Nevertheless, I still find it astonishing that there are people who consider climate change to be a lie.
Where did you see such people in this thread? In my first message I wrote about climate change.
Climate change is only one scenario, one of the possible ones.
But it is convenient for the Europarasites to think that catastrophes only happen because of natural phenomena. You live in a bubble of lies and misinformation, and you don’t even know that you are in the epicenter of the hot phase of World War III. You don’t even know that World War III is going on. So of course you have only one answer to any catastrophe, the answer that was shoved into your head by the “democrats”. At the same time, these “democrats” are very well enriched and steal money on the topic of “fighting” climate change, fighting a star called the sun.  ;D ;D ;D
But I'm glad that President Trump thinks this "fight" is nonsense and is no longer wasting US taxpayer money on it.

Why is it that conspiracy theorists always have this annoying habit of latching onto every new disaster or event like they know everything about it...?
1. Where did you see conspiracy theories in this thread?
2. If you personally have nothing to say on the topic, it doesn't mean that other people are as ignorant as you.
3. Such disasters should be investigated.
4. In this thread, I see a description of possible scenarios.

The Internet is not the place to disclose your personal data.
A lot is known about me, I shoot videos and a few photos. This information is enough for questions and answers.
I did not suggest that you publish the address of your YouTube channel here (although usually the owners of these channels like to do this).
You were asked a simple question, to indicate approximate figures. Especially since you yourself raised this question.

He had a crack at my thread about monetizing a drone YouTube channel - which btw is actually my best performing platform this month.
How many subscribers do you have and how many views does one video have?  ???

Post a screen image of your weekly rank and revenue for Adobe Stock on the 'What's your weekly ranking and how many images' (link below) then I'll post a screen image of my YouTube Channel Analytics for 28 days which includes current numbers of subscribers, number of subscribers added in last 28 days, number of views + watch time (hours) + estimated revenue for the last 28 days. I'll even throw in my weekly rank and earnings on Adobe which is a bit low this week for good measure. C'mon bro, let's see some of that Ukrainian talent.

Considering your unfriendly and aggressive tone, as well as your lack of response to the question on the topic you raised, we can conclude that I was right.
 ::)

If your channel can be easily found on YouTube, then I could of course go to your channel, see the number of subscribers and see how many views your drone videos have. But this question is not my area of ​​professional interest, it is also possible that you are hiding your channel, and the lack of an answer from you to a simple question confirms my previous assumptions.
 ;D ;D ;D

I also want to say that you are trolling.

Stocker2014 criticizes everything. He's previously criticized the use of using drones for microstock which alone has earned me 1000s of dollars.
I don't remember that. You dreamed it.  ;D

Yet another reason why Canada should accept President Trump's offer to become the 51st state of the United States.
Canada does not have the resources to fight forest fires. Global warming is happening on planet Earth.

I also do not rule out diversion by the Russians or China.

I'm only aware of your fervent enthusiasm to give your contents to Adobe's free offer in the hope you might make a couple of bucks.  ;D     
Any money doesn't lie around on the street. That's why I take all the money that stock agencies give me.
This topic started with the author of the topic writing about her income from selling photos. I asked clarifying questions.  :)

Buyers *reporting* this on Trustpilot - if you look at the comments that is what they are saying.
So I ask you, why the deception?

I disagree. The forum was created to share information.

A lot of buyers reporting they are being tricked into monthly subscription payments by signing up for a free trial.

Eurovision is a JOKE FESTIVAL. This is why great performers do not go. Trash songs, trash music, and in most cases, trash performers.
And that is even modestly expressed. ;D
It is obvious that hansenn and DigitalPro live in countries that did not even make it into the top 10 in Eurovision.
 ;D ;D ;D

$560 is my net for a single print sale.
Then it is unclear what your prices are for one photo. As I understood from your website, the price for a photo does not exceed $250. If you receive a net profit of $560, it is obvious that the buyer paid more than $560 for your photo.
Now nothing is clear from what you write, and it is also unclear how much you earn on average per month from selling your photos in all agencies (including stock).
Of course, talking about video does not make sense yet. If your monthly income level has 4-digit numbers, then photography is a profitable business for you and you do not need to waste time on video.

but I still got over US$560.
So, what I read about the author.
"Charline Xia. One of her exhibitions was sponsored by and held at Steam Whistle Art Gallery in Toronto. Her photos have been published by many major public and private entities including the United Nations, Parks Canada, Forbes, The Globe and Mail, Linux, Canadian Geographic Magazine and many many others globally."

