What's happened to Dreamstime?

They always bounce around a lot from month to month but are holding steady. Last year overall was actually slightly better than the year before and January was OK - they were around 4th place, so still hanging in there. Canstock and 123 are the ones that have completely fallen off a cliff for me. Looks like I just dropped a level on 123 so not sure it's worth continuing with them, but DT still gets enough non-sub sales to make them OK.

--- Quote from: Justanotherphotographer on February 01, 2018, 04:32 ---I would always chime in on DT sales threads to that they have been slowly growing sales wise for me over the years. Nothing crazy, but older files tended to sell there more and over time build their tiers. It was good balance for other sites where new files would sell then quickly disappear.
Then about August last year sales went through the floor and have stayed there. My December 2017 was half of December 2018 and January barely two thirds of last years. That is with constant uploads and increase in quality.
What did they do? Has anyone else experienced this? I have a mix of illustrations and photos, so also interested in illustrators' experience.

I've kept my sales at the same level for years. The end of last year and earlier this year are very very bad. It's first time so bad this way. :(
Hildegarde:
My sales there have been picking up over the past couple of months.
dpimborough:
Dreamstime are a waste of space they never made over $200 in a year and 2017 was $143 in total which was lower than 2016 $187 ridiculous for a port of 2,000 images.
PhotoBomb:
2015 I averaged about $200 a month (all photos)
in 2016 it was $160 a month
in 2017 it was $130 a month with some wild fluctuations (3 times under $100)
Slowly slipping away.
