I've lost my trust in ReviewStream

Tweet

Over the past year I've been paid 3 times by reviewstream, earning total of $150. I've written a lot of movie and music video reviews for them. I found it especially easy to do music vids - for 200 words each and a music vid being 3 mins long, I could bang out like 10-15 in 1 day. Mind you I ask for the bulk rate not the full rate. Their bulk rate is now 50 cents. I submitted 10 new reviews today and received my pay confirmations only to check my email hours later to find that they took it back out of my reviewstream account cuz they weren't interested in the review in the first place. So why the heck PUBLISH/ACCEPT IT in the first friggin place?!?????? This is exactly the same reason I stopped writing for ehow - enthe site which every writer and their mom worships. Ehow is no angel either, they pull the same crap - Submit a how to article, it gets accepted/published, weeks go by, it makes lots of money, THEN.... THEN.... they decide to take it down because its not good enough. How professional. I don't know about you guys, but I'm the type of person who prefers to know RIGHT AWAY, BEFORE I make a SINGLE CENT, that my work sucks! Instead of being tricked and deceived into believing all is ok because you published it and paid me for it. This sucks because RevStream pays upfront and there's not many sites that do this. Well guess I'll probably have to write music vid reviews for either Associated Content, Bukisa, or start my own blog/domain. Mind you, I wouldn't be submitting for upfront on AC.
