MicrostockGroup

For me  it is not going to be big loss but it can be a gain:
1. I already sell images thru StockXpert/Photos.com
2. I got only 130 images on IS
3. I do not sell a lot on IS

It cannot be much worse than that :-)

I'm opted out too. The only point for people that are already there through StockXpert would be that someone finds their images through IS controlled vocabulary, but what's the probability of that Anyway, I would not be happy to get 25 cents for an XL image. Even Crestock offers increase from that price after 100 downloads.

Opted out

That's how I understood it too: Files that did not sell in the last 18 months I think.

I opted out since I have some very good sellers at other sites that don't sell well at IS (< 5 downloads) and I don't want them to be for grabs on photos.com. For the same reason I don't want any photos in the dollar bin. For the rest I'm very happy with IS as to earnings.

I'm out.  But is there a strategy we should play?  Should we add the photos with 0 sales, give them some momentum and take them out of the subs pool?  Many of these are popular photos but they were never given favor by the search engine gods on that particular upload day.

I opted out. Lots of the images that haven't sold in 18 months on Istock are hot sellers on other sites and all are already on Photos.com/JUI through the StockXpert deal anyway so absolutely no point for me to opt-in.

I opted in. Actually, I opt in everything. What is the point of opting out any offer or deal with these agencies. At the moment I agreed to sell my pictures for microstock prices I said goodbye to wise and reasonable thinking anyway.

I'm sitting on the fence just now. Since BM2, old files, even older than 2 years are getting downloads. I dont want to have the same file in both places unless I'm as sure as I can be that the customers are different, so makes sense to have them only on iStock.
I'm wavering about the ones I put into the dollar bin under JJRD's experiment: these have almost all languished without trace, and even those which were getting downloads have slowed down since the prices went up. Conspiracy theorist, moi?

You are not right at all! I am a long time microstock photographer. But, cant we joke sometimes? Whats wrong with you people?

How much more must we hear about how little we make? I think we all know what we are getting. We don't need to be reminded 5x a week. Or at least that's not what I come here to read about.

I do apologize for assuming you were someone else though.  

I've opt out at StockXpert from the beginning. Opt out at IS too.
