Not enough people vote for it. Only the sites with numbers have enough votes. If it does end up getting enough votes I wouldn't be surprised if it went straight into the top tier.
if you place your mouse over stocksy you see that their earnings are largely by a chosen few.
in another thread, someone points this out

I fully understand your feelings and would feel the same. I'm still in full support of Stocksy but on a very personal level my financial results has been rather poor. People think they miss out big time but if you don't fit naturally in their concept your results will probably not be that great
alamy is no doubt the same thing,
whereas for ss and getty, the spread of the pie is more of a larger distribution...
in the same sense as blue chip vs penny stocks...
in the real big money stock market.
as mentioned below
When will we see Stocksy get out of the low earners section?
I'm not really sure how the Ratings work. I'd assume there is something factored in that considers the average across all voting members of the forum. In this case, I doubt Stocksy will ever show relevant numbers in there considering there are only around 1,000 members and most of them are not active on MSG.
For me personally, Stocksy in most month is the number 2 or 3 earner, way before iStock or Fotolia (I don't submit actively to Alamy, and I'm surprised and wonder how they suddenly made the second place in this ranking). And while Stocksy is far behind Shutterstock for me, I only have 300 images on Stocksy compared to 3,000 on Shutterstock. And I'm a rather small contributor at Stocksy.
So amongst those who submit to Stocksy, I would assume the majority would have Stocksy within the Top Tier.
so, is your stocksy earning in proportion to your ss ??? 300/3000 ???
I've been with Getty, iStock, SS, and Alamy in the past. None came close to the income I've been able to generate at Stocksy.
It's such a fun! Yoohoooooo ;D ;D
