So I'm a little disillusioned with the SG Business Model. I've read a couple of blog entries that suggest girls don't get paid for their photos unless selected for Set of The Day.
That doesn't seem right. 90% of the sets aren't gonna be selected because there's only 365 days/yr
Y'all go out and pay photographers, put together the sets and submit them for free ? That's jacked. Oh and SG's are paying members to the site, or at least "Hopefuls" are ... WTF ?
I've no idea how many paying members there are at any 1 time, but at $40.00/yr if there are ten thousand, that's almost half a million bucks a year in revenue.
Seems to me somebody's making bank off ya'll, and their nude pics aren't on the net

SGs don't pay to stay on the site, and Hopefuls get something like one year of free subscription, last I checked. These things may have changed, however, but I don't think they have.
There has been a lot of distrust and annoyance with SG since they changed to the "Hopeful" and "Member Review" scheme awhile back. At the end of the day though, SG is a business. They're at the point where they want to keep their bottom line up.
Best thing to do is to find groups, boards or people you really enjoy talking with/to and focus on the best parts of the site.
