So, thanks to the particularly smart members of this forum, I finally read this entire thread.
So, due to the low sales on pond5, I suggest all members of this thread start writing letters to pond5 and asking them to finally launch a project called Hyperstock.

LOL yeah, I sure hope not. We're lucky that it never got past Beta testing. I was sincere when I said that SS and IS have had enough of subscriptions and they have changed their model for the future. Anyone who still sells on SS has seen the tricks that SS pulled, to give us less and how we are seeing almost no subs anymore.

🤞

1. If Hyperstock had been created, pond5 would not have been sold to shutterstock.
2. Now the question is not about what happened many years ago, but about what to do now.
3. But yes, I see that you like the lack of income on pond5.

1. I see you also have the time machine and predictive crystal ball, that shows what would have happened?

2. What can we do? We don't run the agency.

3. I do? When did I write that?
