The flaws of Fullscreen:
Hello everyone, there are many opinions on Fullscreen, but as someone who's been with them for soon 2 years (and doesn't wish for that contract to be renewed) I want to tell you the flaws, that I feel the network has.
Theese are the things, that has led me to want to sign with a different network.
Under average CPM's:
As expected from such a large network, not enough ads can be sold to give everyone a high CPM. My CPM has averaged about 4,5.
Low splits: I know this isn't the case for everyone, but for most smaller/medium sized channels it is impossible to go over a 70/30 gross split with Fullscreen. The highest they would offer me was an 80/20 and a contract renewal.
Gorilla campaigns:
They require that you make a video, stating an opinion that may not be yours. It is the only way to see Fullscreen CPM's over other networks, and it requires you to sell out.
Payments:
Many networks choose to delay the end-month payment with about a week or two, to make sure everything is in place. But Fullscreen delays it with a full month, meaning that you earn your money from January, at the end of February.

The benefits of Fullscreen:
Now I've talked about all the bad things I have to say, I must praise them on a few things.
A network you can trust:You can trust Fullscreen, meaning that they actually care about their partners. They own all the copyrights to their music library, and their support team doesn't try to decieve you. They will listen to your requests, and they will not pull an ATV and go against their contract with you.
The Dashboard:
Fullscreen has one of the most comprehensive Dashboards out there, and even though it is a few days behind, the information is easily accessible.

Final words:
It's not up to me whether you should sign with Fullscreen or not, personally I'm stuck in this contract untill Jan 1, 2014. However they took me in while I was a nobody, and even though I deserve a better contract now, I would have never gotten here was it not for Yeousch/Fullscreen.
Should you sign with them? that's up to you, but if you're a gamer networks such as Union for Gamers offers a solid contract with 90/10 and a higher CPM. I don't know enough networks to recommend anything, but check this forum out before signing a contract with FS.

...... you're right, large networks are not good when selling ads.... I prefer small but selective networks....
so sad....
