Title: What's the current situation with depositphotos?
Post by: spike on September 27, 2015, 20:16

I've been out of the loop for some time now, so I'm looking to find out if it's not ok to upload to depositphotos?

I stopped uploading there when the 3% royalty per image was discovered, was "kindly invited to upload my stuff back" and refused, so I'm wondering if they changed their ways or not?

The last that I've read is that they reduced the royalties by 10% for all and increased prices, but what about the partner program, opt-outs, and so on? Are they now considered to be a more or less fair agency (like fotolia after the launch of adobe stock), or it's still the same? Do you upload there?

Thanks.

Nothing has changed. Some are reporting that their opted out images are showing up again in partner sites.

My images did not show up again at partner sites after my opt-out, so that's something. Apparently my images can still be found there  >:(

But they have reduced commissions a couple of weeks ago, so if I were you I wouldn't jump right back in.
