DT is a Nightmarestime

It's incredible, I've been stopped at $97 for several months... it's like they stopped showing my photos only to not give me the $100 I get every 2 years! This business is a nightmare. Is there a trick? Buying my own photos through a fictitious account just to get the $100? It is certain that as soon as I have my $100, I close my account.

There have recently been summer vacations in a large part of the world. I July i did not have many downloads on DT. But here in August, the sales are back again. And I am way beyound 100$

Injustice for all:
I contributed to DT from 2018 to 2020 then stop,a few months ago I wanted to start uploading again but frankly I don't have particular faith in an agency that still keeps the minimum threshold at 100,and they know very well that most of the contributors it will never see the light of the day!

You do your thing, I do mine. I've been with DT for more than a decade. The first agency I started submitting images to. Never slashing commissions. Always consistent sales and always part of the top MS agencies. And you're going to close your account because the payout is $100? Do you think somehow that's going to punish Dreamstime? At least they didn't try to manipulate you like the SS by lowering their payout and then lowering the commission.

It's good to hear that you're getting consistent sales. You must be one of the few that do. For many people like myself, sales on DT are far from a regular occurrence. They are super slow. Though I will still contribute to DT (even after I reach payout.) All those sales do add up over time. It's still money in the bank. And the commissions are some of the best around for microstock agencies.

By the way, I'm not all that far from reaching my first payout there. I'm still hanging in there. Maybe in the future, I will have multiple payouts (though I know that will take an eternity!)
