Canva / Re: Notice of violation emails
« on: March 23, 2024, 04:48 »
I've also received these emails and the reason are so stupid !! It's certainly an AI bot who is thinking instead of a Canva team member, the humanity is getting everyday so far away from this world ...

Adobe Stock / Re: 2023 Adobe Stock contributor bonus plan details
« on: February 23, 2024, 10:13 »
Good news again but my last year bonus plan is already finished, I can't edit any photos in Lightroom right now, does I need to wait the next bonus code to work again ? Im confused.

The new code should already be there, if you qualified.
Im qualified but the code is I guess the one from last year, I have the blue bar but it's talking about the doanload in 2022 ...

EDIT : I finally exchanged the code and now the bonus plan seems to be validated, as the blue bar appear all the time I was thinking it was the one of last year.
Thank you !!

Thanks to all.
I sent an email yesterday and they replied me i have 895$ unpaid and beware me to be careful to follow monthly earnings because total earnings are not displayed on the site, but why ?????
I stopped to upload to Istock many years ago when they cut the earnings, so I never cared about the taxes information ...
They don't precise me if they intend to pay me and when  :D :D

I just discover today that I forgot to update the tax information and I see no paiement in my paypal account for a long time, i guess maybe 3 years.
I just updated the tax information today but in the site I don't know how to consult my total royalties amount not paid and how to know when they will send me all the income !!
Does someone had a similar experience with them ?

What a so nice news again !
So definitely in microstock there is only one way evolution : cut, cut and cut, we never had a raise in 15 years, never a good news, only deception after deception.

That's at last the great news we were waiting for ! Thanks !
Waiting for the blue banner I hope before the 21 Feb  :D

Adobe is growing thanks to the contributors, and in return become more stingy than ever, I've decided to be stingy too, I will not buy any adobe programs to feed the beast .

I have a free suscription from last year running until the 21 February 2021, I have the blue bar with the code and when im trying to run the new code it says that it has been already exchanged ! Very confused.

Ah ok I understand now, it's from last year and Adobe is not intending to renew for the contributors, so sad ... Ok back to other platform.

Alamy.com / Re: Opting out of China in distribution scheme?
« on: January 09, 2023, 22:54 »
The Alamy team opted out for me in September for Novel use, and China + Russian distribution.
As I can see today i still have sales for 0.01$ to China.
It's an insult to all contributors and to the world of photography.
I've just sent an email today to ask for explanations.
If nothing is done Im going to close my account of this joking site.

Before I used to threatening the owner of this site by sending 4 or 5 emails each time i wanted my payout, I wrote he will have law pursuit if he refuse to send the money, at the end he always sent the money.
Actually he stopped to answer to anyone and keep the money, we can't delete any photos, anything.
How we can do to stop this thief ??? Nothing and nobody can put him in jail ? Why ?

123RF / Re: If you have work on 123RF PLEASE READ
« on: October 09, 2022, 03:37 »
Last night I've deleted my 7000+ photos on the site, I used a mouse autoclick application so it was painless, the impossibility to select more than 20 photos at a time is already a proof of disrespect for the contributor.
I made a useful gesture for myself because some years ago I gained around 120$/month on 123RF and now it's 120$/year. Giving the work of photographers who are the co-workers for free without any consentement is a totally lack of respect, everyone should quit these gangsters agencies.

I've sent an email yesterday, they replied that they're aware of the problem and they proposed me to opt out now for me with China and Novel use. I've checked the site and it's done.

How can we arrive to a such absurd situation and a so disrespect of people ???

Ok,
I sent a message to the support team using the contact form of the site, i hope it's the best way to reach someone at the team, if the team is not a stupid AI or other Zuckerberg entity (thanks to Roger Waters).

Any luck?
Nothing happened

Bigstock.com / W-8BEN form never been reviewed
« on: June 17, 2021, 07:03 »
I've sent many times a new W-8BEN form as requested on the website and it has never been reviewed, I've got no email, nothing, usually it takes 2 days for approval.
What happen with this site ? I've 100$ to withdraw and I don't want 30% taxes because of their inaction.

Shutterstock.com / Re: Reactivated Images Missing?
« on: December 06, 2020, 04:17 »
I have 4500+ images on Shutterstock
I've opted out on 1st June
As my actual low income doesn't permit me to stay opt out i've decided to opt on again in October, actually I have 0 images online in my portfolio, I've tried to upload 16 new photos and they are now online, only 4500+ are missing !!
I've also asked to Shutterstock about the glitch and I had the same answer as you.
Maybe it's not a glitch and only a punishment to those who opted out ...who knows ?

So when you disable, are the files deleted? My portfolio now shows 0 files. Not that I care if they're deleted. Just curious.

I guess not, it can takes also many hours for the files appear again, i just hope tomorrow i can turn it off again.

Yes. My portfolio count went down in fits and starts and finally reached zero. I also saw that when the count on the screen you showed was one number, if you clicked on the portfolio link right there it'd show a different number.

It'll all go to zero shortly

Ok, i've understood too late and opt in to check if something change, now i can't opt out again  :-[, i hope i can do it very soon .

There's something strange, i've opt out for 7000+ photos and 500+ video selling, when i'm consulting my dashboard I can see now there is still 970 photos in my portfolio, that's means nothing !!!!
Contributors who have opted out, do you encountering the same issue ?
