why's my model listed as "free in subscription", when i'm not participating in the 'maximize your earnings' program?
the setting is turned off, yet it says my model is 'premium' and 'free in subscription'.
Same here, many of my models are listed as participating in subscription even if i have all those "maximize your earnings" options turned off. I have sent inquiry to support a month ago, but never got reply. This place feels so broken and abandoned that i barely pay attention to those things anymore.
There are two limitations to the subscription model (which i've learned the hard way from previous experiences), one being the long-term devaluation of a creator's portfolio, since everything you've ever created is 'out there' to download, there's really no reason to buy from the creator directly, so if at any date you decide to start selling on your own website, there's really no point to buy anything that is available on the internet for free, all thanks to the second limitation: piracy. I can't tell you the number of DMCA notices i've filed in the past to combat piracy. Some i had to write and present in languages I don't even speak, to get any reaction from the hosting providers, who'll make you go through hoops to prove ownership of your own work. I've had threats made against me in the past because of this, and there's no way to deal with it since the market cannot file DMCA on your behalf, and the number of violators is too many.
But again, in a field being eaten away by AI kicking and screaming, it makes sense to cash out fast and hard before the inevitable collapse.
oh man wtf i see a asset says subscription and then i got subscription and now it doesnt have it .... omg the seller shut if off literally today? ugh
oh and like it still says it but i cant get it
Subscription models are the death of 3D art. Buyers might think it’s a great deal because they get models for 5 cents, but have you ever stopped to consider how much time actually goes into creating just one model? On top of that, preparing assets for sale takes weeks of work. And yet, you expect to get all this effort for pennies?
I am calling on all 3D artists and creators: turn off this insult disguised as "Maximize Earnings" What increased exactly? We aren't selling fast food here! We are producing complex, laborious work, and CGTrader managed to devalue all of it in a single day.
It's time to stand up for our labor. Disable subscription features now!
my model too listed as "free in subscription", when i'm not participating.
the setting is turned off, yet it says my model is 'premium' and 'free in subscription'.
A solution needs to be found for this.
They already sell the models very cheaply here, and we're left with almost nothing.
i think everbody must leave from subscription program
How can I disable CGTrader's subscription system, where our models are sold for pennies?
If you don't want your models to be included in CGTrader's Subscription and other alternative compensation programs, you can disable them here:
My Sales → Discounts
Uncheck “Select all”.
Make sure “Sell my models for equity, custom enterprise deals, revenue share, Subscription and other alternative compensation methods” is unchecked.
If you also don't want CGTrader to sell your models through third-party platforms, uncheck “Sell my models on other platforms via CGTrader partnerships” as well.
Save the changes if required.
This option is enabled by default, and CGTrader has placed it under My Sales → Discounts, which makes it surprisingly difficult to find.
I hope this helps other 3D artists who don't want their work included in the Subscription program without explicitly choosing to participate.
