Title: Depositphotos Raises $5m From EBRD and TMT Investments

It seems interesting to see how DP is going to get more sales with this investment and as it is saying, it would challenge the giants.

I know a lot of people have issues with this outfit.....but this might get them ahead of DT but a long way behind the "big three" I think.

They also raised millions from cutting commissions so here's to hoping they will never be a challenge to the giants.

For me this year they are already way ahead of DT.  Actually I just checked my numbers and they are number three for me this year only behind SS and iS.  For number of sales they were number 5 behind SS, iS, Canva and FT but beat the last two for revenue due to a higher RPDL.  I can see why venture capital companies would want to invest in them.

Their rpd shot down when they cut commissions. Less of a fan than ever

Venture capital companies have already ruined several stock agencies.  Why not another?

They cut comissions to contributors so I still have no interest to go back upload my images there

Last place I would invest a penny is Deposit Photos

Get ready for a new ride. Introducing VC to the DP mix is sure to result in more trickery, smoke and mirrors and voodoo finance.

The commission cut is the reason I'm cutting them from my upload list.
