No, you're right. You didn't name a person.
It's EU citizens who can't think analytically. 450 million simple-minded people.
It's good that there are clever and analytical people like you two.

But I'll end this here now because I'm very sure that the victims of the LA fires don't deserve such nonsense.

Well. In order to keep citizens dumbed down... A few things they could do would be  to:

a) Flouridate the water (fluoride is toxic waste, a neurotoxin, and makes people apathetic), and say it 'prevents cavitities' to help citizens from thinking anything further.
b) Regularly spray the air with chemicals such as barium, another toxin which makes people apathetic, etc. Chemtrails - but call it contrails and make people feel bubbly inside if they can make fun of someone else and say 'ooh! conspiracy theorist!'. Because then not only does it simultaneously close down their critical thinking skills - but they can't see the truth that is right in front of them.
c) Tax the crap out of them, raise prices on goods/services - such that most citizens just 'barely' have enough to survive, and are focused on living day to day - instead of having time to think. Get them to focus on "vacation" time - so they slave for 50 weeks out of the year (or 48) for a few weeks of "sunshine".
d) Make "fast food", "eating out", etc the go to thing, douse it in rape-seed (aka canola) oil, extremely toxic to the body.
e) Make them so tired/depressed/etc - that all they want to do is go home & watch the movies or "news", "movies" which promote gay/trans/crap for caucasians, abortions/etc...

Get them in a cycle where basically they live most of their life stuck in a loop - and by the time they figure out what is really going on, they are too old or senile to really do anything, and if they try and 'warn' the 'younger generation', the 'younger generation' which has also been convinced by media programming that they are "too hip & too cool" to listen to "seniors" reject the advice, and repeat the cycle all over again...

Oh. Wait a sec.

Yeah, that's what they are doing.

And... you've fallen into the same trap.

Try:
a) Drinking non-fluoridated water for about 3-4 weeks (no tap water, get it filtered).
b) Eat fruits/vegetables - ideally organic, that haven't been sprayed/injected/etc with various poisons. Heck, grow your own food if you can.
c) Turn off the t.v. for a month (VERY hard to do - because there are specific patents designed not only to make the programming addictive, but the 'way' the television works with refresh rates/HZ is designed to be addictive).
d) Cut out refined sugar for a couple weeks (no drinking/pastries/pasta/etc).

If you can do that - you might clear out some of your brain fog.

As it is though - sounds like you will continue to believe what "your masters" tell you on the t.v., that is - until you realize they are not "your master" and you actually are capable of clear, indepedent thought - which "they" are scared of you doing.

Try it seriously though.

rank is stable at pos 2710, files 7500

if there was a non ai glitch my sales were unaffected on Friday. It was actually a good day and most of the sales from the us time zone

Well, we'll see.

I hope it picks up for me.

Granted - end of Dec/beginning Jan tends (at least from experience) seems to be a bit slower, so I hope next week improves significantly.

At the moment, my weekly income from Adobe was about 1/2 of what I was expecting it to be.

New York city sprays pesticide minimize new virus spread.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEadv0nJsXr

Hahaha...

Your "view"/belief is "inverted".

The "virus" IS "the spray". "The Spray" Is "The Virus".

If indeed New York is being "sprayed" - THAT is what makes people sick. NOT a "magical particle".

Same thing happened in the 1960's with DDT spray.

"Covid-19" was/is CAUSED by "wearing the masks, shoving a stick up your brain, injecting yourself with random poison".

THAT is what "Covid-19" (aka CON-vid) was.

THAT is how people "got sick".

Not from a "magical particle" that could count the # of people @ a table ("6" people or less), could only "travel" a certain distance (6' or less), or could not "attack" when people were sitting down (6' or less). (BTW, the pyschos who organized it believe in satanism, so love repeating the #6 in case you hadn't noticed that).

"Viruses" - aka "illnesses" are CAUSED by injections ("affectionately" referred to as "vaccines", "deathjabs", "poisonpricks", "clotshots", etc are actually better names for what they are). The illnesses (people refer to as "viruses") are CAUSED by "wearing masks" (sprayed with various poisons for you to breathe in EVERY SECOND you wear one). The illnesses are CAUSED by shoving a stick up your nose to touch your brain... (did you EVER wonder why if supposedly "the virus" was "so deadly" that you needed to wear a "mathsk" at all times lest you BREATHE on someone - yet - to see if you were "ill" you needed to shove a stick up your head to scratch your brain?)

