Strange but true. Adobe has stopped not sure why. Selling nothing for last few days there. Strangely, I got sale from DP, RF and several others including SS too consistently. On adobe my last sale was on 5/20/2019. Nothing after that.

Might be because we are approaching Memorial Day in US. I have noticed all sales slower recently.

There is a possibility that sales in Adobe, either through Fotolia. And now, those images must find their place in the new agency.

Not a single sale after May 24. Miserable month at Adobe. They killed FT but not just the brand but the entire agency.

May for Adobe was slow for me, but not zero.  Then suddenly today (Memorial Day) I got 11 sales through Adobe.  I typically only get one or two a day from that agency.

All 11 of these were scenes from Ecuador (unusual concentration) and all for 33 cents (unusually low payout per sale).  My guess is that someone is on a subscription, had some credits left over, and used them up collecting possible images for an article or blog or whatever.  Only a guess though...

what about SHUTTERSUBS?
where are od single and enhanced? migrated to another planet?
ahaha....connect by getty is the last nail own the coffin...i told in another thread..connect actually is killing any other company giving for free any content used for web.

I actually just had my third extended license sale for a whopping 65 € within three days (among some smaller ones). This never happened before - I normally see one of these every 6 months, if that.

I'm now getting paranoid that Adobe is having another glitch and they're going to deduct the money right back off again and leave me with maybe 0,66 € per sale. Has anyone else sold a suspicious number of extended licenses in the past few days?

No, the dry season continues. Something weird this time. No sale since 20th May.  With Fotolia, we could see the views to ascertain that something is happening.

Sad, no more my first agency. Adobe is going down more than other agencies. Weird because on Adobe I upload all my stock material. This fluctuations last too long :/

May finished very strongly, well up on previous year/month. June started off steady, more of the same would be nice  ;D

You seem to defy the common trends and swim against the tide. Not sure whether you are refuting the realities or inventing something unique. anyways, congratulations !!!!

Who knows "what's wrong with May sales"? I still haven't received them. Still stuck with April stats. :o

Wow, that's depressing. You took a big hit this year.

Yes, it is not even funny anymore. Just thinking what to do next. Diversity of uploaded images and videos, more and more uploads does not help me.
Best of luck to all!

Finally today on 15th day since my last sale, I got a sale. Adobe can show us the views  data as fotolia used to show. It enables us to see that things are moving.

How big is your portfolio, how many sales you have  previous year compared to this year?

On SS I noticed some drop in video sales in May 2019 compared to May 2018. Sales there are ok!

Adobe is almost DEAD here. I was always good ranked at Adobe. Last year and previously years my selling was great! Now nothing more. I got only few views after weeks I uploaded new stuff. There must be something. No reasen for such a drop for 6 months in row now! Emerald, yes, but few sales a day?! Last year I was gold and I have 30-40 sales at day. Now, as emerald??!, I only make 10 sales a day if I have good day (subs mostly), maybe some day o have few more. This game is obviously over.

Thank you for amazing algorithms Adobe! Appreciated

My may sales were within the normal for me, but june is very bad so far.

I'm only at about 1/4 of what I usually have this time of the month, and since I have only dropped 50 places on the rank, I guess I'm not the only one with  poor sales.

Adobe is going so bad for me. How is 123 doing better?

Sales have drop a lot for me since may 1th. I used to have 10 minimum sales a day and now I have three days with 0 sales ! The end of fotolia maybe ? Anyone experiencing the same drop ?

Couldn't find your Adobe Stock portfolio but I saw your work on Shutterstock which are pretty cool! I wish you a LOT of sales!  8)

Just happened to check out your portfolio as well, incredible stuff!
