My sales from a portfolio of over 10,000 images have tanked to less than 25% of what they were. Rumors are 123 are being bought out soon. They operate a tiered earnings system.
My gut conclusion, although I don't want to believe it, is that they are reducing their costs by actively lowering everyone's payment level to make the company appear more profitable and more attractive to their potential buyers. Similar to the rumor of SS gearing their search to lower tier images to reduce payments, except in this case there would seem to be a much clearer reason for it.
On current earnings I will drop two, maybe three levels, was level 5.
