It is just another tactic by Oleg and his cronies to cheapen the market and win by price wars, driving down to levels that correlate to practically free. I would avoid this agency like the plague. I never did upload my video there and I am thankful I didn't. Now that I am no longer with them I can speak more freely about how my experience with them have concluded what kind of shady practices they inject into their business to clobber the micro stock market into a penny market. I hope they fail and close doors soon.

Is the title of this thread correct, i.e. SS?

Fair enough, but the thread title says Shutterstock.

Beats me why not just delete your portfolio?  Why put up with this plain insult?

You will feel better when your work is no longer devalued by those who don't care about you or your work :)

I'll give Fotolia some time to fix this nonsense.  Everybody makes mistakes and learn from it, hopefully.

Fotolia makes mistakes after mistakes after mistakes after mistake and usually on purpose.

YOU'RE the reason idiotic agencies like Fotolia thrive and get away with
their tactics. You later stated: "I'll give Fotolia some time to fix this nonsense." WHY?! Do you really think your whinning is going to pull the Fotolia Pirate Ship around? PULL NOW. Everybody! Don't support an agency that doesn't fairly support its contributors. Period.

Fotolia has been pretty good.  I changed the setting to not allow sub sales on video clips now.   Let's see what happens.

In case some of your accounts are still experiencing the bug that switched
you to opt in, the switch to opt out and in has been added back into your
profile settings here:  https://us.fotolia.com/Member/Modify/Contributor

As a reminder, new subscriptions do not allow members to download videos.
The only exceptions are with subscriptions that are grandfathered in from
earlier purchases and some corporate subscriptions at premium rates.

Thanks,

Are you opted out and still experiencing issues?  I've not heard of anyone with this issue still but posted the information just in case.  Please write me directly if you are having trouble.

I am sorry, you are not looking like a verified agency representative, I will take my chances with the regular support channels.
