Mine started yesterday. Nothing like the numbers that are being reported here, but a definite change. From the very very rare SOD to 5 yesterday (4 of the same image) and 6 today (5 of the same image that got 4 yesterday).

Sure wish ss would chime in on this one.

I am suspicious this will not last.

I got a few of the 'sub rate SOD' yesterday and today. I think it is the Facebook SODs which probably may not be realtime. I checked back and I could see a similar set of 3 days (from 18-Nov-2014 through 20-Nov-2014) where there were a few 'sub rate SOD's.

I had 211 SODs and overall the biggest DL and $$$ day I think, yesterday.  Kind of makes up for the last two weeks dropping by almost %40.

I think they gave my sales to you guys...mine have been terrible for the past few days. ;)

I finally got at least one of those SODs. Nothing to write home about, but at least I don't feel ignored any more  :P

And yes, lots of subs this month.

Same for me, but very few ODD and no EL's  :-\

I had one $12.50 US SOD early in the month. Not much since then other than gazillions of subs.

Those FB SOD's seem to have vanished just as quickly as they arrived :-(

Mine are still there.  Just haven't been any more since Friday.  Did anyone seriously think that was gonna last forever?  Pretty sure they were catching up on a reporting backlog.

Based on a post in the SS thread, I looked at last June. On 2 different days about the same time, I had a large number of .38 SODs just like this year. Still don't know what that means.

Not the case for me. However, pleased they appeared this year otherwise the last few days would have been TERRIBLE!!!

I certainly didn't think so!

Hi everyone,

Just to confirm what most of you already concluded: these downloads are from our partnership with Facebook and they are an accumulation of a period of several weeks.

There was a reporting lag, and we have been working with Facebook to make sure all ads created with Shutterstock images in the last few weeks are accounted for before the end of the month.

Each individual payout represents a different ad from a different Facebook advertiser. We expect less delays in the future.

Thank you for posting Ron.  Good to know.  Maybe we can hope for even more of them the next two days?

just to let people know, even I am opted out of sensitive usage, today I sold one of my photos as single and others downloads for about 84 dollars. Nice surprise Shutterstock

I got 197 of 38 cent single dl today. It is the same as my average download in a day without "single and other download" i almost make 400 sales today. So excited about the  amount of images downloaded  today  but not really excited for the money  ;D

Good grief 197 ! I get 6 or 7 and I think I have had a good day. However I have had all sales of 0.36 today but no increase in actual sales. Just 5  :-\

Anyone else getting many SODs of $0.66? I don't where they come from, but I got some today and yesterday.

I got one yesterday. Never had one before.

dirkr

I had one on the 17. Can't remember that I have seen that amount before.
