$10/month to keep my photos on SS? I make more money on SS in a month, so it's not a big deal for me, but it would weed out a smaller contributors.

It's a first time for me that I made more money on Adobe than on SS during first 15 days of months. Adobe usually lead during a first few days of a month, but today is July 14, and Adobe still ahead.

The Microstock Agencies could start pruning the unused content: If you photo was not sold during last year, it will be deleted.

The photographer makes tons of money by taking and licensing photos of the otter in Santa Cruz that hassling surfers and stealing their boards. I wonder how much the photographer would make if they uploaded the same photos to microstock.

Just copy paste "Valmeinier, France - Circa 2023" after description and done, instead of wasting time on exact date.
