Regarding the monthly coin rewards, our intention from the beginning was never to implement a completely flat reward system. That structure was initially introduced by our developers because it was the standard configuration of the platform at the time and, unfortunately, it could not be customised.
From our perspective, a fixed reward such as 25 coins does not align very naturally with the pricing structure of our platform, where our most popular products follow values such as 20, 40, 60, etc.
Our long term objective has always been to develop a more advanced and intelligent reward system, ideally powered by AI, that can offer personalised coin rewards based on engagement and support of the platform. For example, rewards could vary depending on purchases, subscription length, activity and overall engagement, allowing our most loyal customers to receive more meaningful benefits. This has always been the vision we hoped to build towards.
As for some stories being offered separately as paid content, this is often connected to the fact that we need to negotiate permissions and specific conditions with both the talent, agents and the artists involved in order to make certain content available on the platform.
A typical story usually contains around 25 to 30 images, with very few exceptions, which often works out to approximately 1 to 2 dollars per image. In many situations, the alternative would simply be for the content not to be available at all, as these decisions do not depend exclusively on us.
Working with artists, managers, agencies and talent is not always straightforward, as every individual has their own boundaries, preferences and agreements that we fully respect. For example, Sasha does not allow us to include his models in the Unwrap section of the platform, which is why you rarely see his content featured there.
Ultimately, there is usually a reason behind these decisions, and a large part of our work involves diplomacy, balancing relationships and respecting the wishes of the people who create the content. Because of that, we would always prefer to have the full stories and outtakes available in some form rather than not have the content available at all.
At the same time, we continuously try to maintain a fair balance between separately paid content and subscription based content, so Yummy Plus continues to provide strong value for all subscribers and supporters.
We have also contacted some of the models you suggested and have already organised shoots with a few of them.
Thank you again for your support, positive criticism and for helping us discover such great talent!
