Subscription Upgrades...VIP Got Screwed?
So I don't really see many changes in the subscriptions levels, certainly nothing new for current VIP. Now I Premium gets a FREE UPGRADE and the 50% sale last year for Black Friday did not apply to current members? Why should I get VIP again as I see the least value in this level lately... Anyone else, or am I missing something? Mar 10 17 10:27 am Link VIP membership who cares, if I can't make a statement with 15 pictures I don't think I am much of a photographer. I don't really see anything good in the new restrictions in contacting people outside your friends circle. I don't take friends request from anybody but I do reply why to them, as a model from Canada, telling her why I didn't accept her invite. I am not here to make friends but to find other creatives to create art. I say in my bio that I am interested finding people to work with and not a long list of friends. j Mar 10 17 10:56 am Link Jene Youtt wrote: Firstly this isn't really the point of the post, it is more so asking about the Value of VIP as I see Premium and other good deals being offered to everyone EXCEPT current VIP's. Mar 10 17 11:30 am Link Just because someone else got a bonus, that doesn't mean that I got screwed.

Mar 10 17 12:45 pm Link This is a non issue. The only people that got screwed are the Basic Members which are the very core of the site. Just as many Legacy Members are saying that they got screwed because they didn't get more image slots when everyone else did. That's just silly. They didn't complain on the two other occasions that they did get an upgrade in how many portfolio images they can have when no one else did. Unless of course they payed for it. In the end Legacy Members were pretty much left alone and always have been. How the hell is that getting screwed? Even so, just like you, many of them are bitching about it. What would I do with 100+ image slots anyway? As it is I might only shoot one photo every year or two that I'm really proud of. (And those certainly aren't photos of models.) I couldn't fill a hundred slots without looking like some kind of hack so I don't need them. So, the way I see it Basic Members got the royal shaft and with them the entire community will be sent straight to the crapper. No, you weren't screwed. You just feel entitled because of what someone else got. Mar 10 17 09:58 pm Link Certainly not a General Industry issue, bitching and moaning belongs in the Site Related fora.

Mar 11 17 08:33 am Link If I'm reading the changes correctly, the big change I see is that basic members will no longer be able to email other members to inquire about working with them, making MM even more useless as a sight to arrange shoots. It seems like one more step into turning MM into a photography-model chat room only. The last three shoots I've done were all models with basic memberships messaging me. I guess that won't be happening anymore. I think MM is making the same sort of mistake that caused many to leave OMP a decade ago. Mar 11 17 08:50 am Link Don't worry I feel VIP members, those that pay the most receive nothing. That seems like a slap in the face . That might be all the evidence a MM member needs to show how they really feel about VIPs. I have been one for 7 years, not sure there is any value to it now.

It brings those folks to your site and I have received a number of offers from that approach.

There is a lot of broke people who can't afford a premium membership to just message to potential new talents. I had a basic membership and I had at least 5 messages that I could send a day, now I can't. What is going on with the new updates. Yesterday it seemed like we could send 10 messages per day and TODAY none. Mar 15 17 04:56 pm Link First Right Productions wrote: No one said you can't. They just need to be your friends first.
