I know everything has slowed down there a lot over the last 18 months, but I've gone from average 80 downloads per day to around 40. Today is 7? Also, my Stockperformer won't download any information for Shutterstock today, which makes me wonder if there are site problems?

Same here. SS is very slow today. Only half of average day in downloads for me

I had a lot of trouble opening my contributor page this morning, so with the stats not downloading to Stockperformer, I'm hoping there is a problem that has caused a delay and the numbers will suddenly jump.

If not, perhaps it's time to trow in the towel?

Slow here too, had a SOD sale yesterday, that could be explanation.

There were some problems accessing contributor page this morning, ineed.

Me too. few sales today

Some crazy issue today. Yesterday was a good sale day so i was hoping for a strong weekend.

Plus video sales this month are in the tank. What happened

Crazy bad. worst 15 Days in nearly 13 Years. absolutely Amazing.

Thats for sure I have to go back 4 years when I had a fraction of the images I do now to see earnings this poor

Ditto. Last 2 days = 0.

But in the 'New algorithm change on Shutterstock' thread you said:

Whatever there doing....PLEASE keep it up.

So which is it?

i don't know if algorithm but lucky i had the best 15 days star of year ever, with 4 big sale, and a lot of single.
seems good also today.

Very slow sales this week.

Shutterstock is stirring their algorithms to spread sales out among contributors.  The idea being to continue to take in money from sales, but not have to pay out as much, because no one contributor will make enough for a payout for a long time. 

January very strong so far , hope it will continue !

Made $19 in the past week, so its all good. Right on track.

You know what, that makes no sense at all. They can't do anything with the money they owe except hold it. How do they gain from taking in money, but not paying out as much? Didn't they lower the payment threshold.

today i had sales of a complete series i did for christmas...somebody bout the all series...very strange...sound like my photo will appear in some otheraccpount:)

Seems that my turn is back on from today, hopefully will stay on until I get my monthly quota, as usual.
