Yeah, I'm on about the past few months... probably less than $0.10 to $0.15 when May and June are all wrapped up.

what sells are on there are mainly editorials of specific places/landmarks/businesses, as well as newsworthy content.

Yes, but not always true.  Couple of weeks ago this sold for 3-digits (attached)



It's remote back-country of Banff National Park in Canada.  Takes 2 days of hiking just to get here.  Camped by these lakes in the valley, had all this to myself.   Who needed this kind of photo I am not sure, but apparently there is a market for mountain landscapes on Alamy

Did you Photoshop out some people at the bottom left?

As for getty, this is not a classic stock. This stock sells videos at very low prices.

Yeah, so cheap! Lol

https://www.gettyimages.com/plans-and-pricing

You probably don't sell videos on iStock. Authors who sell know that for 99% of videos, authors receive from 2 to 9 dollars. Basically, the author receives less than 5 dollars.
The prices you indicate possibly may only apply to exclusive content.

If you meant iStock, you probably should have said iStock. But you didn't. And those prices do not only apply to exclusive content, but please, do continue guessing and making stuff up to support your position. We all love it when you do that.

No

Artgrid is Israeli owned.

So it wasn't Taiwan leaving the UN?! Make your mind up!

So... "Biden gave Russian Na.zi putin permission and the green light to occupy and genocide Ukraine" is a factual statement because... Biden said things to Putin, and nobody knows what things he said to Putin, but it's possible that one of the things he might have said to Putin is that 'you have the green light to occupy and genocide Ukraine'?!

I've heard it all now!

So because Trump also said things to Putin that I don't know about, I can also make up absolutely anything and just present it as fact?! This is fun!

Trump should be sent to the electric the chair because, not only did he give the green light to Putin to invade ukraine and commit genocide, he also signed an agreement to work with Russia to develop time travel technology so that the US and Russia could go back in time and eliminate every ukranian that ever existed. They'd then stop ukraine from ever being created in the first place, thus eliminating its very existence.

It also came to light that trump absolutely despises stoker2014, an infamous member in some stock photography/video forum. He said that although he loves the poorly educated, stoker takes things too far, and portrays his fans in a bad light. trump was of the opinion that stoker might be a Biden plant to make him and his supporters look bad.

How do I know all this? Well, trump and Putin have had a bunch of phone calls and meetings over the years, and although I don't know everything they spoke about, they probabaly said all that stuff at some point. So it must be true.

So... answering a question in the off topic section is fine, but answering a question in the off topic section by providing a source for your statements... is off topic?!

which  progressives have ever supported violent offenders? evidence please

The evidence is the entire policy of Biden and the Democrats over the past 4 years.

Be specific.

1. Support for the flow of illegals into the US.
2. No deportation policy.
3. Friendship with totalitarian china.
4. Lifting sanctions against terrorist iran.
5. Inviting putin to attack Ukraine. Biden, even before the full-scale Russian invasion, said many times that russia would not be punished for genocide and the murder of Ukrainians.
6. Ineffective sanctions against Russians.
7. Failure to supply Ukraine with the necessary weapons.
8. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were killed.
9. No policy aimed at terrorists in north korea.
10. No fight against drug cartels that import deadly fentanyl-based drugs into the US.
etc. etc.

1. Support for the flow of illegals into the US.

What support?

2. No deportation policy.

Well they seemed to do pretty well without a policy... deporting more than Trump

3. Friendship with totalitarian china.

Define friendship? What exactly did Biden do that Trump didn't, and vice versa... that somehow indicated friendship?

4. Lifting sanctions against terrorist iran.

Biden implemented more sanctions against Iran than Trump.

5. Inviting putin to attack Ukraine. Biden, even before the full-scale Russian invasion, said many times that russia would not be punished for genocide and the murder of Ukrainians.

How did he 'invite' Putin to attack Ukraine?! I'd be very surprised if he ever said ''russia would not be punished for genocide and the murder of Ukrainians". You got a link for that quote?

6. Ineffective sanctions against Russians.

What would you suggest? What additional sanctions will Trump be implementing?
 
7. Failure to supply Ukraine with the necessary weapons.

What obligation does he have to supply Ukraine with any weapons? Has Ukraine supplied necessary weapons to Isreal and/or Palestine? If not, should Zelenskyy go to the electric chair? If not, why not?
 
8. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were killed.

Did Biden kill them? Surely if they had sufficient weapons already then it wouldn't matter... so they don't have sufficient weapons. Which, logically, means that no world leader has provided sufficient weapons to Ukraine? So do they all need to be executed? Every world leader? Does the fact that Zelenskyy didn't have sufficient weapons in the first place mean that he should be executed?

9. No policy aimed at terrorists in north korea.

You sure about that? Does Trump have a policy aimed at terrorists in North Korea? Did he? Or was it just the odd meeting, handshake, pat on the back, telling the media how much they love each other and then back to business as usual?

10. No fight against drug cartels that import deadly fentanyl-based drugs into the US.

None? So the DEA just sit around playing minesweeper and solitaire in the office all day? The amount of fentanyl seizures doubled under Biden.


I'll ask again... where do you get your 'news' or so called 'facts' from? Is it some crazy Facebook group or weird Youtube channel with the word 'truth' in the name? Do they intersperse their lies with the occasional flat earth and anti-science content?

I see that Getty is acquiring Shuterstock, which means that the Shuterstock board is selling their company. The merger name is nonsense, the letter clearly states that Getty will control everything.
I think that Shuterstock's revenue will fall, and the royalty percentage will be the same as Getty's.
This is bad news.

It's a merger. The letter doesn't clearly state that Getty will control everything. If the Shutterstock board were selling their company, then Shutterstock shareholders wouldn't own 45.3% of the shares of the new company after the merger... and there wouldn't be six Shutterstock board members on the board of the new company. Sure, Getty is getting the better end of the stick, but they're worth more so it makes sense. But hey, just make stuff up as you see fit... it's what we've come to expect by now, and we wouldn't have it any other way.  It's a refreshing reprieve from reality.   

I thought the acting was good and the overall production value was excellent, but the plot was obviously a cunning ploy to elicit sympathy for Ukraine, perpetrated by Donald Trump and JFK Jr.

Why else would Fauci try and get it banned? I mean it's set in 'Georgia' for crying out loud... could they be any more obvious?

And I have a friend who works in a movie theatre and she saw the manager talking to some guy in a black suit and shades handing him a package, then I saw the manager sprinkling some powder on all the popcorn and he told all the staff to keep their mouths shut. When all the customers left they had kind of blank looks on their faces, which is common with mind control drugs. Need I say any more?

I never get 40% commission anymore, it's turned into a myth.

Just imagine you get 40% of the Net License Revenue rather than the list price... and you'll almost always get 40% commission!
 

It's pretty standard when they introduce something new...wait until there's plenty to choose from before announcing it. If they added a png filter straight away, then people would be a bit disappointed if they only got 1, 10 or 100 images to choose from.
