Hey @invideoio and @contra, stop using small creators to farm free marketing data while running what looks like a total engagement scam.
Your #invideocontrachallenge promises an $11K prize pool and explicit access to a Max plan upgrade. I did my part. I submitted my workspace ID days ago. Contra even went ahead and featured my post publicly on the platform to boost their own metrics.
But behind the scenes? Total fraud.
You locked me out of the AI editing tools. You ghosted every single support ticket. And when the October 12 deadline is hours away, your garbage AI chatbot "Eva" sends me multiple automated emails telling me to go to the subscription page and PAY out of pocket for the tools you explicitly promised for free.
Are you seriously using a community challenge to bait-and-switch new users into forced paid upgrades?
This is disgraceful behavior. You are deliberately freezing out starter profiles and technical talent because you only care about corporate optics and ultra-well-known creators with big follower counts. Talent isn't measured by a follower count 🪵✨.
I am not filling out another useless form. I am not talking to another broken AI bot. A HUMAN community manager needs to wake up, check your support inbox, and manually unlock my Workspace ID right now. Stop hiding and fix my account.

Thank you for the info. I was just starting and now I will reconsider.

Exactly why I posted this. New creators shouldn't face an invisible wall right out of the gate while the platform uses our content for engagement. They are missing out on incredible raw talent by forcing people into broken AI loops. Appreciate you standing with me on this

Is there a better website we can use?

Yes! Platforms like Bento are great for portfolios, and tools like CapCut or Runway Gen 2 offer solid AI video tools without these broken contest loops. We don't need to depend on platforms that ghost us, our skills transfer anywhere. Appreciate you asking!
