Just wait.
I talked to a graphic designer of mobile games today, he is an employee in big company. He said: "I just got a new laptop and I saw Adobe Stock, I show it to my boss and we will shift from DS to AS."
So as you can imagine, it is not happening immediately (gear/knowledge/budgets/company decision etc.), people are just experiencing it, comparing prices, figuring out how easy it is to have it in new PS libraries etc.
It will be a bomb in few months/years believe me. All the students or new freelancers learning PS, it is the easiest solution for them. It is not a matter of price per image but how easy is to operate with the images, show it to clients with logos, one click buy etc. it is the service what matters and what will sell.

Mat, how long does the transfer from FT to AS take for new images?
@Sean, I don't know the answer to that question. I will ask.
-Mat
I got 50 approved images yesterday, and today they are on AS. So it is very quick. Today I received mail 11:06 AM and now is 12:09 and it is there.

I uploaded back some shots on FT to see if the adobe deal makes some sales. But I almost everywhere put Exclusivity - Yes by mistake as I sell them also on SS. I know I can edit it, but before I do, I wanna ask what it really means in FT terms? As we know many people are "exclusive" and selling everywhere.

I have to agree with most of the comments. I also submitted few briefs, but never had anything from it and I am not a premium member. Also not willing to spent $2 / day. But I like the message and hope. Though I still provide standard microstock, I want to leave this year lot of good images or high prod. value ones to RM only. Lets see. You have to be believer

https://nppa.org/node/69374ye looks like it was inevitable, the market is driving prices down everywhere, editorial stuff 0.25$ from SS here it comes. On the other hand, if all editorial freelancers will jump to some space ship with high cost. Maybe the day will come, when they will start hiring again

When I posted the google trends in iStock thread, I was thinking, what's wrong with Alamy? http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=shutterstock%2C%20fotolia%2C%20istock%2C%20alamy&cmpt=q&tz=The results are based on search term, does it mean, that actually world doesn't know anything about alamy and no one is even intrested to search for it in google? Is it just for special markets like UK? Any suggestion? I know that the graph is relative, but still quite surprised, as much as my 0 sales on Alamy in 2014 :/

Thanks, Ron!
Toopy, I saw that someone visited my Symbiostock site through Reddit and i clicked on the link in my Wordpress stats.
Nice, time to check my google analytics

Let me be the positive idealist Adobe has money from CC subscriptions, and they need to bring there more people. A lot more. 3,4mil is very small number. All those old PS5,6 whoever. They tried to create a community on behance, they embrace creatives, because it brings more subscriptions. So if they will decide to support the contributors even more, I don't mean exactly with increasing royalties, but some benefits of marketplace and CC it could just bring them more people in the future and could be beneficial for contributors. Imagine that they will give you with CC xx number of downloads per month (at their cost, actually calculated to subs. without price change) They just need to calculate the right ratio (new subscribers vs $ they need to pay contributors). I still see that they can grow much more in subsc #. They just need to offer more perks and reasons why to switch to CC.

Well for local events yes. I still keep some international big events only on Alamy and local RM. But Im from Czech Republic, so the need for local sports on Alamy is really low. I try, as they have agreements with other Czech agencies, but after a while, you can remove it, yes.
