Guess not hitting shutterstock hard is going to keep costing us agency after agency

The problem is we can't hit SS hard with our lack of strength (in numbers), agencies will follow no matter what we do. Since SS's fall from grace I've come to accept the fact that there's no future in microstock anymore. At least not if it keeps eroding further and further.
WD3 Photography:
I've decided to suspend uploading to Deposit Photos.
I sold 13 photos in Nov 2020 and only 2 in Dec 2020! So far this month I've sold 4 photos (the last for $0.17).
I think, I'll wait until I reach there payment level of $50 and close the account.
Presumably they won't payout if you close the account before reaching $50.
Jens G:
On the positive side, they don't reset level once a year - yet.
It's still based on lifetime sales.
WD3 Photography:
For me the bottom line, is I sold 562 photos on ??? in the last six months and 41 on Deposit Photos! Only in one month (in the last six) was Deposit Photo's RPD higher than ???.
I'm going to stick with the other "minow" site Dreamstime, because their RPD is generally better than ???.
Allsa:
I just told them to remove my portfolio before the changes take effect.
