Depositphoto has removed the option of "credits" from their purchasing plans.

They call it "on demand downloads" now, but that's still at higher prices (compared to the "real" subscriptions).

Looks like they've removed the distinction by file size though...

Let's see how that affect royalties...

I'll venture a prediction - they will go down.

Greed after paying millions and pay in advance to get suckers to upload whole collections. Now they have you and it's profit time for the investors. Anybody else watching the poll numbers drop on the results here? They can get all the money now and close, or cut more from us. Not me I'm gone, but other people who stay with these crooks.

Good thing I stopped uploading a while ago...bad that the photos remain in their system. Stop uploading to this crooks already!
