We should make an awards ceremony dedicated to our favorite stock agencies.

same sh*t here ... zero downloads in 10 days ... before Shitterstock i was at 350-400usd a month ..
let's thank Shitterstock for the great destructive work done on pond5 ...

what i wonder is where those sales have gone. my hunch is demand for stock video isn't down, it's just the sales volume on pond5 appears almost gone. the only place i sell video reasonably well is adobe even if the revenue is low.

If that's the case, I wonder where the editorial video sales have gone.

I'm still trying to decide whether the underwater stuff should be commercial or editorial, but I feel like editorial on Shutterstock and the same stuff on Adobe and iStock can be sold as commercial. From what I understand, the commercial stuff on Shutterstock CANNOT be used as editorial, so i'll go both ways on separate platforms.

Underwater of what? If its just fish, reef etc then its RF (commercial). If its got divers in without a release and/or logos on their clothing, equipment etc which you wont get a release for then its editorial.

You get the same money for both but RF has more uses than editorial (it can be used commercially or editorially if the buyer wants).

Same here - 2 downloads in 2025 with about 5.000 Videos.
At least for me Pond5 seems to be a dead horse...

Same. I have about 1,600 videos and over 3,500 images. The thing is once SS bought them, I stopped getting sales. I was making $1500 a year until only two years ago after the sale.
