Isn't it true that prices started at zero and have gone up at least 20% sometimes 100% each year?

The sites that have undercut have very low sales while those that raised their prices the most are doing great. This is particularly true for pay per download sites but even with subscriptions I don't see any of shutterstocks competitors taking much of their market share.

Isn't this the opposite to what is being discussed in this thread? Tell me if we are just trying to make it look bad and I will shut up.

Good points Sharpshot! Prices have indeed gone up considerably and subscriptions do indeed make up only a tiny portion of the sales on credit based sites.

It is easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom. Especially for those of us who have a substantial portion of our incomes tied up in microstock. But you're right, the end is not yet in sight.

Right, the only sites that matter are raising prices every year. I have a hard time understanding why people want to upload to these new sites that seem to pop up everyday. Are the new sites tapping into a new market out there? why bother? Just seems like you would be creating more work for yourself, while the owner of the site reaps the benefit.
