Are they the same company? Just received an invitation to join the later...
Anyone knows them?

Thanks

This is YayMicros streaming service which you can opt out of. I'm opted out of all their schemes. And will drop them all together soon.

I just got the invite so looked into this again. What a total nightmare that streaming POS service is:
https://yayimages.com/pricing?
"

How it works:
When you have a streaming subscription you'll get a link instead of a file that you download. ........Most online services allow you to add links when you're adding an image. If they don't, it's OK to right-click on it and upload it manually. The link is not embedded, and we also let you adjust the size, and how the image is displayed. No forced embedding....

....Free hosting, forever - Even if you stop your subscription
We'll host the images on our server, for free, for ever. If you cancel your subscription all the images you've already streamed will continue showing.

And there’s no limit on use! For less than the price of a latte and a sandwich, you get all the photos you want - for blog posts, emails, sales pages, or weird ecards you send to your brother."

In other words is it streaming? is it f**k. You can just download the image and use it. Even if you don't, there is no "streaming" involved in the sense of a service you pay for on an ongoing basis, they just continue to host the image for you, subscription or not.

Canva (if I spelt it right) did it right they have a $1 one use program.... If yay let link stay live as long as they are active subscribers and made it one link per download then we have something 😊

So what happens to us ( and our already earned commissions) if we simply do not opt into the subscription/streaming con.
Can someone from Yay please guarantee that ALL of our images will be deleted from their servers when they close Yaymicro down on January 1st
