Does your $9 RPD include Getty?

No.  Getty RPD is about twice that.

OK, as a % of your BME, how many DL did you get in October?

No reply from Tickstock? Pity, I could have used that information to work out out if I would be better off exclusive.
Just a % of your BME by DL, then I can apply that to our own BME and multiply by $9. (I'm assuming you are on 40%)
Any other exclusives interested? Send a site mail if you like. Thanks!
One person said he has gone from 150 DL per day to 20, which I make 13%. Is that similar for others?

ooooooooohhh boy

You don't see names in the poll, nobody can copy you.

Congrats Andres! And It is good for indies as well. I hope more large volume producers go exclusive.

And they'll get their special contracts with preferred placement. For all the hard work well deserved. I just wonder what the normal istock exclusives think about it, but if they don't shoot the same genre, it won't affect them.

You have a few more assumptions in there.  One is that people are equally likely to post whether they are up or down.  I think that is false if people are doing well they don't want to post because it can lead to copying.

Interesting you use that argument.  People always say the yearly poll or other earnings threads are inaccurate because only the successful want to report their earnings.  The people aren't having a good time and experiencing poor earnings aren't going to care to report anything.

One is anonymous and one isn't.  Maybe this poll is biased towards people who feel good about their earnings?  I don't know, do we have any evidence of that?  You have the best stats, do you see anything that would lead you to believe that?  Maybe less people reporting during the slower summer months or something like that?  There is some evidence that people who are doing well don't post in the iStock thread because they are doing well, at least a few people said that on this forum.

That reasoning is starting to sound like 'schrodinger's cat'.

Is that a real exclusive or the new kind of exclusive?  If he got the new kind of deal he'd be silly to turn it down.

I'm confused.  So far this new "exclusive" only has 1k images on Istock.  Didn't Andres have 10k or more already there?   What happened to the rest of his port?
