Title: 8/1-14 sales data 2022 vs 2021 on Adobe Stock, Video revenue down 40% due to sub
Post by: blvdone on August 14, 2022, 16:17
I just calculated my sales data of first 2 weeks of August this year and last year.  I see brutal effect of video subs.  My results below.

In 2022 compared to 2021,

#of videos downloaded = up 8%.
Total video sales revenue = down 40%.
Revenue per video download = down 45%, $20 (2022) vs $36 (2021)
70% of video sales in 8/1-14, 2022 were video subs in $3-$5 range.

# of photos downloaded = up 9%.
Total photo sales revenue = down15%.
Revenue per photo download = down 21%, $1.07 (2022) vs $1.30 (2021).

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!

Do you see a similar trend???

If most contributors are making less money because of video sub introduction, Adobe must be making less money like we do.  If so, what was the point in doing video subs???  I don't understand those corporate folks.

Those low value sub video sales are spread through different contributors, so just because you are making less doesn't meand Adobe is.

As for the photos, my earnings are up, not sure about RPD and downloads because I haven't done any statistics.

Who knows?  But I hope Adobe is making less money because of this stupid video subs.
