Still not really on board with IMVU changing how people are treated toward getting their money for the products that they make for IMVU.
Right off the bat IMVU is taking a percentage of all the products that we sell, on top of that you have to sign up to VIP in order to get any money that you've earned. If you don't sign up, IMVU just gets to keep all your money for your work.
There isn't any option either for the Developers to have the VIP cost taken from their earnings as well, or to just pay a single 1 time fee to have their payout given to them. It's subscribe to VIP or your basically out.
Thing is there are people like myself who don't process every month, so being charged a monthly fee for something you 'may or may not' do seems a bit excessive. Anyone else have any thoughts on this change by IMVU? I'd love to hear what you have to say regardless if your for or against it.

in fact - they all charge a flat percentage - no processing fees, no subscriptions, no added costs.

yeah, even a flat fee would of been better then a VIP Subscription. Seems a little ... unethical ... to be honest, out of all the brokerage services i use, IMVU is the only one that forces a subscription in order to get the money your owed.

@slance1 Yes I have. It does work. The only thing you can't do anymore is withdraw your earnings without VIP.

Yes that's right, in order to cash out you must have an active VIP subscription. You can buy VIP for just one month.

I’m still upset about it personally. It’s literally the only reason I have VIP now. Otherwise I wouldn’t care to have anything VIP offers. Plus it’s expensive. On top of necessities and other monthly bills… I’m glad that we can still earn money without VIP at the very least, just withdrawing it is another story.
They changed it so that grandfathered creators can earn money without VIP. You just need VIP in order to request a payout. They didn't actually announce this so a lot of people missed it.
From staff:
2. Can grandfathered accounts not linked to VIP accounts still earn cash (but the cash can't be withdrawn without VIP)?
The non-VIP Grandfathered Creator can still set their slider distribution bar to money only, but they cannot request a payout.

Although, I have a fear that they might not allow people to buy annual vip over the phone much longer, because of this post mentioning being able to buy it for a “limited time.” https://help.imvu.com/s/article/How-is-the-Tiered-VIP-Program-different-from-the-Old-VIP-program?language=en_US And that’s a fairly recent post. I hope they just offer annual discounts again… But that post has me concerned.
