Sept 2019, I earned a relatively high $24 on 3,667 images.

Have your sales also collapsed?

Just having a laugh at myself. Yes I cut BS years ago. When they went from 50c a download (when SS bought the place) to 25c a download. I said "I'm not going to take that! It's an insult." Ha Ha, now BS is miserable, but still pays 25c a download and SS pays dimes? IS pays fractions of cents and flat 15%.

Maybe I should have stuck with BS?  ;D

Probably not because 25 cents of zero sales is stil 0$. It's true that SS and iS pay cents but at least you can have big sales. June was actually my BME at SS and iS.

Positively a fact, a better percentage of nothing is still nothing and crappy or zero sales for 25c instead of a dime, is not going to add up to more than many sales for less.



I'm happy that I left BS, DP, 123, and all the rest of the bottom feeders. What I'm missing, for the time I would have spent, isn't important enough to care.

Back to the poll. 33 people gave BS a 0.6 rank, or an average of $3 a month. WOW! I spend that on gasoline driving to the grocery store and back home.

Did anyone still have sales in January'24?

I didn't have a single sale for the first time (usually around 15 a month) and I'm wondering if they're being shut down by Shutter for good.

Yes, I still had sales in January and also in February.
But it was just 7 sales in January. I had 37 sales in January 2023, just for comparison.

With the inability to submit new content I don't really see this agency going forward. Obviously with the lack of new content customers and therefore sales are also declining, as was to be expected. But even before all that my income from Bigstock was so small, that it was hardly worth mentioning. I think apart from Vector Stock they have always been the agency with the lowest income for me, so it's not one I will cry about when they finally shut down for good.
