My point is, I get a much fairer commission at Alamy and Fotolia (and do great there each month), and their sign-up requirements didn't spit in my face. Therefore, Alamy and Fotolia earned my business. I am currently visiting review sites and informing new artists where the real money is and where the corporate greed and lack of ethics are. I and others remember that we, the artists, control the success or failure of these sites, not the other way around. By informing people, we will see to it that fair and ethical sites succeed and greedy, dishonest sites get edged out. I've steered several people away from SS in favor of the truly profitable sites and they have thanked me and are spreading the word themselves. This will result in more sign-ups at other sites, which in turn will mean more profit for those sites. This will result in better ratings and reviews, resulting in still more sign-ups, which will ultimately snowball. Pond5 has left its stock video market competitors in the dust and the gap is only growing. This is due to positive word of mouth, which in turn is due to fair commissions and an easy, non-nazi sign-up procedure. I and others are the reason for this, because we constantly post on the review sites and report who's screwing us artists over and who isn't. You SS fanboy hoop-jumpers that don't mind making $20 a month for weeks of work can save your keystrokes, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to people that value their time and trouble and remember how much time they spent studying and how much they spent on their gear. I'm talking to people that don't enjoy a constant corporate erection in their anus. The rest of you should just stay bent over and save some wear and tear on your keyboard. That is all.
