Massive drop for me. Lots of people on FB reporting the same.

Yep, around 40% drop
Which group at FB you check?

Not sure, I don't use facebook much. I signed up to a few SS ones a while ago, it was one of those. Came across my feed when I logged in for another reason today. Don't have time to double check now. Someone said the results are in, and there was loads of comments saying 40-60% down and Canva had cut payment per dl (stats take a bit of working out for Canva so haven't double checked). Someone else said it was because they had deleted images (this one probably just a theif as there's loads on the SS FB groups).

Also a 40% drop for me. And I "lost" around 200 images as well... Anybody else had images deleted (without being told) ?

How do you see what they have deleted?

You can only see the total number at canva.com/p/yourusername. I can�t see what the deleted.

Hmm, I look to be down a couple of hundred images as well.

It would be nice if Canva would tell us what is going on.

down 40% also.  about 3% of my images have been deleted, so unlikely that's the cause of the sudden drop - more likely the total amt for distribution dropped.  and canva income continues to be greater than AS  in most months

recently submissions tho have been getting many fewer accepted even tho content & quality havent changed

Same here

Would also be nice if they didn't continuously keep cutting out payments per sale by massive amounts just because they can.

With this latest move I am guessing they will either be putting the company up for sale soon, or they are doing away with us altogether (relying on AI or something). On some level they must know this is unsustainable.

When they literally put their money where their mouth was, and guaranteed increased earnings by doubling payouts for a period, I was very hopeful. A shame that promise was so short-lived.

As one of the most valuable brands on the planet, it is sad to see that they reached this status by shafting us. Another example of corporate greed gone to far.

Well said

This cannot be a coincidence, they probably massively diluted our share by paying everyone royalties from the same dwindling pool, a 40% drop across the board is not a normal summer dip. They should really become more transparent in their payouts because this makes no sense.

I believe they have bee doing that for a long time, hence the near 10X decrease in pay per use prior to this. I am wondering if they have just also massively cut the payment pool despite their promises when the scheme was put in place.

Same here 40% down 

Massive drop here too...

OR, their sales this month dropped substantially - no need for conspiracy theories. 

as for the price per download, that's been miniscule compared to monthly payout, but has been steady for many months.
even with 40% dip, that still is 20x the download income.
