I've been there a pretty long time and my sales improved the last couple months. Not BMEs but better than the last year or so.
If I recall correctly, a year or so ago DT was standing in the 18-20 area in the Poll. It has gradually deteriorated and now stands way down at 7. With 158 people having 'voted' their earnings, I think this is enough to prove that there has been a widespread overall drop in sales and income for many people. Whether that is due to the search change implemented a few months ago, or some other reason, is open to speculation.In my own case, with a reasonably large and diversified portfolio, my sales and income have fallen about 50% compared to a few months ago.I'm not impressed with DT. The quality of the portfolio isn't up to the better standards, the web site doesn't appear to have been changed in years, and they send out silly emails like 'let's blog', the content of which is right at the amateur end of the scale. I suspect the fault lies with management, who simply don't appear to have the positive successful entrepreneur spirit of others, and for this reason I suspect their position compared to other agencies will continue to decline.
I no longer upload to DT anymore and cannot understand why they are rating in the top tiers here. Absolutely dead.

Lower your minimum payout limit! It takes me 6 days to reach my Shutterstock payout requirement. I'm sitting at 3 months with Dreamstime and still $40 to go. $100 is ridiculous especially if you're an agency sitting on the lower end of "middle tier"!
I have been hanging at $99.40 for over two months, and today I made it over $100.00. I cashed out immediately. Whew! I finally made it. Good luck to every one else who is close to a payout.
Whats the point of leaving it. Never know, someday you might be hacked or sth...Anway, DT is totally dead for me.

Not sure when is the next time I'll make payout again. It's only $100. If they get hacked, it's not a big loss.
I actually saw a pick up in the last couple weeks and even an EL sale - my first there. I'm hoping it becomes a trend.
Made payout for the first time a few days ago. Not sure if I should cash out or leave it there and let it keep accumulating.
