How much do you earn-  percentage or $ for a download at Videblocks / graphicstock?
I do not understand how that is working? Unlimited downloads. What the ... happy day..

Video blocks has two portions one a subscription side where they own the rights to the videos and the other where artists can upload their videos and get paid nearly 100% (minus paypal fee) of the 49.00.  When you look at their site both the subscription and the artists videos are shown with an icon depicting which one is which.

I don't know about graphicstock

Ah ok, thank you. So videblocks has 115.000 video files. How they get/ won them? Crazy. But good to hear they do not give others files for "free".

They contacted video artists early on and offered to buy certain files for their library.  I don't know if they are still using that method, or are making some of their own now?

Graphicstock buys the rights to sell work for a one off fee, much less even than standard EL, and gets to sell your work forever without paying you anything else.
