At the start of this January, I decided to ditch Freedom and switched to another network with a 80% revenue share, so I just unlinked my channels from Freedom. Still, I had to wait for another month for the unlinking to take effect. ("Freedom", huh?)
After a month went by (around Feb 5), the channels were finally unlinked, and I proceeded to delete them from my Freedom profile. At this point, I found there was one channel I forgot to unlink, so I had to keep this one in my Freedom profile for another month.
At the start of March, it's scheduled to receive my first earnings from Freedom for December last year's revenue share. To my horror, as it turned out, I received only the earnings from the one channel I forgot to unlink. The earnings from other channels are still shown on my Freedom dashboard, but they just don't pay.
I opened a ticket. The support was responsive, but his answer was basically "I can do nothing about it, and we need to wait for a member of the financial team to check it out". Two weeks later, I still haven't heard anything from "a member of the financial team" or anyone from Freedom.
How about the earnings from January, when my channels were forced to stay in their custody for an extra month? Surprise surprise, the earnings doesn't even show up in my dashboard.
Maybe it's due to the fact that I deleted the channels from my profile. I just trusted them as one of the biggest MCNs out there will pay 60% of what the partners earned, without any fuss. It appears I was quite wrong.
