Personally, I'm glad SS stopped accepting these kind of images. In my opinion, it undermines the credibility of the whole industry and those of us who work hard to create original images.

i'm glad too, since the ones they accepted before the ban continue to sell very well

The strangest thing about PD illustrations is happening SS... SS accepts stamp photographs as editorial but vintage illustrations ( with much higher selling potential) their reject them ( even as editorial)...

They stopped accepting PD images not as part as selling potential, but because it required too much time for their reviewers to evaluate and confirm the validity of the PD status of each images.

One of the points.

Patrick.

And the hassle of checking if there is no TM breach.

so did ur slaes decline?

No they remain pretty stable, but I did upload 321 new color illustrations and a few hundreds video in the meantime so we can say PD declined a bit, but not that much. I think the ones buying those types of illustrations liked to have new content added regularly.

I have way less gallery views (from 4 to 8 per days to 0 to 2 per day).

I think gallery views are broken right now. I've been showing zero or 1 for a few days, down from 10 plus with no drop in sales.

Ok that might explain it. I was looking at my gallery views just now, only 2 for the whole week while it was at least 30 before. Some views are logging in but 5 days with no views at all is pretty strange.

Seems today the income is laggy again. Been showing me 25 sales since this morning, but when I look at the day's detail income I have 40. We have been seeing this more and more this late, nothing too concerning if the sales are all getting logged correctly
