Then we are honoured by your presence. What went wrong though... why did you stop being the best quality contributor?
I am in the top 1500 in the AS contributor ranking with less than 2000 photos. I read that there are contributors with 10,000 photos earning $ 50 a month ... so am I among the best in quality or not? I therefore think that my type of work should no longer be in stock and be rewarded with 1 or 2 cents. I was wrong. I will take other roads.

Bye Bye Adobe Stock !
I was one of the best quality contributor ... Each of my photos requires 1 or 2 hour of post production and the result is appreciated by the buyers. You deserve a collection of amateur snapshots

I haven't checked all of their images (there are thousands !), but I haven't seen any of mine
But the problem is: bundles like these kill the business. This Etsy shop has made 40,000 sales in 5 years. And for every pack sold they sell hundreds of skies, gradients, textures ...
I believe that Adobe and Shutterstock should also move against these license abuses.

They have a 1000 Skies Bundle from Shutterstock and Adobe Stock at 49$. https://creativemarket.com/MixPixBox/4182585-1000-Sky-Overlays-PackIn Europe pack of 25 extended licenses is 1699 ... therefore the cost of 1000 extended license is 68.000 ...  Do you think they paid 68.000 for 1000 extended licenses ?

Is it regular to sell on Etsy or Creative Market our backgrounds and skies downloaded from Shutterstock or Fotolia/Adobe Stock ? They indicate Shutterstock or Fotolia/Adobe Stock on the pages, but I don't think it is possible to sell these backgrounds with digital download on other shops ... https://www.etsy.com/shop/MixPixBox (> 40.000 sales !) https://creativemarket.com/MixPixBoxSorry for my english

A year ago I stopped uploading photos to all agencies under RPD < $ 0.50. Istock included. This month $ 0.44, Dec 0.41 Jan 0.42 ... maybe it would be better to close the account ...

They dont need/want quality - there's Custom and Offset for that.
Yes ... but sales on Offset, Getty, Adobe Premium ... are good or not ?

Subscription now seems to be in Single And Others now
Kate Shutterstock answer: "As you've noticed, most earnings are displaying in the Single & Other column. This is a display issue that we are working to resolve. All your commissions are being calculated correctly, they are just displaying in the wrong category. Thanks for your patience while we prepare a fix for this issue."

dreamstime will save microstock industry 
Are you sure ? Got two DT sub sales in June ... 0,35 $ same earnings of May ... Where is my extra 10% increase in the royalties value for all downloads ? Subscription is excluded ?

Percentages MUST be based on an actual percentage of what the buyer paid for the image (subscription fee/ actual images downloaded) not on the total possible number of downloads.
Mmm ... Istock nightmare ? Nooo ! I prefer 35% now (i'm in level 5) that 15% one or two months later ...

Photo credits are overrated imo...as long as we're paid (correctly) that's all that matters and even that can be a challenge sometimes!
I do not agree. There are rules and they should be respected. I agree for commercial use, but not for editorial use. 90% of those who put photos on Instagram put a link or a tag to the author account. Then there are always the smart ones who pretend to be authors of the photos ...

Hi there !
I have sold many travel photos and often I find them on Instagram without credits attribution.
I contacted the accounts and they explained that they bought the photos on Istockphoto.
Istock License Agreement says:
Attribution.
Do I need to include a photo credit? You do not need to include a photo credit for commercial use, but if you are using content for editorial purposes, you must include the following credit adjacent to the content or in visual production credits: "iStock.com/Artist's Member Name."
I think the use on social media has editorial purposes. What do you think about it ?

Mmm ... I think the time has come to say goodbye to Getty ... Last year I had an average RPD of 0,53 $ ... this year an RPD of 0,36 $ (more than 500 sales/month) And now these Connect sales for a fistful of cents ...

My portfolio is 50% travel Italy - 40% travel Europe - 10% other (food, texture ...)
March good -20% from February
April (first 8 days) down 50% from February
Download is good (-20/30%), but I lost extended licences in all the agencies.
RPD Feb 0,98 - Mar 0,93 - First 8 days Apr 0,69.
