A long but interesting take on the state of photography

Looks like they are available on the site now.

ESP has been down for me for two days

Will the 'Activity' page still show sales in real time? Or will it only be updated once a day also?

At minimum then the default stats should be the current months total $$ and the # of downloads - not some other random time frame.

And get rid of the graph it's the most useless waste of space.

I had one marked custom for .38 - what's custom about that?

yes

Still not working -I deleted the old installed the new from the link above and all I get is the column

An interesting read on how they basically don't give a rats-arse about protecting our content.

How does Shutterstock investigate infringement claims?

I had 2 large sales on the 6th - I thought they were suspicious so I saved the two emails. But they took $9.14 more than the total of those 2 sales.

We need a true accounting of this fiasco and more transparency as to the cause.

Anybody get an email from Adobe RE: a survey about Adobe Stock and the Contributor platform?
I'm about to take it and probably not be complimentary.

The thing i want to see when i click on a site is my current months earnings - that's what i track. Not the last week or 10 days or last 30 days. I don't need my all time earnings- i know that. Then i want an easy way to see todays sales followed by an easy link to my image all time stats. I don't want to have have to select random date ranges and frankly I don't care about charts and graphs.
What part of keeing it simple and sensible is so hard for sites to understand.

For the 1st time on this site I see that my earnings declined - they are gradually going down during the last few months. And January doesn't looking great so far either. Hopefully it's just temporary.

Bad. Reviewing very very slow.

The sent this out on Dec 16th regarding reviewing:

Dear contributors,

Based on the recent survey feedback so many of you kindly provided, we�ll be making a few changes and focusing our attention on a rebuild of our underlying systems. Once it�s all done you�ll have a much more attractive and usable interface in Canva.

As we need to redirect our reviewing team to some of the new products we�re building, we�ll be putting a hold on reviewing new image submissions for the next month or so.

You�re welcome to continue uploading while reviewing is on hold if that�s what suits your workflow. All images will be stored and added into the system afterwards. If you prefer to stop uploading while you wait for us, that�s fine too.

Let me know if you have any questions.
