I Contributed many videos to Wirestock. In Sept 2024 Adobe Stock paid contributors Earnings "Firefly training". I received $2600 with 5000+ video files for my personal account.
And I mailed wirestock distributed them to contributors in second week of January 2025. I expected $125-$150, based on the number of video files and sales they made through Adobestock. But I received only $16. I mailed them why I earned so less than expected( I expected $125-$150 by comparing number of files, downloads, firefly earnings from my personal adobe stock account).
They replied they distributed firefly earnings equally based on number assets that contributors submitted and approved.
They distributed equal amount for photos and videos.
How can they pay same amount to photo and video, when this time contributors earned more because of video files/ video sales?
And I suspect that they really paying properly or not?

This sounds like they get a lump sum for dataset earnings and just divide over their entire portfolio, treating videos and photos at the same value.
so video producers get a loss less, photo producers a lot more.
Very strange. maybe something to discuss in their own forums, or facebook groups or discord channel?

"...based on the number of video files and sales they made through Adobestock." I don't understand how the number of video sales made through WS, saying AdobeStock, have anything to do with Firefly training? They aren't the same thing.
