I didn't really follow what's happening at Canva. First look at the stats shows that my income dropped like 500% between March and June and stayed at that level.
Is that only my case or have others experienced the same?
It is no wonder that revenue drops when they invite customers to use over 1 million new free images.
The "free images" offer started in May 2019.
Ok, so I guess that started around that time ?

April $.08 May $.16 June $.19 July $.19 August $.22
Strange, I get exactly the same RPD numbers you quote, but for one month later, so from May to September. There seems to be an error with assigning the correct month at Canva?

Great analysis Robert. How confident are you in the results you see in the Sales page though - whenever I click to a new month (and September 2019 isn't there in the drop down) I see different figures and image sales for multiple different months in the details.
The interface seems to be really screwed up in terms of what it is showing and the figures don't match what I have been putting into my spreadsheets each month using the older interface.

In my Canva account "September 2019" is shown in the dropdown, see screenshot attached. The numbers from Canva are off compared to my excel sheet as well, but only to a maximum of about 2-3 USD, so that might be "refused credit cards" or so.

You forgot to mention "cutting commissions" as part of your DNA

but the classic worst recently was a guy with a GoPro, driving down the street in Saigon or someplace similar, shooting time lapse through the windscreen, and uploading each as an individual image. They are fuzzy and terrible, but also hundreds if not thousands of images. I doubt that he will get more sales than if he had taken 2 good shots and uploaded them. do you have a link to that portfolio?

Well, Adobe and Pond always read it in, which is probably why I was thinking SS did too. Ech. Extra carpal tunnel.
Read it in from what? What tool and video format do you use?
They read them in from the embedded IPTC metadata, just like from photos. You can add these metadata to video for example via Adobe Bridge (right click on a video and choose "Properties".

Not sure what it means for people considering starting in 2019 as far as how hard it is now versus a decade ago to climb those ranks if you build a large portfolio. I'm guessing it's harder now
I would certainly think so as well.

Thank you ! Very interesting analysis Your article gives ideas to write a statistical analysis of all ShutterStock portfolios.
Yes, please, that would be very interesting to compare. Please send me a link when you have something online or drop me a link when you need help analyzing.

Wow, wow! Thank you for sharing this!

I did you the "support" email. Also I had to quote the first three letters of my password as proof and other shenanigans. Send the email with notice of receipt, and ask for a reply.
If it does not help, please contact me via email, if you want to go public.

Mat, this evening I was credited with a subscription sale at $66. Is that a recurrence of the error or a valid royalty amount?
Also, I do not see adjusted amounts in the Adobe Stock contributor interface. The original sales show with their higher (unadjusted) royalties and there is no entry for an adjustment amount. The adjustments do show up in the Fotolia contributor interface.
That is a valid royalty amount Jo Ann.

Mat, when will the deductions be shown in the acitivity statistics in the Adobe Stock backend?

I deleted my account after that there.
How did you do that? I tried for several months, sending emails with all the info required for account closure described in the FAQ, but never got a reply or any action.
That way described in the FAQ worked for me (I required an reply email as confirmation). I was being a pain in their butts though, because I blogged about their business shenanigans several times, so it was probably welcomed by them to get rid off me. If you want, we can make it public as well, just send me an email (see my contact info on my website) and we can work on the details.

Some people report that they got reply from Adobe Stock support who says the problem was active during February 6th-13th.
This means it was running eight days without anybody noticing?

This is an accounting nightmare.
I am also affected, BUT I cannot see the deductions in my Adobe Stock backend. Only on the Fotolia backend, but even there I cannot see the images affected. I need to share revenues with my team, so this is terrible.

My views increased about 400% as well, starting on September 9th... Sales are regular, no anomalies there.
