microstock will not die of coarse, but, for normal contributors, will be impossible to Live just with that.... in civilized countries....sure you can pay beers and food

i'm not a full microstock full timer but i get quite enough money from microstock, i pay my beers and professional shooting equipment, do do what?
 to produce other microstock images that will be paid less and less..! in some time i think i will just look my personal projects and just do what i like....by the way there are great pictures out there, and these are still selling...i shoot mostly isolated on white, and this is becoming like a manual worker in Ford chain factory

As a microstock photographer i always looked on quantity  (acceptable quality ok but not much more...no time must upload and sell!) i think good photographers will stand out while the others will be swept away by the market....maybe i'll be swept out! ahahha
