I have been wondering about the SS model. It doesn't make sense to me.
They can only make money if people don't download their full allotment each month ($199 a month for 750 downloads being 26 cents a download). Won't people eventually catch on, and just stockpile images for a few months at a time? If you have a certain clientele, it seems like you could do a pretty good job of predicting your needs, and then just pick up individual images at another agency to supplement--at 200 a month, you could pick up a good number of extra images and still save money.
Am I missing something, or will they eventually drop off, as people create a store of images for themselves?
