are you ppl making your forecasting selections based on YOUR OWN SALES?
that is not a viable barometer of who is going to go down next.
 

Of course. We are all experts here, more or less professors in microstock, actually   

To be honest, I think this thread is very useless. First of all, we don't know the whole picture, we don't know the total sales, we don't know the funding and we don't know the costs of any of these agencies. We can have suspicions, but little more.

The one site that was easiest to read, was LO. They looked like a high cost operation with all their stuff, and most of us knew that they didn't sell well. Places with low costs and a reasonable portfolio, can probably run for years or forever, even if it looks to us like they don't have enough to survive.

Look at a place like ScanStock. The website is so boring and primitive that any 16 year old could probably have designed and programmed it. I guess that it's a very skinny operation. Their review times indicate that. But they sell photos, day after day, or at least they do for me.

I believe that they, and a few of the other low-cost operations will be among the survivors, and as long as commissions are trickling into my account, I'm happy.
