For 10 days in March I have seen a very strong decrease in the number of downloads of my videos. What statistics does anyone have for this period?

Yes Topaz Ai leaves tags however in Vegas Pro you can clear these tags after saving in ProRes codec without setting etc.
I doubt there is technology that detects if an image has been enhanced in Ai programs and how edited.
If you go down the path of violating stock requirements and trying to fool them, I think this is not the right path. Good luck to you!

I wouldn't risk using Topaz AI in my workflow. It's very easy to get your account banned on stocks. It's not worth it.

There are several ways to convert PDF to EPUB. Here are some popular tools:
Calibre
Calibre is a free and powerful eBook management program that also supports conversion between many formats, including PDF to EPUB.
Adobe Acrobat Pro also allows you to export PDF to various formats, including EPUB.
Sigil is a free EPUB editor. It provides convenient tools for editing existing EPUB files, improving the structure and formatting of the book.
If you want to create a high-quality eBook, with a well-adapted format for reading on devices e-books, EPUB is the best choice.
But your existing option is also good. Adding more buyers who read only on e-books is already your choice.

I uploaded my PDF to their Kindle Create app, and it turned it into a special format .kpf file that I then uploaded to the Kindle Direct webpage.
More about this here:

I read and realized that Amazon now sells books not only for e-books, but also for tablets and applications. Your book is available for reading only on Kindle Fire and Kindle Apps, this is what you wrote there. I also couldn't find the option to buy your book in paper form, the product page doesn't have the option you attached in your post. But if Amazon can create a printed book itself and send it to the buyer, this is good for you. However, it is not clear what is more profitable, to print it yourself or to have Amazon print it. If you want your book to be read on e-books, you need to upload it to Amazon in EPUB or DOCX format. In this case, Amazon will be able to convert them to AZW3 format for e-books Kindle.

So what format do you have uploaded to Amazon under the name Kindle? If you uploaded a pdf file there, then write that it is a pdf file, and not a format for e-books.
You can probably sell pdf format on Amazon. And perhaps you dont have to sell mobi format for e-books on Amazon. But if you can convert your pdf format to mobi format, then you can also upload mobi format under the category book for e-books (Kindle).
Thus, your ad can consist of three versions of your book:
1. pdf format.
2. mobi format.
3. Paper book.

It has a LOT of full color photos, plus a lot of special formatting, every page is designed for a handbook format - with visual impact - not a textbook. See a couple of sample pages attached. Even just uploading them here I had to shrink them down a LOT.
All e-books are black and white. Kindle, of course, released one color model, but few people have it. Therefore, you do not need to insert color photos into the mobi format, and especially large ones. The size of an e-book is only 6-7 inches, the screen resolution is HD at best. If you have a regular e-book, see how your book works on it. Few people are interested in using visual impact on an e-book. I dont even know if this works in the mobi format. In general, the size of your book for Kindle should be up to 10 MB. You can also sell pdf format and a paper book in the same ad. Each option may have a different price. The philosophy of e-books is not about quality. E-books are used to quickly obtain information and quickly access information. Also, e-books are very slow, they have little RAM and little disk memory. Your book with a size of 750 MB will open on such e-book for 10 minutes, and leafing through it will be sheer hell.

Good decision, now a lot of people will see your book. They won't necessarily buy it, but they will definitely find out about it. Kindle book format is mobi, and as I understand it, the book should be in black and white. But why does it weigh 750 MB in mobi format? In fact, the mobi format is understood not only by Kindle, but also by other e-books, even those made in China. Maybe I'll buy it someday, I need to think about it. Usually I download all this stuff for free from pirate sites, torrents.  Releasing a paper version of the book is also a very good decision. If you promote this book on Instagram and Facebook, you can have good sales. Because there are many people who want to read such literature not on a tablet, but on paper. It is also nice to put such a book on a shelf, and also to give it to someone. No one gives a book in pdf format. I also thought that you can also sell the paper version of the book on Amazon, in your ad. I saw similar ads there, you can buy either for Kindle or a paper book. Perhaps it is worth placing a few pages on Amazon as an advertisement.

Well, i live in a third world country (Venezuela).
Does Payoneer or PayPal work in Venezuela?
They both work in Venezuela. (I hope they don't give up, many Venezuelan freelancers get paid using them).
What are the prices on the real estate market? (apartment, house). This refers to purchasing a home, not renting it. It is clear that there must be a maximally safe place if there is one in Venezuela.

The book can also be sold on Facebook and Instagram. It can be sold not only in electronic form, but also in printed form, if there are buyers.
Many Ukrainian authors do not contact publishers, but collect orders themselves through Facebook and Instagram, and print their books themselves in printing houses, after which they send the books to buyers by mail.

My book, because of all the photography is 630mb.
Yes, you know what you're doing. 630mb is good for printing on good paper and selling the book in paper form. It may also be interesting for those who want to read the book on a tablet or PC. But perhaps in this case the book size can be reduced to 50mb. Many people read e-books, they read them in fb2 or mobi format. Such books do not weigh many mb, and the photos look black and white, but this is probably not your option.

Annie, why do you keep changing your accounts? Who are you running and hiding from?  Obviously this is all because of me.

Am I the only one with a decrease in income? 
Nope.
By what percentage has your income decreased? 
Actually since the "good news" e-mail where they were promising more sales (maybe just to themselves) - about 20-30% less as well.
What are your plans? Will you upload more content to this stock?

If I remember correctly, the Motionarray agency was created by ordinary stockers. And in a few years, this agency began to bring in good income. Stockers need to create another agency like this.

Does anyone sell photos on this site? How is the income?
They sent to the contributors a Happy New Year cut on 01.01.2025. Its the second cut in 3 years. The first one was when the new owners took over. We had a zoom call with the new owners then and they assured us that everything will be as before......well not really. After they took over they started calculating the earnings differently so it resulted in 30-50% down. Now on February 15 we will see what is the damage this time. In fact there is a nice discussion on reddit and linkedin that can shed light to your question. You can see part of that zoom call and what they say .

Check the comments too.
I read it. What are the alternatives?
