Phasing out Price Surges
For long we've promised to launch sustainable initiatives leading to elimination of Price Surges without jeopardizing delivery times. Now we're there.
As of now, two new features are in place and available to all users. This includes the Multi Client, and Earning Accelerators. Both affect three core metrics:
Increase credit earnings
Speed-up delivery times
Reduce Price Surges
What we have done as of today's launch is:
Price Surge for views fully eliminated, for all Credits earned or bought after today's launch.
Price Surges for likes, subscribers, and comments reduced by 50%, for all Credits earned or bought after today's launch.
For more than 85% of users owning Credits earned or bought before today's launch, Price Surge for views is fully eliminated.
For the remaining, less than 15% of users, owning Credits earned or bought before today's launch (now known as "Tokens") we've started reducing the Price Surge for views, increasing buying power by almost 60%, and with more steps to follow soonest, until we are fully there.
Price Surges still exist for likes, subscribers, and comments, but at the same time, earning accelerators are activated to increase Credit earnings significantly. We thereby expect to increase supply, which again leads to reduced Price Surges. Initially, earning accelerators are set at the same values as Price Surges for free users, but both Price Surges and earning accelerators will be adjusted continuously to balance supply and demand.
