Title: Analysis of Adobe Stock portfolios from top-500 customer queries
Post by: ribtoks on February 01, 2022, 11:08

Hey folks

Last autumn I did an analysis of Shutterstock portfolios on Petapixel and the general ask was to do the same for Adobe Stock. Sorry it took so long, but here it is finally: https://xpiksapp.com/blog/adobe-stock-top-500-portfolios/ (https://xpiksapp.com/blog/adobe-stock-top-500-portfolios/)

Please let me know what do you think of it!

The numbers are indeed interesting. And it really shows that the sheer size of a portfolio doesn't matter, at least with Adobe Stock.

One contributor conglomerate has 1,337,294 files in its portfolio and appears 78 times in the top 500 search results. Another has less than 2,600 files in its portfolio (one five-hundredth) and appears there 53 times.

As always since you started these reports, interesting and good depth that beats "because so many people think it's that way, it must be true."

Thanks for sharing the data, it's always interesting to read your analysis. I was expecting GaudiLab on the list, I just realised that they seem to have disappeared from Adobe.

In the last one (Shutterstock) I was shocked at how many stock photographers declare their earnings in Andorra, at least the ones that appear more in searches.

Andorra is not part of EU and here is why some chose it:
0 – 10% income tax
2 – 10% corporate tax

Besides, it's a very nice country with a very good standard of living.
