I doubt they will fold, they sell a lot, it's just we don't see much because it's spread too thin.

Sounds good? Maybe they are selling your images offline without your knowledge. No one will give full backup at no extra cost.
There is a server cost associated and nothing in this world comes for free.

1) Any microstock site can sell our images without our knowledge…………
2) If you upload your images to Mostphotos guess where they go: on their servers, like any other sites.
3) But unlike other microstock sites they offer you the possibility to download back your full res images.
4) As the images are already hosted on their servers I dont see where is the added cost here.

I had 500 images with them and no sale for one year. I closed my account. Not worth my time.

1) Any microstock site can sell our images without our knowledge………… Agree but, a good and established agencies will never do so. There is difference in some sale, rare sale and no sale. Mostphotos is giving you likes with no sale, so question is where is money coming from?.
2) If you upload your images to Mostphotos guess where they go: on their servers, like any other sites..... The server bandwidth, data storage, ram, hosting is never for free, there is lot of resources needed to keep everything standing. And when there is lot of images the cost increases.
3) But unlike other microstock sites they offer you the possibility to download back your full res images... I really like this feature but just for this feature risking all your portfolio is not good, I have closed my account with them. You have many other secured options for this.
4) As the images are already hosted on their servers I dont see where is the added cost here... Same at point #2

They have NEVER sold anything for me even when times were good. I doubt it is customer related. MP has been a lowest of low tier agency for years. There's a reason for that and it isn't having plenty of customers spread amongst floods of images that makes them low tier.
