Its not the usual tons of bugs and glitches we are seeing at SS right now I spoke to somebody with 100% insight of this and he said thousands of ports are affected with either zero or really low earnings?? wouldnt say what it was though! just saying!

Now I dont want any ghost buster coming along with the same bunch of crap because I am just forwarding some info I got hold of.

I must be in the 'really low' group, and yesterday and today have totally tanked - down by about 75% over the usual day. Did your friend give any insight as to when we might expect this to be fixed?

Same here!

Then I guess misery loves company - I am glad to know I'm not alone!

I keep expecting something to be fixed and trigger the sales again but, at the moment, there are no signs of a reprieve. I can't see any obvious bugs, like missing keywords that have been reported by other contributors recently, and I'm praying this isn't some sort of new norm.

I know sales patterns have changed a lot over the last 18-24 months, but this is suddenly very poor, even by my adjusted expectations.

Well there a million bugs and glitches but this time around they dont have an effect on certain portfolios  not in terms of buyers searching or buying images, hell I know one guy with 60000 images and he's got two zero days in a row!!  he is seriously thinking of throwing it the towel.

since they killed best match i stop growing despite my last upload are much better than the photos i sell regularly.
simply i sell photo who have good position in popular tabs.
new photos sales , i mean last 3 4 months accounts for 1 2% of monthly earning. i'm still in line with last year march, but i cannot grow. nothing.
with the crap of thousand files uploaded everyday, any mentally safe customer will browse through the new tab, to find a file interesting, and that matches the keyword searched, in the middle of a sea of snapshots.

for example isotck is constantly growing, despite the 0,15 commission, it grows sale and most of all it sells mostly new files.
if i search for statistic of view most of files uploaded in the last months are viewed and bought.
adobe is in the middle.

ss messed everything.

yes what surprise me is the totally lack of el and big sale since january....i still have many 2,85 dollar this month, more than ferbruary. today 5 download , appalling day. only sub so far.
also adobe seems to have forgot big sale...i was used to have many 2,50 dollar and 7,50....recently only 0,29 sales....

you know what i think? i think that all those free website ar putting the last nail in the coffin.
they have millions already of download...mostly are download stolen from micro stock. why i should pay 300 dollar for an extended license if i can find the photo i need for free?

not will be curios to see the next financial result of ss.

You might be right?? but I have another angle to all these people in Ukraine, the east-countries, the phillipines ( no offence to anyone) $10 a day is a lot of money and for that they will upload like crazy I mean upload like mad and thats where a lot of money is going, then they have to satisfy the "factories" or else they pull out millions of shots.....the single sort of contributor like us, well we are pretty much expendible. :-\

In other words, if you work hard, success is no surprise?

Are you feeling entitled to earn more than those hard working contributors from "Ukraine, east-countries and the Philippines"?
What keeps you from uploading "like crazy" or uploading "like mad" to have "a lot of money" going your way?

It depends what you mean by "hardworking" and "success." If you mean having a friend who'll approve your 100 identical photos or vectors in order to push everyone else off the "newest" page, or that you figured out ways to game the systemlike stuffing 30 identical keywords into the title and 50 into the keyword sections until the rest of us figure out what you're doing and complain for months before SS will take any action

and you're thrilled with the $5 per day you make until your port is closed or the rules are enforced

well, then,I guess that's your definition of "hardworking" and "successful."

I see a number of very talented photographers and illustrators from the above countries who do great work and follow the rules, and their success is well-earned. Keyword-stuffers, newest-flooders and others who make the search for quality images at Shutterstock a PITA...not so much.

No, that's not my definition of "hard working", since uploading the same photo multiple times is NOT hard working. Where is that coming from?
Besides, I sincerely doubt people can make money with these tactics. So, this is not what I call "success".

I am talking about the same very talented and hard working photographers you are also referring at.

Even more, if $10/day is "a lot of money" for "them", why would they "upload like crazy", when they could be satisfied with a quality small size port able to generate those $10/day. That's easy! Why would they struggle to work harder once they already achieved a "lot of money"/day?

