Title: Alamy back down to middle tier
Post by: pkphotos on August 05, 2016, 15:13
Alamy's short term bogus position at second spot behind SS seems to have corrected itself. Envato has taken up an equally dubious position. Obviously too few people fill out the poll for the results to be reliable.

Would the results ever be that reliable? Seems like a very small sample that come here, even if everyone voted, to have any real statistical meaning, considering there are tens of thousands of contributors.

I think we need different polls for different categories. I hardly belive anybody shooting videos will vote for Alamy, Depositphotos or Dreamstime as they all definetely look like photo agencies. Videos acceptance there make me believe they somehow don't pay for their servers :)

When you look at the numbers voting a statistician would write it off immediately...probably OK as a rough guide. As far as I know Shutterstock being a public company is the only one that produces any reliable stats. Its a shame cos we are all flying in the dark really......

The big question is will the herd stop uploading to Alamy and start complaining and rush to Envato and praise it?