YOU WERE LIED TO. IT MADE SOME PEOPLE VERY RICH.

YOU ARE STILL BEING LIED TO.

GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

Apparently, there are things called "DEWs" ("directed energy weapons"), essentially "starlink" (or things like it), etc are weaponized to laser heat houses and burn them down. Apparently the same thing that happened in Hawaii. Purpose is for "land re-allocation" (i.e., kicking residents off their land), so some specific "rich" people can purchase the land cheap. Also - apparently if one has a blue house top (i.e., painted blue), the targeting software prevents the laser from burning it, in addition to the (blue) material painted on the rooftops being highly reflective material in the same wavelength as the laser light, thus 'reflecting' it.

Might be worth looking into more.

The owners of motionarray (an isralie company) seem to be about lying, and thieving. They "demanded" people agree to a new contract, "promising" more sales (but in essence were licensing content cheap, selling "ai" data), now they talk about stealing more money from people...

Den of thieves.

AI future is warfare , transportation, and healthcare
Particularly macro bots that will be available in next 5 years to be injected in to your bloodstream to monitor personalized for your needs health issues to prevent problems. Life saving and even delayed aging will be possible with AI macro bots. (For those who don�t want to use AI in your healthcare, don�t do Invisiline or crowns, since scan is done with AI for several years already, etc.)

What do you think the convid shots were for? People (in general) needed to manipulated somehow to being injected with a poison for a non-existant 'virus' (ppl got 'sick' from the masks/PPE/ramming a stick up their nose to touch their brain, not an imaginary 'virus' that could count the # of ppl at a table and knew if you were sitting or standing up in a restaurant)... the funny thing is - it wasn't really designed to "prevent" health issues, but rather to "control" them, track them, manipulate them... the "anti-aging" stuff is "not" for your benefit (unless you are a good 'worker' slave, and "they" want you to "live longer" so you can be a slave longer/working longer - people aren't supposed to have to "work". it is a construct.).  (read up on things like microsoft patent 2020-060606, more recently, or look into companies like profusa with their 'bionsensors", etc). If you got a shot, you already HAVE had stuff injected into your bloodstream. "Side effects" (which are actually deliberate "effects" of the shots) appear simply be because some bodies of people can't, or won't, adapt/accept the tech/biological wires/etc that were injected into them. It was, still is, poison.

Smart AI macro bots will be able to boost your IQ up to 100 times and you can finish 12 grades or PHD in a year or less, learn a new language in a day, etc.. Unfortunately, macro bots will further increase the difference of income, since not everyone will be able to afford them. So it�ll be wealthy people who will make a lot of money with their careers when macro bots will come out.

Actually, from all appearances - what happened (esp. last 4 years) - is it actually seems designed to LIMIT people's intelligence... the small group of people who manipulated most of the world don't really want "smart" people - they want obedient monkeys that can push buttons... if they can "think" - then the small group feels threatened - because they manipulate people in general through fear, money printing, etc (they don't actually "do" anything, just tell other ppl what to do).

You actually can become conversant in a language within a month (I've done it) - just the "standard" education that is taught in schools is not designed to "make" you intelligent, but rather give you the "feeling" of being "intelligent". In general you are rewarded for how well you MEMORIZE things ("historical facts", "equations", "formulas", etc) - NOT how well you can think/reason/etc. That's part of how "well how many DEGREES do you have" was used to try and "shut down" arguments - as if someone "with" a degree was bestowed with "divine intelligence" (by mere fact of "having" a degree, which they weren't). On top of that, many people in universities don't actually even "earn" their degrees either - but copy from others, fudge #'s, passed via "bell curves" to keep the "status quo", etc, etc. (And lol - I am actually speaking as someone who 'earned' degrees - I saw a lot of people who were dumb as f___).

People use to cling to old technology like rotary phones, and said they didn�t need a mobile or smartphone, yet who is using pagers now?

