My earnings are going down by every month. I am not sure what changes have they made but downloads are decreasing consistantly.
Adobe has been on my top list and seeing them going down hurts.

Mine have remained constant, images only, 25 uploads a week, 2 hrs work a week all in. Circa $300 a month

Adobe Stock has lost its shine. It was going well there for a time, probably gaining some customers from Shutterstock, but it's recent clumsy and chaotic curation of AI content has seen it decline.

I love how people blame Adobe for everything, like Adobe can control the market and customers, it's a slow period overall.

Maybe you are slightly lost here.

Sometimes the market does feel slow, but a big part of whats happening is that companies like Adobe are constantly tweaking their search and indexing algorithms. Sometimes those changes help visibility, other times they really hurt. Its all part of their ongoing experiments.

That said, the demand isnt actually gone. Adobe just shows a max of 100 pages in search results and they are still doing pretty well.

Also, dont forget companies like Adobe take a decent chunk in commission. Thats part of what funds all these experiments and keeps the platform running.

To be fair though, Adobe has generally treated contributors pretty well, which is why theyre still leading the microstock space. Its just that in the last few months, things seem to have dipped which is definitely a bit concerning.

The market is not slow. There are more contributors because of AI.
