How is PressFoto ?
alexandersr:
Hi, someone has ports in PressFoto, i only know this.
PressFoto is a Russian stock image agency
We sell royalty free images, vector graphics and video footages which you can use in literally any project imaginable. We license content for marketing campaigns, for commercial and non-commercial usage, for goods packaging, interior design and of course for websites illustration. Our library consists of millions of files many of which are unique and available only on our website.

I can't help you with information about sales there - I'd never heard of them before your post.
I did go and look at the site though, and for me, the biggest no-go is that they don't read metadata from uploaded files - you have to provide it in a separate file or enter it on the site.
https://submit.pressfoto.com/documents.html?doc=meta
Another big missing piece is what they actually pay. Front page says "up to" 50% and the ranks page has a useless table with how much each rank is paid in USD (40¢ to 70¢) but without knowing prices, who knows what that means
https://submit.pressfoto.com/documents.html?doc=ranks
The contributor agreement says 50% of net revenue goes to the contributor for on demand sales (i.e. PressFoto deducts any currency or other fees first before doing the split) and for subscriptions, it's a share of the pool of revenue. Does not mention a minimum (unless that's what the ranks table is trying to say)
https://www.pressfoto.com/pricing
I'm guessing if they were selling well we'd have heard something here.
Monkey Business Images, Pressmaster, and Wavebreak Media (though Zoonar) are there, for what that's worth., but they seem to be everywhere :)
On an unrelated note, they have 22,000 free files on Freepik
https://www.freepik.com/pressfoto
I think the contributor has the choice about whether to offer free files (but I can't imagine why one site would help another site build traffic via freebies - how does that help PressFoto?)

No one in their right mind would use Russian agency for their portfolio.
