The buyer must have paid $0,75 per credit. Remember that there was recently a 25% discount

So, oh great business guru , the majority have had negative experiences? Link please?

I preferred you when you used your account here to brag about how great you are, how much money you made and what car you drive.
Trying to get involved in debate is just making you look silly.

So, they sent me a coupon for 15% off any bundle of 50 credits or more. I just laughed. Any takers?q

You could reply and ask them for a 85% discount, because anything less is not sustainable...

We got one here at my office, too. Suffice it to say my boss isn't interested. With no input from me, even.

Oh my ... Disturbing image. And funny, too. If only because it is such an accurate picture of the shafting.

"Shafting". ROFL. Nice double entendre. Well-played!

What are the royalties?
For dowloads here at iStockphoto, the royalties will range from 22, 24, 26, 28 & 30%.

What's that... wasn't 25-30-35-40-45% for exclusive downloads

The first numbers are the new Vetta royalty percentages. They put Vetta prices up on Monday and changed Vetta percentages the same day. Other royalties are unchanged until January 2011

Thank you

^ True, I didn't even notice

Just noticed I will be down to 15% commission for video on istock. Uploading there has been difficult at times, some of my files were corrupted, reviews can take 2 months and my sales are nowhere near as good as Pond5 who pay me 50% commission. Looks like I will have to start deleting my portfolio, such a shame but I can't put up with a measly 15%.

Why are people high-fiving others on flicker for having one of these 'award ribbons'?

From your link, it looks like anybody can download and use the award ribbon logos and tag line. And to think, at one time, not so long ago, I thought it meant something special to be deemed one of their artists.

I can just imagine seeing this on web page after web page of graphic software application presets 'art' (custom shapes - heavily beveled, outer glow, drop shadow reflection, preset texture, etc).

I just became a diamond contributor at Istock (a few minutes ago).
I knew this would happen somewhere in Autumn, and I was looking forward to this milestone for months.
Now why am I not celebrating

Sympathy. Hope the next three months are very good for you, though it's cold comfort.
Congratulations on the achievement, anyway.
