...We are in the PP, but no bestsellers nor vetta go there.I still don't see whats wrong with it. what the difference between the PP and Shutterstock ?
Quote from: aeonf on June 23, 2011, 18:23Why should I assist Getty in taking business from Shutterstock which pays me a better rate?Because Getty will always have customers no matter how well Shutterstock does. And because of the critical mass concept there will always be enough contributors at Getty to support their collection. So why not have your images there? I know the idealogs will tell contributors not to sell their stuff there because it is a disservice to the whole industry but, like I said, that critical mass momentum will simply crush that ideology. It can't be stopped or greatly influenced by a few pulling out. You will never convince everyone to pull out. Human nature (money) dictates that. So knowing that one can make $50 or $100 or $200 a month extra in a system where ideology will never mean squat is incentive enough in my opinion.

Also note that the new summer "Woo-Yay" thread has a total of zero posts so far.

Lobo has killed off the forums. For no reason, really: he is not acting responsibly when you consider the contributors he locks out are paying his salary. There is really no reason for him to have a job at iStockphoto. It's a giant slam to the people who carry the weight. Occasionally, a thread needs to be stopped, but he abuses the job in a really serious way. Inexcusable. The management is looking really bad to leave him at that post. He needs to go get a job at Burger King.