I would rather think the opposite: those who don't consider $10/day a "lot of money" would be incentivised to "upload like crazy".

Why would the "cheating" you are talking about be specific only to those living in countries where $10/day means a "lot of money"?

We have had this discussion before and nobody took any offence right, what happens is that, well remember the guy with thousands of images of weed, pot?? all the same but the camera was moved an inch or two. That happens a lot. Just the other week I saw about 20 pictures of a peeled orange and they were almost identical, then a peeled banana almost identical!
Of course one could argue thats the fault of the reviewer for letting them all through but there you go. This happens a lot!  that is not hard work thats gaming the system and as "shelma" said then some pal or something is accepting the lot!

As I said in the post before yours, it is far fetched to assume that this type of cheating is specific to countries where $10/day means "a lot of money".

Why would you say that?

He said it because its true but no one will accept that.

Look at all the cheats that get found and they generally come from the usual suspects

I don't know how it affects the microstock business, but I know what it means for me. Starting tomorrow I'll stop drawing them stupid oranges.

This is ridiculous. No different than the famous "sh*thole countries" statement from a famous moron.

I can give you many examples of spamers with names like Jeremy Nathan, etc.
Or maybe such anglo-saxon names are part of your "usual suspects" list? If so, I doubt that likes of Jeremy Nathan would consider $10/day "a lot of money"

Youre right actually! I can also give you some famous names of absolutely legendery spammers, Shutterstock, Getty, Adobe, Fotolia and to give you the biggest spammer of the lot: OBAMA!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Typical hysterical reaction who said anything about shithole countries or anglos?

The spammers as I said "generally"  come from the usual suspects ~ now which country did you have in mind?

Most of the spammers I've seen reported tend to be Russian, Ukrainian or SE Asian.

That of course does not preclude spammers from other countries  ::)

Only if you find logic hysterical  ;)

Because you still fail to prove the link between spamers and the $10/day "is a lot of money" statement.
Shouldn't you have also seen spamers from other parts of the world, then? Let's say from Africa or South America?

What you expressed here is only your biased opinion and a bogus explanation with no facts to back it up.

if you live in a country where with 500 600 dollar you earn 4 times what a doctor right now tale in public hospital you have an incentive of spamming especially if you are not talented. it takes very little to shot still life of food over a wooden background, spam with wrong keyword and fuck up all search database. it's what many are doing in russia or ukraine. and it's easy to check this...look for food background wooden top view search..you will find 95% are from this country.
spamming and producing thousand of files is pretty easy and you have an incentives to do this.

If it it is true, what is the link between "$10/day is a lot of money" (aka poverty) and spamming?

It could well be the use non-latin alphabets, from what I know, or preference for vodka, or many other similar "reasons".

since they killed best match i stop growing despite my last upload are much better than the photos i sell regularly.
simply i sell photo who have good position in popular tabs.
new photos sales , i mean last 3 4 months accounts for 1 2% of monthly earning. i'm still in line with last year march, but i cannot grow. nothing.

i agree. they have an incentive to upload like crazy....just to earn 20 dollar a day....you know is 580 gryvna right now in kiev....you know how much cost right now a ride in taxi in the center of kiev?
35 gryvna...a pizza? 80 gryvna....packet of cigarette? 28 gryvna....so with 580 gryvna you can do pretty lot of stuff while in any western country you cant' live.
so spamming and uploading thousand of similar files , can produce 20 dollar? let's do it...my friend do it?...so do i.....that's why there are literally thousand of producers from this country.

I'm pretty certain that prices are much lower in Kenya. If low prices are the reason for spamming, where are the Kenyan spammers? Or Ethiopian spammers, etc.

There is nothing abnormal to have thousands of producers from a country with 45m people, because it is not abnormal to have thousands of producers from, let's say Spain, or France, etc

Besides, it is fair to assume that a massive majority of these thousands of producers are talented and hard working. Unfortunately for you it means tough competition. You better raise up your game, instead of blaming a whole country for your failure.

Lets not overlook the "fact" that Ukraine has the most "beautiful" women in the world. All too willing to be models for a fraction of the cost in London, Paris, Milan, etc
