Will SS muck up Bigstock next?
Hannafate:
Shutterstock has finally made themselves into the Wal-Mart of stock photography. They will probably still make a profit from selling tons of totally crappy images at "low everyday prices". But, I don't think that will satisfy their corporate greed.
My concern it that they'll turn to Bigstock next.
My sales there are pathetic, and have been for some time. I'm wondering if I should bail out before things get weird.
Although, Shutterstock's most likely move may be to simply close Bigstock.
What do you all think?
Roscoe:
Nobody really cares about BigStock. They can do with it whatever they want as far as I'm concerned. It's a very low earning agency, impact will be minimal.
Justanotherphotographer:
For anyone not on bridge bigstock is already almost the worst paying site out there.

My BigStock experiemce:
- makes 1.89% of my revenue
- lowest RPD $0.27 of all agencies I upload to (quit IStock last year, so now BigStock is the lowest)
- the site is buggy for uploading
- rejection reasons are ridiculous like SS
- support told several times 'we will fix this', nothing happened
Mimi the Cat:
Bigstock already operates a form of royalty reset based on a rolling 12 months.
To be honest its already messed up and sales have pretty much dried up except for the odd 27 cent sale.
I quit uploading there a few months back there was just no point anymore.
