Writers' strike in the US started on May 2nd.  That timing pretty much coincide with when the low video sales started.  I've heard there are not much video production going on in Hollywood now.  Or is it the AI effect?

summer

mid july to end of august is usually very slow sales

The strike is an interesting thought. Jeopardy�s end credits says they buy stock from Alamy and Shutterstock, so it�s definitely possible.

Sales have been slower for me overall since April of this year. June was okay but everything else since April has been down significantly. So far October is slow as well. I think the strikes have contributed but I think the bigger issue is the very dim economic environment that most of the world is in. Sales are down in many industries and this has a trickle down effect to marketing and creative aspects. Hopefully it rebounds when economic conditions improve, which I think it will. But it could be a year or more until then, unfortunately.
