Nothing similar lately. Could be spam, or not..
But i remember once i've been contacted by someone who found a photo of mine on Depositphotos. He wanted to buy directly from me. I've emailed him the picture and he sent me money. Cash in an envelope by post :D

...you should have sent him the picture also in an envelope by post

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, in order
to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared
in Executive Order 13692 of March 8, 2015 (Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela),
as amended, as relied upon for additional steps taken in subsequent Executive
Orders, and in light of the continued usurpation of power by Nicolas Maduro
and persons affiliated with him, as well as human rights abuses, including
arbitrary or unlawful arrest and detention of Venezuelan citizens, interference
with freedom of expression, including for members of the media, and ongoing
attempts to undermine Interim President Juan Guaido and the Venezuelan
National Assemblys exercise of legitimate authority in Venezuela, hereby
order:



Speaking about human rights abuses, arbitrary and unlawful arrests and detention, etc, etc, he has no problems with the Saudi King and his government killing American residents, chopping and dissolving their bodies...  >:(

By chance I came across this article on wine from June last year in the Smithsonian magazine:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/california-wine-shows-traces-fukushima-fallout-180969726/

I think that their use of a free photo from Pixabay (pity that the meniscus of the wine is not horizontal!) also tells us that decining sales of traditional microstock may also have to do with 'free'. Before 'free', reputable magazines relied on SS etc as their first port of call for images. Now they first go to 'free' and if they can't find what they want, they then go to the regular MS agencies.

I have no doubt that many other image users also do similar. (No doubt the reason that SS and Adobe see fit to sponsor Pixabay with ads...which suggest that if the client can't find what he wants at Pixabay they should go to SS or Adobe).

Who upload on Pixabay images and videos and gives them away for free?

Hipsters

Payouts isn't reflecting my recent payout either. But Canva is an automatic payout, no request. You set a threshold and it pays out each month if you meet the threshold.

Oh did not know about the automatic payout, thank you.
I will set my limit at 50$ so i can get a payout in 3 years  ;D

General Stock Discussion / Re: Twenty20 tax update
« on: June 03, 2019, 17:07 »
Yes i got that too, even in my app it is always showing "subject to applicable royalty withholding tax",

...Ok i understand that, my country does not have a tax treaty with the U.S or Australia, but i get tax deduction on SS only when the customer is also from the U.S, but how does Envato deduct taxes?

I have to say that i earned noticeably more for April but got 40$ withheld for taxes  :(

Same. Buyer from Australia... tax withheld. Not from Australia, no tax withheld. As for the noticeably more... did you read the announcement? They gave a welcome bonus to everyone and have increased the commission rate.

...nope just got payment for May from t20, and it is -30% on gross earnings.  :(
