Are non-exclusives seeing any solid growth in subs sales at istock?

Given that the growth was most likely to happen during the first 12 months since introduction last spring plus the enormous growth of the collection in the same period plus the summer break plus the small number of images I uploaded in the last year, I would say I am seeing what I was expecting to see: Subscriptions were growing constantly until about March/April, and are now somewhat flat with a small decline.

Currently my credit sales are at about 10% of the download volume, subscription and partner program about equally sharing the other 90% of downloads. Royalties are about one third coming through each of those three categories.

No. If anything it's a decline.

Subs haven't slowed much over summer, autumn sales will be the real test

Yes, exactly right.  Subs grew for the first few months, as credit sales dropped.  Now credit sales keep dropping, but subs have been level, give or take a dozen or so $ for the whole of 2015.  Thinkstock sales are dropping a lot tho.

Been there for seven years and it's not even worth uploading anymore.

If we look from a different angle, so far, already it has many images uploaded to istock, almost 60 million, maybe they think they do not need more, but no, this is a ridiculous idea of course, but why not?

or, maybe they think they have so many images that enough to ignore contributor's complaints.
