A useless outfit that sells next to nothing.  They make their money selling Picfair Plus

�90 per year to pay for that rip off and I've only ever made $40 US out of them in four years.

I'll close the account, one less crap stock agency to worry about 

My payable earnings shot up by $47 overnight with no new sales showing, could this be a payment for training AI usage as at Shutterstock maybe?

Of course it is ~ and I got $17

Judas got 30 pieces of silver which is slightly more 

"Tossers" indeed also wankers, dickheads, and a lot of derogatory I could post but can't be bothered, just like I can't be bothered about oringer and his crew of fools 

This is no place for political discussions of any kind.

Oh really? Who made you the internet police? 

Any way "Donald Trump walks into a bar & orders a drink. Once he finishes drinking it he gets up and starts to leave. Bartender says "Hey, aren't you gonna pay for that?!"
Trump shrugs and replies "I'm a little short handed." 

I was going to comment but then I realized I no longer care what those corporate goof balls do any more.

 

We can only hope and pray that shitterstock goes bust and takes Oringers fortune with it.

This would be hilarious 

Stop working on Microstock and doing something else...

I quadrupled my income by ditching the microstock treadmill of "exciting news" and keeping shitterstock in their Empire State pad.

Simple I got a proper job.

Personally the judges must have been pretty dense not to notice the oddness of this "picture" I spotted AI before I even read the article.

My monthly earnings used to be around $750 a month with a high point of $1,000 in 2018, then...

Envato scrapped the contributor bonus
Shitterstock cut rates
Alamy cut rates and sale prices
All the smaller agencies effectively died.

So now I'm lucky if I make $300 per month.

I gave up you can't fight against these f**kers and got agency work in schools/education and now make enough to get by.

Of course the plandemic didn't help and the subsequent putin krap has really screwed things, plus rampant inflation.

Image thieves, idiots who think everything should be free etc.

Then there's AI generated images now competing against traditional photography.

So in my view this is no longer a game worth playing. 

Its more likely that the vector design was too similar to an existing actual vehicle design

They changed the web address

It used to be https://secure.alamy.com/myalamy-aim.aspx

Now its https://www.alamy.com/myalamy-aim.aspx

Put in the new address it should take you to the contibutor dashboard

Some ideas in this hard days in stock photo and video business https://youtu.be/9ekXrvHYXG8

Shoot models, and you will not have to invent and invent anything.

Surely its not necessary to shoot the models isn't it against the law?
