Exactly. The company which is paying one of the worst commissions in industry is slowly fading away in favour of its competitors. Why are many of us so worried? Except for exclusives - for whom I feel sorry - it's actually a good deal for us in the long term.

What, exactly, do you think it will do to your sales numbers at other sites when the majority of top selling exclusives get wise and drop the crown?  Millions more top quality, formerly exclusive, images hitting the other sites will further dilute sales.  This disaster isn't good for anyone, and ITLR it will hurt exclusives and independents both.  

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!  as true as its said. There wont be room for anybody anymore.

Ok, your theory makes sense, you may well be right in the long term.

For now, what I am seing is that - after months of basically stable earnings - my overall earnings are (slowly) increasing again and gains at other sites are more that compensating loss.
Maybe because more buyers than top contributors are moving away from IS for now?

I projected my short-term data into the future, that may be my error and shouldn't have said "in the long term"? Will wait and see.