I apologize, of course, but for a photographer of this level, an income of $ 560 is very little. And as I understand it, you usually earn less.

 ???

I'll give you some advice, ditch your photography, shoot videos, you'll earn more dollars.
 ;D ;D ;D

Hey Folks,

For some reason I cannot get my FTP setup correctly for Adobe. Do you guys know if your password is the same as your regular password to login the contributor account or some special password they provided to us? Also do they use the SFTP only not FTP?

Thanks
SFTP

The password is generated in the FTP account. Everything is clearly written there.

Shutterstock stopped showing to buyers what codec the video was shot in and what fps the video has. This is unacceptable.

Ukrainian terrorism on European Union soil is not a good thing for Ukraine. Ukrainians have killed an ukraininan politician linked to Russia:
You do not have a Spanish court decision to draw such conclusions. These are also narratives of Russian propaganda.
In fact, we have:
1. Murder of a Ukrainian citizen on Spanish territory.
2. Zero efficiency of the Spanish police. The killers have not been detained.
3. The conversation is not about the identity of the deceased, but about the fact that bad events are happening in Spain in various areas.

If you don't know him yet, you should take a look at his pictures.
I apologize, of course, but who are you writing to? If I follow your logic, then the thought arises to advise you to look at the paintings that Hitler painted. They say he painted very well with watercolors. He was a good painter. Of course, such comparisons are very conditional, but they have a right to exist.

Concealment and non-documentation of war crimes and genocide of Russian orcs, Na.zis, the DPRK, China, Iran and Belarus is assistance to terrorists.
Salgado was a leftist with socialist convictions. He never condemned the crimes of the Russians anywhere.

What is there to be sad about? He can only be congratulated, not everyone is given the chance to live to 81. Many die before they even reach 60. A person who dies at his age is a lucky person who got lucky.

As for his contribution to photography, I believe that he did not cover the third world war, the hot phase of which has been going on in Ukraine since 2014. Where was he with his camera all these years? Where?
He photographed the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, but for some reason decided to ignore and pass by the genocide in Ukraine.

Therefore, I believe that he lived the last 11 years of his life in vain. And did not give the world what he was destined for.

Realmente eres un ignorante de la musica española, Melody es una artista conocida en España desde pequeña y es musica que agrada a los españoles. De vez en cuando si que enviamos a gente random para reirnos del concurso.


Spain! Say straight out that you are not happy with the last place at Eurovision!
 ;D ;D ;D

The songs that Spain sends that are truly bad and unrepresentative of Spanish music have a purpose, which isn't to win the contest. Spain's main industry is party tourism, beach tourism, and disco tourism. Spanish songs are only intended to remind Germans, English, and Dutch people that they can come to our beaches to spend their euros drinking sangria and watching scantily clad girls dance. Yes, it's tacky and vulgar, but money is money.

So it turns out that Spain cannot compete with other countries in terms of the quality of its songs, but at the same time it pursues an aggressive policy.
Why was it necessary to attack Israel even before the contest, as if the Spanish know what is going on there. I think that Spain has a bad attitude towards Israel, and this has been going on since the Middle Ages.
But, it is even more unclear why attack Ukraine?
I am very puzzled by Spain's policy, it is aggressive and unfair. And this is despite the fact that Spain took almost the last place in Eurovision. Are the Spanish really such envious people?

I have not participated and will not participate in the free collection. No free work from me.

Contributors, be very careful about this offer. Do not fall into the 10 dollar trap, if you want to continue selling your work in the future.
You can continue to sell these photos or videos on other sites.

As for WHY shutterstock doesn't do anything... My guess is because they don't care - and they get more $$$.
They only care if it affects their $$$.
If the authors sued SS and filed huge claims, I think SS would start working.
