I am surprised that Mostphotos is still around. With its fast ftp upload, simple submission and fast inclusion of photos in library is almost the best from this point of view. No review process, therefore most of the photos are sheer crap. Not sure how large is the uptake market for this site though beside Sweden.

I'm not at all surprised. They never had the cost of reviewers and unlike most sites, they have a USP. You might not like their collection but they do have buyers, unlike a lot of sites that use reviewers. I like that my images go on sale almost instantly, they pay 50% and have a very low withdrawal limit. They aren't hoarding our cash as much as most of the other low earner sites.

Exactly, reduce fixed costs down to a minimum and you don't have to sell that much to stay in business. :)
Bandwidth and storage. That's about it.

Certainly much worse sites out there

I don't sell anything there, but they have all my images, excellent back up service that I can tap into from anywhere.

I kind of neglected Mostphotos, trying to catch up with them now given that is so easy to upload there. I had some minor payout, but also just a small fraction of my portfolio was uploaded. I will give it a try, will see how things fold out with a larger amount of photos. Thanks for the feedback.
