Same here - I'm not complaining as sales continure to be steady.

I was wondering the same. Let's hope they continue their business. StockXpert/JIU/Photos earnings are still steady.

IS reported a figure of 900K images 'donated' but I'd imagine that's unlikely to impress JIU/PC customers who could lose over 3M from the existing collection. Like Lisa, there's no way out of principle that I'd be signing up for JUI/PC subscriptions via IS.

My sales have rising steadily for the last 4 months at StockXpert, almost back to their peak, so I too hope that they just leave it well alone. Talk of the 'partnership' has gone very quiet at IS so maybe they have finally seen sense at Getty and, having already postponed it for 3 months, will eventually drop it completely. The CV issue alone would be difficult to overcome.

StockXpert is generating the same amount of money for me. It would be a real shame if they close it.

I look at my iStok port an see that in last month of 40 uploaded images only 2 of them has DL from iStock site, others not one at all but amount 100 view ratio. From my POW I don change anything about "needed quality" even I realize that I have better acceptance ratio this month or two but rare sales of new images.
I am so suspicious that they somehow in search engine put all non exclusives back to have no sales or under 4 dls and after eg 18 or some months that images will be on available on JU or Photos.konj
I think that they want to kick out from they site all nonexclusives in 2 years period.
Even with that kind of dirty game they cant feed YU and PHO... so I think that we will "enjoy" much more months on XP with exsisting YU and PHO sales...
