How can an exclusive member give you any relevant information on other sites since they have no knowledge of how their images would do on other sites? Exclusive means exclusive. This doesn't only apply to DT but any site where a member is exclusive. You can ask about the experiences of others who have left exclusivity in general, or specifically for DT but that has been asked many times already. It works for some, not for others and it takes longer to recoup any momentum for those who do leave exclusivity and spread their stuff around. The short answer is that it depends on many factors - subject matter of your photos, how good you are at keywording, if one site or the other specializes on a certain subject matter or look, etc. There are no easy answers these days and you seem to be looking for them by only rephrasing your questions. Search these forums, that question in one form or another has been asked and answered over and over and over again. No disrespect intended.
