[Archived - Unequal] Pay to be paid - New update

Posted by “QBL” on May 17, 2023.

@RigsK​ Here is another Question?????????????? Why are not all creator accounts getting this message????????????? All Creators should be notified of this change.... Whether they are signed up to receive cash payments or not!! Whether they have VIP or not...... Because if they make any changes to their accounts in the future they should be able to make a informed decision of what they want to do as creators. What Their Consequences may be if they have to lapse on their VIP Or If they think they may be ready to receive cash... Not all my accounts got Messages... Some of the Creators I know Have Not got messages.. This needs to be addressed ASAP.

Just being honest - as much as I dont want to pay the $100 a month on all my accts- I cant afford to NOT- so I will be paying it because my income far exceeds the $10 vip cost.

I'm not surprised by this... I spent months trying to get my hard-earned money from them. They stopped my account from being able to cash out after years of being able to without vip last year...

I am 68. I don't have time for bull larkey like this. I am not paying $10 and waiting for a month or more (which would make it $20+) to get my little $41.99 out of my current earnings balance... It is under the minimum because they switched my account over to credits only in the middle BEFORE I could have enough to cash out one last time... Without buying their VIP, I will never see that money... They can keep it and buy themselves a book on ethics because they sure need it....

They told me I had to have VIP to get it sent to my paypal despite being able to cash out previously... This is highway robbery and I am VERY disappointed in this company... I will be deleting my account after this. So long and thanks for all the fish...

Sincerely,

Carol

You have to remember since we uploaded all our work to their platform they also have all our textures and mesh files. We all handed them over all our work like it was Christmas morning at Little Ralphies. They were just the Bumpus hounds that snatched the turkey right off the table and walked out the door with it. Gurl Its a Complete NIGHTMARE!! Iam not sure how business law works so Iam not sure how liable Together Labs would be for anything IMVU did before the relaunch. But I know MASA and this is certainly on the top 2 list of No No's

Actually, since I have ALL the textures and mesh files (all 14yrs worth of them), if IMVU decides to take my inventory and add it to another account..I'll just file a DMCA and have them taken down. If that doesn't work then I'll take legal action. But I will be breaking what I can..and hiding what I can't. They won't be making another single cent off me if they force me to have to pay to get my earnings. Plain and simple. This was the final straw for me. They can claim all they want that they own my work...but I'm the one with the textures and mesh files, and I highly doubt that will go over well in court when the whole truth of what they've done over the years comes to light.

@RigsK​  I would like to know the answer to @TheForsakenDead​ question myself.. If we don't carry VIP will our earning turn straight to credits? Or will our cash continue to roll over? I use my earning to pay for my Lupus meds I cant afford to have my cash turn into even one credit. I cant afford to have IMVU dipping into 120 dollars of my medication a year either but here we are..

You cant edit any product that has been derived from. Only ones with zero derives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO YOU CANT BREAK THEM !!!!!!!!! Only thing you can do is hide them. But Like FUTUR said. Anything we have uploaded becomes property of IMVU. So you can break your non derived from products all day and hide the ones that have been derived from. Those are your 2 options.

This is insanity. This won't effect me personally, I'm not grandfathered, so I've had to have VIP since I started creating just to keep my shop visible, but this honestly just seems vindictive and petty. How dare IMVU? That money is ours. We earned it fair and square, how dare you suddenly tell us that we can't access it unless we pay you!!!! I'm not even sure that's legal. I can't fathom what this company is thinking. IMVU is so dead I've moved to selling on Sellfy, Payhip and Etsy and writing novels to make up my lost income - honestly I think I'm just going to keep my strong focus there. IMVU is no longer a viable business option.

This gives me very little confidence in IMVU, if it continues to squeeze the very people that pay its bills. I've seen some shady crap from IMVU over the years, but this is right up there. I honestly don't feel like creating and giving professional content to raise the platform to help us all out, if the people who are running the place are either so broke they fear going under, or they are just purely so greedy that they feel the need to pay shareholders more, at our expense. You already TAX us way more than we charge for our own product sales! SHAME ON YOU IMVU!

Omg.. rly

Posted by “SweetCryssy” on May 16, 2023.

Good point. Break my meshes..which affects other creators who have derived and then thats even less money IMVU would make. And while it may seem like a d!ick thing to do...don't blame me.. blame IMVU.

So then technically those who use the money program would then end up needing vip to create because IMVU is forcing them to to technically leave the grand fathered program but forcing them to get vip in order for them to cash out. Imvu isn’t slick. So those can work for free and keep their grandfathered or forced to get vip to create and get paid. Wow. That’s so sad

Posted by “Zamerya” on May 16, 2023.

Even if it doesn’t include grandfathered accounts, that’s terrible. This is why creators are leaving. Plus, this is probably why they’re having sales, every second. IMVU needs to really open their eyes and make proper changes because that is insane. Quite sad as well! People are leaving IMVU! This is some peoples form of income.

@RigsK​ I’m being very serious when I ask YOU, does any of this even seem logical to you? What legitimate company do you know that makes people PAY in order to be paid. Big corps that would spit, pee,

and step all over yall don’t even do that
