how cute,

please help me get something straight here ... it looks to me like customers will pay Wemark with their "worthless" dollars and wemark will take these, do some computer magic and pay contributors with their very "valuable" self invented crypto ... because it's better?

On the one hand, I would like another successful stock site which would give us a good income.

But on the other hand, even with the best marketing, why on earth would anybody "buy their tokens"? You need some really blind trust or stupidity to just give some new agency your money for something which can easily be just imaginary / non existent. And if it's real, it's still 100% under this startup company's control. Why would anybody give their money for that? I know I wouldn't.

Is it possible in the future they actually use real money?

After my images have been sitting with them for months I have no idea whether they will get round to reviewing them or not.

"Our goal isn’t to create two classes of photographers, but to establish one of the strongest collections of stock content and help photographers of all levels improve and get to a point where they can be making professional work. With that in mind, we’ve established the Standard Track. Think of it as a gateway to the next tier, with a few parameters in place to keep submissions efficient, review time low, and — most importantly — quality on the up and up."

The goal is exactly to create two classes of photographers! Or how could you have a "next tier"?

Until they have some viable marketing plan for their agency - and blah-blah-blockchain-blah-blah isn't a plan - who cares about their uploading setup?

I had them delete my images after they told me that it would be sometime next spring when my images would be reviewed. I said thank you but your organization is not one I want to be a part of.

Right?

This basically read as "We're just another agency figuring everything out yet again but in the end won't be anything different."

I guess they hung their key selling point on an unsustainable commission rate and Blockchain/crypto...in the current climate that's not looking a winning "strategy". Not talking to your contributors even eight months after they submitted work is not my idea of treating them well....even Istock communicate more!
