I stopped uploading new work completely. Too many 0.03 USD earnings. It`s a joke.

at the beginning they were very few...now they are the majority...is clear that as i said free images website and stolen images are impacting micro stock industry in a strong way.
i am very curios to see the financial results of ss for the next quarter.

I had 41 cent RPD, and 37% of the sales gave me 10 cents or less. Very bad 

more than 60 per cent for me under 20 cent....i stop uploading anything to getty stock. not even worth the time and hassle. i will collect royalty of the portfolio i had but not bother anymore...15% without big sales is not worth any  hassle.

I stopped uploading in november 2016, and deleted the best selling, which I was not willing to sell for down to 0.02 USD in commission.

Didn't make payout again, sales down two thirds in a year, some files selling for .05, I really dont have anything good to say about them.

Statistics take a whole month to come through so we have no idea what is selling.

The real problem is, with all the low commission rates they are undercutting everybody else.

Seriously thinking about deleting my Portfolio.

This is not a business that values the people it represents.

To sum up the owners of Getty must be laughing all the way to the Bank having scammed all their creatives.

This is not a business that values the people it represents.

True and nicely said. That said... long gone are the days when any agency values the people it represents. The industry has changed, and not for the better.

Good month financially.  80% over December 2017  (very bad month) and 30% over November 2018 but 33% of d/ls were for $0.22 or less and 25%+ were at $0.00.  I would be in pretty good shape if I got paid something for the hundreds of shots given away.

0.00???

I've read reports of 'sales' of zero, but so far haven't seen any explanation.

Weird. You should ask about it...?

I've tried to make sense of this, but failed, it is really vague:
