We are getting close to year-end, especially bigger companies needs to handle their tax-writeoffs, employees go on vacation, likely there is more than just 1-2 companies that need to revise their structures etc etc etc

Whatever the reason is congrats to the winners and good to see things are being worked out
Very scary. They are not paying a few content providers over a long period of time and now instead of clearing the debts they are going for payment plans. God forbid they start missing out on affiliates. Or is it only content providers who fell through the cracks?

Pretty lame excuses are abundant here.
