My experience too, I get emails wanting me to renew to the highest category of membership. I also get stat's saying I'm in the top 10% , the demographic of my followers etc. occasionally but never won a competition or sold any of my photographs. It was fun for awhile and it's handy to showcase your work and have so called peer reviews awards etc. I have decided to continue as a "free" member while I consider my own website. There are some quite brilliant photographers who are members if you scroll through the site to view their work.

I joined Viewbug some years back, I thought I'd like to enter some of the contests and possibly sell some photos. After a couple of years I got discouraged and stopped entering the contests. Since then (it's been almost three years since I posted anything there) I've gotten at least 2-3 emails a month telling me how great I'm doing and they can't wait to see what else I'm working on. At some point I got an email from someone whose title seemed to be higher on the corp. ladder, so I replied with my concerns. About a week later I got a generic email telling me how I'm a valued participant, the next day I got the exact same email from some other person at Viewbug. I haven't posted ANYTHING in years but the emails continue, I think it's time to designate them as spam/trash.
Many years ago, I intentionally posted a very crappy image of mine. I am now always receiving E-mails from them telling how well I am doing, all kinds of award possibilities, etc, once I upgrade my membership. They just want your membership money.

I've been with Viewbug for a few years now, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere for me. I'm constantly bombarded with promotions to upgrade and improve my chances of winning a contest. Instead they constantly tell me how good I'm doing and how much they appreciate my being a part of Viewbug. Well, if I'm that great, why haven't I won anything?
I haven't seen any cases where they 'sell' my photographs and I don't know how they exist financially, since all the contests are sponsored by 'big name' sponsors. For the most part, I just ignore them.

I've had much the same experience, and I also ignore them.
