Same for me!

yes

Same here. Plenty of small sales, but nothing that adds up to real earnings.

My last sale was on 22/12. I normally sell multiple videos per day, so something appears to be wrong—at least in my case.

Same—but the industry is changing fast, and I'm focused on adapting while continuing to build my life in it.

Nailed it! I asked to be part of it months ago, but nothing ever came of it.

Worst month in 10 years. Completely ridiculous: 22 videos sold out of a 15,000-video portfolio.
Maybe they're just waiting for my downgrade to Level 1 to turn sales back on 🤷‍♂️

Full time here. No Ai, only videos.
#11
Exactly the same for me! I've never seen such a drop before! Very scary...
#12
Same thing once again. Long time waiting... Anyone else?

Hello,

After nearly a decade away from iStock, I recently decided to start uploading videos again. However, I've been experiencing a high number of rejections for various reasons — some of which I respectfully disagree with.
On Shutterstock, it's common practice to re-upload files after a rejection, and they are often accepted upon re-inspection. I'd like to know if the same approach is acceptable on iStock. Is it normal practice to re-submit previously rejected files for another review?

It's been over 15 days since I've been unable to upload or download .CSV files. I was told the issue is being worked on... but nothing has changed.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

#16
I didn't receive the email, which I believe is why my sales have dropped significantly. I've never experienced such low earnings on the platform before

Well, I've been a contributor for 12 years, with a solid portfolio of 15,000 videos. It took nearly six months for my application to be accepted.

Hello,

I am new in Storyblocks. i wonder if it's normal that my top clips are not showing on my dashboard anymore. It's been about 2weeks...
#22
YES!!!
P5 is completely DEAD too
#23
I've joined MediaCastPro about two years ago, back when it was still free to upload content. Despite uploading thousands of videos, I have never sold a single one, which seems quite strange.

@synthetick - That's right, they don't accept AI, but Shutterstock has it's on Ai generated content that is obviously trained on top of our content.
Yes, Adobe banned me and stole my earnings from last month and trained AI images compensation.

Thank you for your honesty!

I'm uncertain about this agency, which is why I'd appreciate hearing a contributor's perspective.

Currently, I work with Pond5 and Shutterstock, but I no longer work with Adobe. I'm actively searching for other options to sell my videos and trying to avoid "all-you-can-download" agencies.
