Nice one ;-)

From iStock? About $0, but I don't have an account there, so that could be it

Ah yes and I have friends who say the same about Shutterstock.    👍  We're all our own boss and free to do as we think.

No statement for me yet.

Yes, I was surprised as it's Monday the 18th and about the right time for processing.

it looks like iStock followed Shutterstock's lead and took down their forum?

Nah, the forum is still there. They moved it to the menu on the left side. Click on Community in that menu to access it. There's a post in the forum saying that they are moving the forum link back to to the front page.

Hehe, stock agencies will always let you down whenever you expect anything from them.

In my opinion, the author of this post is bored in life 

Yes, it was a slow day, I was bored and wanted to start a thread about IS reporting earnings and stop reading theories about how fast Adobe reviews, because of some secret system (which of course always favors someone else) or our rank (which is meaningless). I was also bored with all the talk of AI, whether it's good or bad or will ruin stock forever.

You're right. 

I'm also disappointed that IS had all weekend to run stats and report our lovely Connect Sales: License Fee $0.00276 @ Rate 15%
 Gross royalty $0.00041  👈

I finished all my March Madness brackets, read all the details of Draft Kings, NASCAR and PGA Golf. The weather was cold and windy. Yup, I'm bored.

The statement usually comes in by the 20th. Often it's earlier, but the 20th ist the official date.

I do not know where the info is from, I just remember that that's the date I have read on their website at some point. Thought it might have been their forum, but it looks like iStock followed Shutterstock's lead and took down their forum?

ps Dec was the 18th, Jan was the 18th, Feb was the 16th. Just a note for those with faulty memories, NO it's not usually reported on the 20th. From the official site: "Royalty Statements are published on the 20th of each month. You will see what you have sold and what you have earned and can download that data." And here's the forum that they took down.    https://contributors.gettyimages.com/forum/

Now please IS, I'll be back soon, show me the money?

Fully expect Istock to beat shutterstock this month considering how low SS sales have dropped off lately. Only happened twice before, January and February of 2024.

Good Post ...

I guess I jumped the gun on this. First time ever that I've had "negative sales" on istock and it's a substantial amount. I hope it's a glitch but goddamn, it sucks whatever little enthusiasm I had for this "game".

 "negative sales" ..........same here

wow, was that worth the wait or what?  mine are mostly refunds like reported above.  just a few cents above losing money for the month.

How did you know they were going to be late this month?

Wow and the joke is on me, as I have negative sales too. Hopefully this is a mistake and they will issue the real "earnings" revised report.

why is istock selling my images for negative dollars?  are they stupid?
