Folk,
please publish here, when you got your first upfront sales from the second wave.
Last time no image was selected from mine, so I just want to know, if I still can hope or not.
Oh, yes: Best for me to know, if you goth that sales via Wirestock, which MIGHT take little bit longer (in case of so many and different artists) until Wirestock is ready to inform us?

Is Wirestock definitely included in this then?

Seems like that.
I asked wirestock after the first wave and they checked it for me: No sales to Adobe for me. All others in that similar time were instant pay for me from shutterstock.

Yes and No: Both is possible. I hope for you!

I received word this morning that payments may not happen until tomorrow (Wednesday). There are a lot of moving parts with this process so your patience is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Thank you Mat for always showing respect for the contributors by communicating with us.

Far more than some companies do (mentioning no names) ...

Totally agree. The others treat us like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t

The images are starting to be selected as I type but no $$ yet- I assume they will continue with the process until tomorrow morning.

Yep, I see that. Thanks. Hope it's a lot more than that though.

Matt. Oscar here. I'm starting to see images from the second wave. Is that the end or will there be a 3rd wave also. Thanks so much for all your help communicating---Oscar

Yakystockero · « **Reply #16 on:** August 10, 2021, 17:42 »

Received the € extra right now, 70 new pics selected.

For Real · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2021, 17:44 »

$$$ have been paid now thus I assume the 2nd wave is over now...

MatHayward · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2021, 18:28 »

I’ve been informed payments are now complete for this wave. I’ll keep you posted as additional waves happen.

Thank you,

Mat

That was a very large second wave - total in the free section is 574,566 items, 529,156 of which are photos

July 16th, the total was just over 319k

Most of the other asset types stayed nearly the same as in July.

The quality is excellent - putting a Customer hat on I wouldn't see anything different from the main collection.

At the beginning, the stated approach was breadth, not depth, but with such a large free collection, the depth has noticeably increased (based on some test searches I did)

I hesitate to ask, because today's answer might be different in the future, but is there any notion of a maximum size of this collection?

Folk,
please publish here, when you got your first upfront sales from the second wave.

I just had another 10 accepted on top of the 20 in the first round. Total of 30 for $150.

After checking out the ones they took in both rounds, I'm fine with their decision and mine too.

ETA: I have no idea if there's a connection here or not, but since my first-round images were accepted I've had a lot of first-time sales of other images. Mostly wild bird shots. Sure would be fun to know there's a cause-and-effect between the freebies and the newly discovered pics, but I have no way of knowing.

Less than the first round

Same number of files as the first time, 17, total 34.
