General Stock Discussion / Shutterstock select vs. Shutterstock.

« on: December 05, 2018, 11:20 »

The first link is straight from the contributor pushed as an example on shutter's front page as a 'select provider', so I'm taking the liberty to assume it represents the collection.

Can someone explain to me what justifies the first costing twice as the second? Just curious. Do they seriously expect the customers not to say "wait, what? why should I pay double for this?". Imho if anything the second clip is better stock and has more production value and nuance, but that's just imho... and that "HD included", is it just me, or isn't that bit too much of a cheap trick? Again, will customer not shake their heads on reading that? Even my mom can find some freebie tool to downsize vids.

Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock - $0.08 downloads in Single & Other???

Just what the subject says - got a bunch of those today. WTH?? I was under the impression the lowest royalty is the $0.38 for the subs. (after 10000 tier of course)

General Stock Discussion / Google search engine changes...

« on: September 11, 2014, 04:18 »

It's not a one hell of an important issue, but kinda'o strange. From time to time I waste an hour or more checking out usage of my shots using google image search (to make this easy I use the plugin that creates a clickable camera icon on images). Whenever I have done this I got plenty of results even for average sellers, a ton for the best sellers. Nowadays, almost nothing. Even bestsellers that get 10+ downloads/day get almost no/no results outside of just the stock site itself. Anyone with similar experience?

Hi all, I need to remove / disable or in any way make unavailable few of my images on alamy. Does anyone know a workaround on the 180 day lock-in for this?