Actually... 30 years ago - you were considered wealthy if you "had" a cellphone. Now, you are considered wealthy if you "don't" have a cellphone.

PS: I can draw perfect classical hands and teach you to do that, in case AI will fail 😉 if China and Russsia will stop exporting the rare minerals that needed for AI chip production or US will not reopen nuclear power plants that are needed for massive AI computing.

A lot of the "supply chain" stuff is utter nonsense... it was more a "shock test" (by the people controlling the banks) to see how people would react/what they would do. There is ample supply, there is no "supply chain shortage", never was, still isn't. There is, however - manipulation/redirection/etc designed to try and frighten/scare people, and manipulate stock prices/manipulate companies, make them cheap to buy for cents on the dollar then 'miraculously' they are revived.

Wrong yes.
Expected? Yes.  Once Shutterstock took over it was inevitable.  And more to come.

Cant do anything about it other than stop submitting.  P5/SS wont care. Buyers wont care.  Nothing will change negatively for them.

The most 'obvious' would be if people 'en masse' either removed their portfolios, or stopped submitting (although there is a lot more east indian spam making up for the slack, so not sure that would make a huge difference)... The 'en masse' thing didn't seem to work for shitterstock when they announced their 'good news' (for the execs, of course)...

Hmm... can you think of anything else other than those two things?

As it is - yes, I stopped submitting to shitterstock a while back... For pond, haven't really submitted too much the last year because it was super odd - I had spent a month working/curating videos/etc - and then after doing a relatively large batch - income actually went "down" I think it was like 90% which was rather shocking, and all the support said is "oh, here's a random article on SEO" (irrelevant, didn't answer the question, and not really helpful at all)...

Anyways, this latest cut - well, I'll see - I might start removing some clips.

Basically - the title SHOULD have been "The executives at shitterstock decided to buy a new yacht. It's coming out of your royalities. Happy Hannukah!"

blackboxglobal, a distribution agency and community

Okay, that's what I thought... They basiclaly just distribute to the video sites for you on your behalf, correct?

My concern with them was:
a) What happens if you accidentally upload duplicate content? (I.e., say you submit via them, somehow forget that you did, then submit via your own account, or vice-versa)
b) To me - it "seems" they are in a little bit of a precarious position - "because" they are submitting on behalf of a LOT of people - potentially they could get east indian/south asian spammers that simply steal someone's portfolio, get's 'submitted' via bbg - and then jeopardizes the entire bbg account... (if I remember correctly, wasn't their actually a post that said bbg HAD gotten 'banned' temporarily because of something, or maybe they didn't?) that being said - they've been around I think for a couple years now? if they didn't (already) get banned, I'm surprised they don't appear to have had that happen yet... But - maybe they were smart and contacted the agencies to let them know what they were doing (so in case that happens, their entire account doesn't get 'banned').

As an aside:
a) How do you get paid/what payment methods are available? (I didn't see that on the site).
b) Interesting its in Ontario, Canada (at least according to the legalese).

Thanks all....I resolved my issue.

How did you resolve it? (Did you actually find it somewhere within Adobe?) Thanks!

I have a few thousand assets there (video + pictures), and strangely enough,
(a) never made a sale/they never informed me of a sale
(b) the support is virtually non-existant, and if you somehow do get through to someone, its extremely rigid (like talking to "ai", except the "ai chats" even though they are super dumb, are better than the so-called "support").
(c) parts of their websites seem broken that they still haven't fixed.
(d) been there when they were a 'brand new' website (before they new interface), so I think at least 6-7+ years...

So, no, I wouldn't recommend it...

Hmm. Yeah. I had the teaser of close to that amount... and then... nada. While I didn't (necessarily) expect ALL of them to be accepted, I thought maybe around 10% or so, so thought maybe I'd get a couple grand... instead... nada. Hmm...

Hmm... with about 1.500 nominated you got 0 selected?
That is strange indeed...

Yes, more specifically - it seems only the ones from the previous year got accepted. In my (online) panel it said "you COULD be making close to $10k in FREE ASSETS!" so I thought okay, I'll see what gets accepted so nominated them all. And then (just) got an e-mail now saying 'yep, here's the nominated assets' (under $100 total).
