No royalty statements yet, but just a heads-up that the Downloads tab is now showing November downloads.

Thank you!
I am always amazed how some really old files from 2005 are still selling today.
istock is top priority for 2024. I am really curious if my old port can be activated.

I still only see October. Guess they're rolling out to contributors in phases.

I think what the OP was saying was Content Statistics > Downloads = https://esp.gettyimages.com/app/stats/downloads are showing Nov. now but ESP Royalty downloads are still listing Oct.
I assume now, we won't see this until Monday the 18th.

Is it worth it to upload videos to istock? Or best just stick with SS, AS, and pond5 ? I often read that the sales are low value, but if it adds to the bottom line, why not.

I just checked my video downloads in 2023 for the video sites - maybe this helps you a little:
- IStock - RpD $3,09 - Revenue 33.21%
- ShutterStock - RpD $14,25 - Revenue 32.05%
- AdobeStock - RpD $9,87 - Revenue 25.90%
- Pond5 - RpD $13,32 - Revenue 5,99%
- DepositPhotos - RpD $8,09 - Revenue 1,82%
- Dreamstimes - RpD 5,09 - Revenue 0,57%
So in my case IStock has the lowest RpD, but a lot of videos sales which makes it the highest revenue site.
Pond5, Deposit, Dreamstime (in my case) are just a waste of time.
But those numbers may by completely different for other people with higher quality videos then mine :-)

Thank you that information is beneficial.
I wonder if others have similar results.

I presume there's a better way, but the only way I know is to click on my name on one of my photos which takes me to my port. Make sure you have all aplicable types of files ticked and then your number will be at the top of the page. Then you can bookmark your portfolio in your browser, but on previous experiences, it suddenly stops working, not sure if that's a browser issue or an iS issue.
Hopefully, someone will be able to tell you a less clunky way...

Thank you
