So, in other industries firms are rising pay as people combat with inflation and demand more money. We constantly loose. Wicked. With inflation over 10%, rising costs everywhere we keep getting less and less. Images or video, does not matter

Yes, the companies are raising the salaries of their employees. But in order to do this they have to cut the royalties for the contributors.

I don't understand why the pricing of literally everything is going up, and we seem to be the only people (well, any small producer) not benefiting, because these buyers "want and need" access to this stuff. That's what I was told. "We are trying to address the very wide base of customers who want and need" these assets.

Must think that stock producers don't use gas or eat much food - at this rate gonna turn out to be true.

I have been at this for over 12 years full-time I have plenty of files on a lot of sites (non-exclusive) so yes P5 Exclusive is earning me the best now for my time!

Hey jjneff so you find Pond5 Exclusive worth it by the looks of it. How many videos do you have on Pond5 Exclusive compared to the other sites? No need to mention numbers but just comparatively? Off Topic: Really miss your updates on YouTube.

“First, we know that stock video can be expensive, so we wanted to reimagine our plans to lower costs.”

Sigh.

Nothing good comes out of "Reimagine". Yikes!!
