The greedy subjects is what I had in mind as a protest to IS. Uploading more and more of such images, and that's what we will see more in the "newest uploads".  :D

Imagine there's no Getty
It's easy if you try.
No Vetta below us
On Heroturko we'll apply.
Imagine all the shooters
Uploading right away.

Imagine there's no iStock
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to clone or light for
And no exclusives too.
Imagine all the pictures
On our disks in peace.

You may say that I'm a steamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And iStock will be bygone.

I know you know, but maybe someone else doesn't know the quote, "It will happen when pigs can fly."  :D

Thus the "We Care..."

I think you can imagine the scenario?

I really hate to be the stick in the mud, but somewhere there is a grey line and I wonder if this thread is crossing it.

I think iStock's 20% is already pretty stingy and giving some non-exclusives only 15% and the majority 16%-18% just as bad.  And I also think it is great to discuss ways to show our support for the sites who do give us a good commission, such as sending buyers to the sites we support and who give a lot back to the photographer.

But I wonder if a thread like this, where it's only purpose is name calling; even if it is 'management' as a blanket statement, has crossed the line into the unnecessary or inappropriate.... or is it just me.

People need to vent their frustrations, and I think it's okay as long as they're not being defamatory/malicious/libelous.
Humour can go a long way in situations like this - maybe try looking at it in that light.

One of the first Agency images was a slide puzzle with this unicorn barfing a rainbow. At least now I know how it passed inspection. LOL
