This is the second time I've gotten this. Anyone else? Obviously, I've sold a file or two previously, lol.

Dear Exclusive Artist, This July, we will begin a short-term test on new price tiers for HD and 4K clips to simplify purchasing and appeal to buyers with frequent licensing needs. We continually test and improve our marketplace to offer buyers the best possible experience and drive increased content licensing. These include pricing tests, which have historically excluded your Exclusive content. However, to see the full effects of this change, we feel that its critical to include Exclusive content in this experiment. One of our primary missions at Pond5 is to help our artists thrive. Our success is dependent on your success. As the royalty-free stock licensing market changes, more competitors emerge, including several offering unlimited subscriptions at low prices. We must consider adjusting our pricing model to meet the needs of todays buyers. You are not required to take any action, and we will keep you informed of any long-term changes planned as a result of this test. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact our Support team at [email protected]. Thank you, as always, for being a valued part of our community.

Im guessing the opt out doesnt include AI training. From todays email about changes 3. Use of Stock Media to develop and improve Canvas products & services: Weve included new terms and conditions that allow Canva or its third-party service providers to use Stock Media to develop and improve products and services, including through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The same thing happened to motion graphics templates last month, and my sales were decimated. Glad I didn't spend more time working on those.  "We are writing to let you know about important upcoming price tier updates for all Adobe Stock video clips. On a rolling basis starting March 9, 2022, HD video clips will be available to license as part of Adobe Stock subscriptions (25 credits per month or larger), providing stock customers a simplified offering that includes standard images, templates, 3D, and audio tracks. There is no change to the current royalty rate. While there is no change to the current royalty rate, you may still notice a decrease in the per-video license royalty payments as HD videos will be available to subscription customers at a range of discounts, depending on the customers plan. 4K videos will be available to subscription customers at a 20% discount. The current Adobe Stock royalty rate (35%) will stay the same, based on the price per clip. And HD and 4K video pricing will remain the same for all on-demand clips and for credit packs. To find details about royalties from subscription plans visit our Royalties page. "

Stocksy admins notified us that 123RF had a data breach today, and that people have been trying to login to Stocksy with those credentials.
"This morning we were made aware that the stock photo site 123RF experienced a security breach in which millions of usernames and passwords were stolen. There have now been malicious attempts to use these stolen credentials to login to Stocksy accounts."
Further, it suggests changing passwords that use that same username and password at other locations.

The DT upload page looks like it has changed, and I'm unable to drag images to the target. It works ok in Chrome.
Just me?
ETA: Ah, f*ck, the edit image page no longer works with my greasemonkey script.
ETAA: This new interface is going to keep me from uploading there.

Trying to submit and I'm getting all kinds of new warning boxes, like my description matches my title, or it isn't long enough, or "Congratulations" on my unique title, and it seems to be taking my description and adding those words to my keywords...

Just checking to see if anyone else had this happen. I had a payment from Pond5 today. However the amount I can withdraw is exactly $45 less than the amount sent.
