Correct me if I’m wrong or misreading this information. Okay, even @PerplexedJam owns the right to her stories but the main question is what right do Episode have from what taking other authors stories that they didn’t personally sell their own stories to them?

If they steal your work you can’t do anything about it??

That’s definitely some ”ish” right there.

If any of you haven’t seen it yet… Shaking my head🤦🏽♀️.
I love this community and Episode Interactive App. It gives me so much to escape from and to even be able to express myself into my stories, once again haven’t published yet. I hope they do better.

The TOS are more than fair. Read them again. Also, a lot of authors are posting about the TOS being fine, and how this is a huge misunderstanding.

It’s also not a fixed rate.
At any time the rate could drop drastically and you’d have no control over it. Relying on Episode for your sole/main source of income is definitely risky. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why some authors would go down that route, but there are so many variables that you can’t control yourself that choosing to pursue this full time is a massive gamble.

Just want to say that I’m annoyed they post this on Instagram but forums gets nothing. Annoyed, but not surprised.

Geez. Nothing on the forums and only instagram? This is absurd. The most important platform is the one they created is it not?

I’m done. The mass hysteria around this rankings issue is so unwarranted. It was clear from the start that episode would fix things, and yet people are moaning and groaning that their lives are “over” because of this glitch. It’s barely been a day and a half. Life isn’t over. THINGS WILL BE FIXED. I am so disappointed in a lot of authors, especially some of the biggest ones on Episode right now. I am done reading from these people because they only care about shit when it affects them, and they’ve been complaining for over a day and blaming smaller authors.
What about diversity issues? Nobody raises a fuss over those. But there’s a temporary glitch for less than a full weekend and people absolutely lose their minds. SMH.

agreed
They never make a song and dance about diversity issues and yet when one glitch occurs everyone is acting stupidly. There’s bigger issues to solve and honestly its embarrassing.
Yes we understand you are upset, we do. But there’s no need to act like a pack of wild animals and get all fused about it. IT WILL BE SOLVED. Gosh…
Don’t go blaming smaller authors for “taking your position” YOU DON’T OWN IT! It’s not their fault your stories are going higher in the ranks

In a week (the most) this glitch will be fixed. And the trending section will go back to the same old stories. Let’s just see how fast they will fix it
