Just got a email today from clashot.com that I sold 1 photo from DepositPhotos through them. Never heard of this site and I'm surprised they send me a notification email. Anyhow, I looked at their website and they show my portfolio in 337px size without watermark! I'm absolutely not happy about this. Has anyone heard of this website before?
(edit) Seems they are owned by DepositPhotos and only have their editorials. In the "How it works" section they say:
"Special terms for Depositphotos contributors: upload your editorial photographs to Clashot and get $0.10 for each approved photo. You do not need to register a new account at Clashot: please use your Depositphotos credentials to sign in at the website or in the mobile app."
So now I'm confused. What is the point in uploading there when all my editorial photos from DepositPhotos are already there. And I didn't even receive $0,10 per photo for it.

I'm pretty baffled nobody is surprised by this. As everyone's editorial pictures from DepositPhotos are on this site without a watermark.
(edit) now I see the website is asking for a password. Strange

I can't get in either. What is the point of a website that you can't register for? Somebody should ask DP what the deal is.
I'll add them to the partner list.
