Congratulations.  It feels really sweet when it happens.
Not to burst the bubble, but today I had enhanced on Shutterstock.  We all know how often that happens.  Look what it got me

I had an enhanced today, and got $12.85

Resurrecting this old thread which I thought was assigned to the dustbin of history. Now if Shutterstock could return to these sales then we'd be having a much different conversation about them, and they'd likely be seeing much better results on their stock price. I haven't had a sale like this since 2023. Aerial drone video...

Nice one !

The last one I had was in late 2024.

I can tell how worst ss is becoming... 50% drop in sales and 75-80% drop in earnings...
I doubted they are stealing some sales from contributors to cover their losses... I don't understand how all of sudden such reduce in sales and revenue when Adobe stock performing stable

I had another decent sale on Shutterstock with $150 - another aerial drone video shot. Attached is the sale in May and new sale in June.

The new unlimited only filter is significantly reducing the visibility of non-participating contributors which may explain a recent drop in sales. I've opted out while I'm monitoring sales. May was ok for me and if June is still fine I will continue to opt out.

My wife and I don't even have this 'unlimited only' switch.
Presumably neither of us was 'chosen' to take part in this exquisite programme

We didn't notice any change at Shutter - sales in May were at a completely normal level for us at around 450 and 250 DL.

This is a sale of 3x videos and now puts Shutterstock in a comfortable lead over Adobe Stock for this month. Whether it remains in front is to be seen. Have to go back to July 2024 the last time Shutterstock finished the month ahead of Adobe.
