Earlier the buyer side was slow and not responding and now it seems the contributor side is taking a nap?

Anyone else?

So, I am hearing bad revenues regarding Shutterstock does this mean its not a good investment and if so any suggestions?

Thank you for your update and regards

No, download numbers on SS are as usualy for me, just the eraning has changed.
For me it's Adobe that's "taking a nap" this week. It's all an individual experience.

From the investment point of view, SSTK could be a good candidate for short selling.

Ive just had the lowest priced video sale Ive ever experienced on SS - $7.20. I know some people have had much lower returns than that for clips but for me, this is something new. Previously, my lowest was $10 for a clip.

Despite not getting any ultra low video sales yet, I'll probably still disable my photo and video ports when I hit my next payout. I know it will only be a matter of time before I receive crumbs for my clips.

Ive had 11 x 0.43c video "sales" this month.

RPD for video this month has gone from $18 or so to $4.  Volume is the sale but each sale is now pennys.

That must really sting. I don't think I could handle that those kinds of returns for video sales. The sooner we leave this madness behind, the better.
