I started about three years ago with sales between $2 and $40 per photo, depending of size, in 2017 they dropped down to $2 and now the new system

I do not know if there is a lot of people here in Twenty 20, but I have just received an email from them: "Today, we're shifting away from a fixed $2 per photo sold to Subscriber Share: a way of calculating contributor revenue share based on the core idea that a buyers money should go to the contributors they actually use and value...." https://help.twenty20.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011570913-What-is-Subscriber-Share-They do some quick numbers and conclude by saying that you will win the same, but really they are going to pay 20% of the subscriptions and the subscriptions cost $29/month and are unlimited, meaning that customers can download thousands of photos per month without limits, so they will end up paying us a few cents/download I will wait until the end of November and depending on the income per photo, I will close the account. Creative Market released a similar system with CreativeMarket Pro, was a ruin for contributors and now they are closing it.

The update.
Shutterstock says that the customer never purchased that photo in Shutterstock web. Searching in other agencies Ive found that the only place I sold this photo was in Bigstock, three times in a day in June, so as Shutterstock and Bigstock are the same agency, I suppose that there is a mistake in the caption of the newspaper and where it says "from Shuttestock" it should have said "from Bigstock"
Thanks everyone for your comments.

Thank you.
I have no idea what your specific situation is, but in your terms of service it says:
"Compensation
Shutterstock shall pay you a royalty for each unique download of Content for which Shutterstock receives payment. The current royalty rates are set forth on the Earnings Schedule, which schedule is incorporated herein by reference. If a customer downloads the same item of Content more than once, you will be paid once only. Please note that there may be a reporting delay for customer downloads reflected in your Shutterstock contributor account."
Searching in the web of the newspaper Ive found my image published with different news 4 times more since june. Three months of delay?
did you contact SS regarding it.. and are you working only for SS?
Yes, Im waiting answer. I work with several agencies, but the caption of the photo says from Shutterstock

Hi, I just saw a photo of mine published in an important digital newspaper that in the credits indicates Shutterstock, however, I have never sold that photo in Shutterstock. Who should I contact, Shutterstock, the newspaper... or with none of them just for a few cents?  Is it possible that the sales do not appear immediately in the account? Thank you

So they're on Getty for 50 - 375 and the cut was 0.65! What license?
How old are these sales?
I also received a bunch of older distributor sales, made prior to the Getty announcement.
I expect Getty sales to be marked as "500px licensing".
The $0,65 sale is from April, but has come today and is marked as "Our distributor"

Doesnt specify the type of license, dont know if any subscription or so, but I just know that some months ago I sold photos on 500px for $14, after for $1,5 and now $0,65. I have noticed that Getty is cutting royalties, same thing is happening to me in Eyeem via Getty, the price per photo is falling down

I just made a sale today via distributor!!!  ... wait,  what? $0,65!!!

Where can I see this "buy a licence" button please? I have looked in all the obvious places, but this being 500px it just isn't obvious!
I know at least one image is on Getty as I have sales on it. Surely the (very small number) of ones they accept now will go automatically across - other wise what does 'accepted' mean?
On the right side of the image, below the number of likes.

Did others get the email as well? I didnt. Although 84 of my images are already online on Getty.
Hi, I didnt recieve the email either. How do you know that the photos are alredy online on Getty?
If I go to Manage Photos, under licensing I see some in prime collection, others in core collection and others declined, but I cant find any link to my images on Getty
Thanks!
Some images have a "buy a license" button (not visible under manage photos!). If you click on it you get redirected to Getty.
Thank you!! I didnt notice

In order to be selected for Getty, is it worthy to upgrade to awesome/pro?
Thank you

Did you make sure there are no bank names, Coke signs or anything like that on the buildings? I had some rejected once for the same thing and when I looked carefully found I had missed an NBC logo on one of the buildings in the background - they went through once that was removed. Either that or they have some new inspectors as others suggested.
I have just done a test, Ive uploaded again one of the photos that Shutterstock rejected me, changing slightly the tone (split tone), nothing more, and they have accepted it. Frankly I do not understand this lack of criteria in the acceptance.

Hi, I can not understand the criteria for rejecting photos because they contain property rights.
Yesterday I uploaded pictures of cityscapes of New York containing American flags on foreground with skyscrapers and other office buildings on background (no Empire State, Chrysler, Rockefeller, One World Trade,...), as well as photos with planes flying over skyscrapers, none of them contained logos or anything similar, and they were all rejected for commercial use.
If I go to Shutterstock, I find thousands of similar photos that have been accepted as commercial. As a matter of fact, somedays ago they accepted me similar photos.
Can someone explain the criteria or does it depend on the inspector?
Thank you

Do you enter in Twenty20 or Eyeem in the "clickfest game": like, comment, follow...? Is it worth?

Hi friends
Until March the review times for photo editorial submission was 1-2 days, since then no editorial photo submission has been reviewed, is someone going through this too?
Thanks

Does anyone know why in my statement it says "exclusive" in the column for exclusivity? Did I forget to tick something somewhere during the transition?
Me too and dont know why

I started there around 2 years ago. The photo sales has dropped a lot since then. With about 300 photos I was getting $100-120/month. This month with 1000 photos I have won $7 Its a great place for fonts and photoshop graphic elements, but not for photos, IMO.
