Reason? The predicted implosion of the UK did not happen.
trade increased
other countries are making positive moves to sign trade deals with the UK
You do realise that we are still in post-referendum and pre-Brexit days let alone the UK is still a full member of the EU? If May triggers article 50 coming Wednesday things will change the Pound will fall further in the coming months though the UK is still a full member of the EU but triggering article 50 is like triggering the ejection seat in a jet there is no easy stop from there. But things will get very ugly in two years and yes most countries in the EU want a fair trading deal with the UK (especially Germany after the UK they have most to loose) but people seem to forget that for every major deal/decision the EU needs unity among their member states. Some (mostly smaller) member states and their people working in the UK have been treated quite badly and they are out for revenge so chances are quite big that there will be no deal at all after the two years period. This will terrible for all but it will be a catastrophy for the UK! So please come back in two years and we can discuss the real post-Brexit times.

The UK is the 5th biggest economy in the world and if we don't get a good deal, it will probably become the biggest tax haven. Any tariffs will have to be offset by lower taxes, I think that's a good incentive for the EU to come up with a beneficial deal for both sides. I do think some of the car industry will go but as the UK has some of the best robotics, it wont all go and it would be great if we started making our own cars again. I was against leaving the EU if it reformed but that hasn't happened and I'm not that disappointed to be leaving now. Going to be fun to see how it works out.
what makes you think the EU doesn't want a good deal for the UK? All members wanted and want a good deal for the UK of course they have a good maybe selfish interest in keeping good (trade) relations with the UK. What it makes complicated is the behaviour of the leading politicians in the UK, I'm pretty sure there will be no deal at all in the end this would be bad for all but the UK can only blame itself.

I was a seller at Photodune and a buyer at Envato (Themeforest, Videohive, Audiojungle) I have adjustet my focus and found a new approach for buying these stuff elsewhere.

I'm entering Macro this year and very curious about what people have to say.
There are of course special circumstances and exceptions everywhere, but I would not buy a $1000 dollar coffeemaker when a similar thing of perhaps slightly inferior quality is sold for $25 everywhere.
The question is why the coffeemaker makers starting to sell their coffeemakers at $25 (or rather 25 cents) instead of $1000.
The business went global, and global competition drives the prices down. The coffeemaker maker can certainly try to sell it for $1000, but that's the last we'll hear of him.
If history teaches us anything it teaches us about the Luddite movement.
Well there was never a need to go that down, it's just stupid 5-20$ would still be consider as cheap for most buyers, these extreme low prices are just silly but the genie is out of bottle there is nothing we can do just hoping that a least footage keeps reasonable prices

the some thing happened to me a few years ago, it was easy too proof but it took a couple of a days (I think about a week) till I got my portfolio online again. A couple of hundred dollars had been lost for me without my fault I did hope that the handle these kind of issues differently (not able to withdraw money but leave the portfolio online till the case is scrutinized) now but it's still the same

1.200.000 images of salad
2.700.000 of christmas
what surprises me is that people are still uploading images of salad or christmas...and thy still accept everything.
in my opinion there are so many niche that still needs images cause if we analyze the photos 95% are copy of copy and similar subject.
The thing is the trending aesthetic keeps changing, both with food photography, lifestyle shots, graphic design etc. Im personally more in favour of automatically deleting files that havent sold in 5 or more years or something along the lines. Most of the uploaded stuff never sells. Im also for stricter limits on uploading huge batches of similar graphics/shots.
this is all correct BUT aesthetics doesn't change that fast we are talking about 50 million more pictures in less than two years! The sheer amount of pictures will bury you there is simply no way to build a sustainable business with these kind of figures it's like selling sand grain in the desert!

@50% I am living in a country which is not all that wealthy at the moment, you might check the todays newspaper of Zimbabwe to learn more about...
read my post again I didn't say you live in a wealthy country, I do and couldn't afford a house here...

only the wealthy people cry...
Where I live people with a house and a garden are considered rich because it cost at very least 500.000, living in a rich country doesn't make you rich on a personal basis, the daily life is actually just harder because everything is so expensive. Having a house with a garden you should consider yourself wealthy!

Yeah Shutterstock seems to be in a free fall!
I usually don't bother commenting on the negative bs going on here, but.. really?! Shutterstock is not "in free fall". Contributor's individual earnings are under pressure because of the huge competition. Shutterstock itself is doing just fine.
of course I'm talking about my own twelve year statistic and my own individual earnings, and the gap from 2015 to 2016 is way more significant than compared to former years. I'm fully aware that SS is doing just fine but the TO talked about his/her individual earnings so do I and I have to agree that individual earnings are way down.
