are just unbelievable from day to day, it can be $.100 one day and the next. $. 15. just a very strange pattern.
In the mornings, sales can be raining down from heaven and then suddenly it stops dead in its tracks and nothing for four, five hours. This doen't make any sense.
Sure, nothing makes sense in micro I know that but this is an ongoing pattern for month's on end.
