Title: 500px shares exciting news
Post by: Rage on August 04, 2022, 22:04
Maybe not as bad as the others, but seems like they are trying to lure people back. Would you restart post this


As a photographer, you deserve a place to share your photos, connect with a global community and make money doing what you love! Have a hard time picking which photos to share? We've got you. Starting September 1 we’re not just doubling but TRIPLING your upload limit from 7 to 21 images per week.

With triple the uploads, you’ll be able to get even more feedback and engagement on your photos, participate in more community activities like Quests and have more chances to have your work featured in the exclusive Editors’ Choice. And if that's still not enough, you can always upgrade to an Awesome or Pro membership for unlimited uploads!

Plus, we’re making a few exciting changes to our Licensing payout structure starting September 1:

If you submit exclusive content (you’re not submitting it to other stock websites) you will receive a royalty of 60%.

If you submit non-exclusive content you will receive a royalty of 25%.

If you upgrade to a Pro or Awesome membership, you will receive a royalty of 100% on all exclusive content. ( that’s unheard of in the stock photography business

25% for none exclusive?!?!

Setting the bar far too low so screw 'em

Any way who can trust them  after their previous behaviour ::)

"If you upgrade to a Pro or Awesome membership, you will receive a royalty of 100% on all exclusive content"

Awesome? How firkkin childish.  Who writes this crap some idiot? 

So "Pro or awesome" Its another way of you pay us money to sell your images with no guarantee of the amounts or revenue.

Only a chump signs up to these deals  ::)

Who else got sales for 1 cent on 500px. You read that right, one cent.  I got over a dozen sales at that rate. I do not upload there anymore for that reason.
