So the worse an agency treats you the more you will do marketing for them.

If you don't like them for whatever reason, you can feel free to share why not as well.

The same person posting the same news in different threads is regarded as spamming. I have shared in great detail both on msg and in my blog why I don't like Yay. They are unscrupulous.
unscrupulousA new word for me, googling it i think it goes for most agencies.Let's give them the benefit of "new administration" before judging them.

We will share commissions on a 50/50 basis. Pricing for video single sales, will be as follows: SD: $49 HD: $59 4K: $149
Right now the big question is: "Is this really serious?"
First of all for some reason they are trying to spin that they are newly formed. Yayimages is not newly formed, they have been around at least 4 years if not longer. 4 years is by no stretch of the imagination newly formed.

They still owe me money from 12 years ago...
As I am considering uploading.
You need to apply for submitting videos (they don't sell them to the public yet). I understand that they are likely to take some appropriate editorial images and videos but it might be on a contributor by contributor basis depending on what they think might be in demand. Steve
