What happens if you stops uploading new images regarding the monthly income, how does is drop?

I think that's very hard to evaluate and probably has a lot to do with how successful you are at stock, how regular your income was before etc.

I have read on the SS forum (RIP) a couple of contributors who haven't uploaded for years but their incomes remained steady, until the payment change last year.

I stopped uploading to SS when they changed the payment scheme, but it's really hard to make an evaluation with a worldwide pandemic in between.

My numbers dropped but I suspect mainly because of the pandemic.

If you regularly upload images that sell well quickly then the impact of stopping uploads is going to be felt.

For Real:
for me none. My new images are not getting sales only the old ones  :-[

I have no personal experience, but have asked this question before in a German forum. Most have reported that with upload stop the downloads do not decrease immediately, but significantly after 1-2 years.

I observe a similar thing. And stock agencies have some subtle ranks for contributors and promote their works according to their priorities + activity level. I am pretty sure, at least the top agencies, many follow this strategy.
