How long until Pond5 is paying Shutterstock prices?    I wouldn't be surprised if the old P5 prices go away soon.

I had two HD sales today (priced at $45) that earned $1.20 each.

So my answer would be, they're already there.

Pond has been selling better since joining Shutterstock.

I haven't seen one ounce of improvement. The only thing I've seen at Pond 5 is about 50% of my sales for a few dollars.

Multiple 4k sales at P5 in one day, but why can't I be happy about that?

Pond 5 is very happy to give out discounts and paying those out of your pocket.

I just went to upload some files and there was a popup with New Contributor Agreement and a date that looked like February. I uploaded the files, now the notification is gone. Searching for new contributor agreement, I find nothing. Doing the chat bot, it says there are no plans to change anything. Did anyone read that before it disappeared?

I had a quick look at it (in particular commissions for video) and nothing there appeared different (ie: Non-exclusive 40% and exclusive 60%). Don't know about other content as I don't upload anything but video.
