I used to love photography when it was just a hobby. Since I started in micro, every time I pick up a camera it's like I'm punching a time clock. Not so much fun anymore. I do enjoy the benefits that come with it though.

It's definitely a conflict of interests. But the sites are only interested in making more money. I doubt fairness is a concern for the agencies.
Exactly. It's a conflict of interest because of basic human nature. It's a system that should be changed, but won't because of the reason you gave.

Found numerous free wallpaper sites with one of my images. Have contacted some of them and gotten replies stating the image would be removed.

maybe lobo will apply in the near future for a job as forum moderator : )
And Peebert could come back from retirement to do public relations. 
LOL. Yes. A definite recipe for success.

He actually has "Shutterstock-Business" as his album title. Did you contact Shutterstock?

Wow. I used to think that Lobo was a vast improvement over Peebert. Not anymore.

Big drop here too. Making half what I normally make.

So that some can feel better about themselves, above others (that's why aeonf is defending it all the time), but what's it really all about is of course for the agency to get a bigger cut and try to have their contributors by the ball$, terrorizing them to upload more (psychological pressure, not really rewarding as they'd like to show it to be)
Absolutely! This RC business was never about motivating or rewarding better, harder working contributors. It has always been a cash grab for the company. That's all it is. Can't believe there's anyone who still doubts that.
So true! It's not a reward system at all. If a majority of contributors showed an increase in their RC levels for a particular year, how would they be rewarded? With a higher target for the following year!

There seems to be an endless supply of bad news over there.

I checked the first 10 pages of the discussion forum and saw no "thumbs down" threads, only "thumbs up." I guess everything's rosy at IS. Who knew?

Looking at all those * idiots thanking IS for raising the bar really put a smile on my face and made my day. Because I just realised I kept my brains from being washed and realized just how many stupid people there are in the world. It's like whistling and singing along when you're forced to dig your own grave
Yeah. I was amazed by that too. Unbelievable.

I have a question for all of you who think the new system is bad:
Lets say all of the RC targets where now slashed in half. so for example to hit the 40% mark you would need 60K credits instead of 120K, 5.25K for 30% etc' etc'
and for the sake of the arguement all non-exclusives had a fixed 20% income, or a ladder of 20%-25% instead of 15%-20%.
Would you STILL think the new system is not fair and/or bad ?
And JS: Great so you found 2 top dogs which are not old-timers, how does that make my statment not true ?!?
"Quite silly realy, most if not all of the top dogs are old timers! I don't"
Fine, so I take the "all" back. Still, the VAST majority of MS head-honchos are old-timers.
I've never had a problem with the system itself. It's the unachievable targets that are the problem.

If P+ doesn't meet with price resistance from buyers, at least it means we get more money for the same # of sales.
I didn't go into it expecting a best match boost because I had read about the failure to give E+ the promised boost. Although a boost would be nice to have
Lisa, IS is truly winner here, we are just collateral winners!
I'll take it! First time we've been any kind of winner in a long time.

Close to BME in March and so far this month sales have been spectacular. If it carries on like this it will be a massive BME but I am waiting for the sales to be 'switched off' again as usually seems to happen.
I tend to find my sales at Dreamstime appear in bizarre cycles of say 10 days of 'feast' followed by 2 weeks of 'famine'. I get the impression from the search results that different contributors are 'favoured' (or not) over time according to some unknown algorithm.
Yes! Same here. I'm in the famine cycle at the moment.

Stop the madness!
www.fairtax.org
Really. Think of all the thousands and thousands of hours we have spent this year keeping records only needed for the tax collectors and then filling out those all those forms. When we could have been taking photos and making illustrations! And the money spent to hire accountants. All wasted. :'(
All of that is eliminated with this system. No more worrying about April 15th. Everybody pays their fair share of taxes, including the wealthy and illegal immigrants. In this system, even people who receive income illegally will still pay taxes. There's no way to game the system.
