Yes, the world has changed and the third world war continues. But you can't write about it here, because Russian trolls and German parasites write complaints to the admin, after which any topics on the forum are deleted (or rather moved to the archive section).
So I won't be able to answer your questions.
 

Glory to Ukraine!

@Pacesetter... Sales... are... not quite what I was expecting. Was expecting them to go up significantly with all the work I've done. Perhaps it will still come. How about yourself?

@Stoker2014... Re: Ukraine, lol - obviously assuming you are ukranian (forget if we chatted about this), so I suppose it's only naturally to love to bask in the glory of the mass media (fox, cnn, bloomberg, etc, etc) constantly saying "ukranians are awesome, give money to ukraine" and lap it up. But you have to remember - a lot of Russians are awesome too. As are a lot of Germans. It's the political figureheads (I wouldn't call them "leaders", because most don't "lead", but rather misdirect, pursue self interesting, lie cheat & steal for personal gain, etc - very controllable in fact and for the most part puppets by puppeteers behind the scenes)... But its the political figureheads that cause a lot of angst.

Sure you can write about "the war" - but... because the media & political figureheads lie so much and try and cause problems between races & people in general... why not focus on specifically what you observe? I.e., are you 'personally' writing from a laptop with planes & tanks crushing buildings? Or is that simply what "you heard" on "the news"? Do you personally see "russians" invading, or is it ukranians being paid a lot of money to wear russian uniforms and turning on their own people - becuase of "money" - by puppeteers behind the scenese (as actually happens in not only the ukraine, but a lot of different countries as well to try and cause dissent and strife)?

Now - it's not 'just' you - I do agree that unfortunately there do see a couple people here that seem to be massively brainwashed and if one says ANYTHING against what their television has told them they can talk about, they figuratively (and probably literally) have convulsions and froth at the mouth... kind of zombie like actually...

But anyways. I personally am interested in hearing things you 'personally' witness, and insights you may have into that.

This is a very broad question, I have partially covered it in the transferred topics. I will not be able to answer in this topic, the moderator will delete this topic after my answer.
But I'll answer somehow.

sales are going bad, I'm probably having a bug with Adobe,something is happening that has never happened before,6 whole days without even a single sale.

Niente questa settimana? Cosa � successo amico mio?

Any idea why the adobe sales are so low right now? And how to get them back up? Thanks!

I have a theory but I note from discussions on FB others are reporting slow sales on Adobe with some suggestions of public holidays and special days such as Eid etc happening around the world. We had a public holiday on Monday which definitely affected my sales this week.

My theory is, and I know this is gonna sound bizarre, like I've gone BS crazy even, is Shutterstock are winning back customers from Adobe! I'm finding higher commission sales are returning on Shutterstock this past two months while those higher commission sales have fallen on Adobe Stock.

How to get them back up on Adobe Stock is a question I couldn't answer but if there's any truth to my theory I think having strong ports on as many agencies as possible is probably the way to combat slow sales on any one agency. I had three consecutive slow months overall in February, March and April and much better results in May and going well so far in June (overall). So some of this could be algorithm changes or time of year. I often read contributors experience a summer slump in the northern hemisphere if that could also be a contributing factor? But otherwise I am reading contributors posts on FB saying sales are slow on Adobe as well.         

How long was it down?  A day or two?

it was down since last friday, so around one week

Uncertainty around the globe is currently historically high.

There is a third world war going on on planet Earth, it is not only shots and explosions, but also an economic war. For example, EU countries are now sending more money to the production of weapons, including for Ukraine. The more weapons are produced, the less money is spent on projects that need our content. The same applies to trade tariffs.
But on the other hand, if you create content on the topic of weapons and war, your sales will grow. 

Sales were very good at AS this week, it's supppper slow at SS, looks like the new subscription model affected badly my sales.
