For a while there, (This was before the christmas season) there was a thread asking if any indie had been accepted at other than free.
I'm sure things change depending what Bookbub is being offered (by both the indie and the trad market) AND by what people are buying.

I'm sure the authors feel as if Bookbub is making it difficult, but I can assure you that my experience is the same a Blossom's--I get Bookbub emails every day, and *at least* 50% of the books included in the emails are indie.
I think authors need to step out of the author forums and talk to readers. (I'm not including you in that statement--you obviously are the exception) I used to read author forums regularly, and I stopped because too many authors were acting (IMHO) like spoiled children, and it was making me not want to read any of them. They crawl inside their own heads and bounce off of each other, and when an actual *reader* gives feedback, it's ignored.
Sorry for the rant...that just pushed one of my buttons.
