I think you will find there are different rates of commission that Rendo charges, depending on I presume your volume of sales, or exclusivity etc etc. I've also had a good run as a  freebie creator in a previous incarnation, number 1 freebie volume downloads and was in the top ten for quite some time. The only motivation for creating freebies is the feedback you get from the downloaders and the thought that you are giving something back to the community, very self sacrificing and some might think downright ridiculous. But show me the man who turns down good quality free stuff and I show you insanity.  Oh bugger, I used the C word. Yes the community. If this isn't a community it's just a shop and every gallery submission is just a shop window for one product or another, I'd like to think it is more than that, sort of retrospective to when it started, but I'm probably naive and the artists community days are long gone and we have become just another dog eat dog collection of vendors and purchasers. That is why freestuff matters, no matter whether you think it pointless, a waste of your time etc etc, remember one very important thing, a huge majority of people originally found renderosity by surfing for freestuff, realised they had to join to download it and then spent the next week downloading everything lol...

Freestuff is the Pied Piper .
