Has anyone heard of Vault Stock? Just saw their promotion on Instagram. They have 25k followers.

Here is their website and contributor application:

Someone really think that this is a "fair trade" agency?
"We can't wait to....." - sell your assets and pay you a few cents?
They do not even have their own platform, but use Instagram.
Honestly I do not know what that agency is, but it does not look like the agency we have all been waiting for.

looks like at least as low as ~$33/mo for unlimited downloads.
How much do you think you would make as a contributor out of that?

Looks like they're aiming at the Millennial and Gen Zs market. Kind of a cross between Creative Market and a stock agency. Going through their site, a lot of their images have heavy film grain and ultra millennial-trend aesthetics and filters. Plus a lot of Canva pre-designed stuff, so I am guessing they're targeting that much younger designer market.
At first, I thought they were a brand-new agency, but then I noticed they had 25K followers - compare that to say, Dreamstime on Instagram with 27k followers.
It's not for me because I already upload exclusively to another agency, but I was curious and wanted to know if anyone had heard of them. I don't expect much in regard of commissions from agencies anymore unless you contribute to the higher priced premium ones who target specifically high-quality buyers. It's a sign of the times, I guess. The average buyer is now used to much lower prices and special deals. Or free with AI, and freebie agencies.
So, is this the new type of agency that will be seeing more of? With focus specifically for a younger market? It would be interesting to see how this sort of marketing trend progresses.
