Do we have an opt-out on these INCREDIBLY profitable 3$/clip subs ? Or just stop uploading here and go somewhere else ? Thanks ! L.E.

Posted April 15 The Race to the Bottom just got an extreme turbo-boost. Please provide an option to Opt-out. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 Please can you inform all Contributors how this will affect our sales, especially:- 1) What is the revenue generated from the sale of a clip. 2) How many of our clips will be included in this subscription service (will our entire portfolios be included or just specific clips?) 3) Please indicate if there will be an opt out. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 I stopped submitting at other agencies because of these exact low prices you are offering now. I would like an opt-out option! 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 I suggest considering the following options that allow to save quality content market: 1. Make it possible for the author to refuse to sell the video by subscription. 2. Exclude 4K video from the subscription. 3. Share the part of subscription payments from users to authors 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 How will this change affect the Contributors? Will it effect our per clip earnings? I would say to let us decide which clip we want to opt in for this subscription program. Thanks! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for letting us know in the forum. I am trying to understand why would SS launch this subscription plan. Before, costumers who required continuous access to footages would have to pay much more for each content depending on the format. Now you are giving away 10 clips each month in any format for 139 €/month. Pardon my expression but I think you might be shooting yourself in the foot. An opt-out option would be nice. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 15 Announced to customers first before letting contributors know the financial details, would like an opt out and full disclosure to how the subscription would work for contributors. Contributors continuing to be marginalized (ignored) by agencies. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the last few months not one admin has responded to any issues posted by contributors meaning they aren't taking any time checking the forum and only posting notifications like this. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had issue recently with my images being similar etc, i wrote to the SS, one of the contributors tried to explain situation, then we escalated it to the SS team, maybe this way we can reach them? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dearest Kate, would you be so kind to post an opt-out procedure for this kind of subscriptions? Thank you very much. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 Competing with other stocks in dumping, you only promote to an even more accelerated decline in your and our earnings. My offer: you prohibit authors loading their footages in stocks that sell below your prices. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 15 I think an opt out will be required if you are to avoid people turning off their entire footage portfolios. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15 Wasn't the T&C changed a little while ago that said we cannot opt out of these kind of licensing? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
