What the heck, did they change the minimum payout to $60? I'd swear it was $30 earlier?

277
They have a 1000 Skies Bundle from Shutterstock and Adobe Stock at 49$.

https://creativemarket.com/MixPixBox/4182585-1000-Sky-Overlays-Pack

In Europe pack of 25 extended licenses is 1699 ... therefore the cost of 1000 extended license is 68.000 ...  8)

Do you think they paid 68.000 for 1000 extended licenses ?  ;D

Highly unlikely unless they have a special deal with SS. But still, why not ask them? Then you can use that opportunity to educate them or DMCA them (if it's your photos they're selling.)

278
Only if they have an Enhanced License, then someone can incorporate photos in a template for sale or distribution.

In most cases the Etsy seller doesn't have the correct license (Standard licenses don't allow this use) so you might ask the seller if they have paid for the correct license for each photo in their templates.

Made the payout treshold, now busy processing ID verification. Then I'll delete my videos and turn my back on these liars forever.

Why did that reviewer reject $$$? If they don't want their cut, I am happy to take it!

Reasons for rejection: storage space, upholding the overall quality standard of their collection, preventing oversupply.
And if you're so happy to keep their cut to yourself, all you need to do it sell it on your own website. Good luck getting traffic and paying customers, though.

I don't know. What I do know for sure is that you're way overthinking this.

I can't make sense of anything you say Tenebroso. Those lengthy pseudo-poetic posts full of meandering nonsense. No offense, you remind me of a stereotypical rambling vodka drinking village loony.

283
Although I appreciate Adobes generosity, and we're in no position to complain, I must say the requirement for the All Apps plan was a lot steeper than last two years. Combine that with the COVID pandemic, which led to a reduction in sales, I was unable to get the All Apps plan this year. The Photography plan is nice for some, but useless for me.

I would have preferred a requirement that's more within our control (after all, we can control how much we submit, but not how much we sell). Oh well.

It appears to be a bug, don't expect any goodwill or motivational suprises from SS.

The weird thing is that SS has never once in my entire SS career failed to pay, in fact they were always right on time (around the 7th of each month).

It could also be a correction.

I was banned from their forums. No idea why, but I can't log in anymore. My contributor account is still active though.

Same here, I received no money this month.

What a joke, not even a heads-up, no email, nothing.

I did not get payment either, I contacted them and and they have respond this:

"It appears that there has been a delay with some payments this month, and a lot of contributors still haven't been paid yet. Provided your payment account settings are correct, funds should be forthcoming by the 15th."
Let's hope that will get our money till monday.

I received the same response from online support. But these are from fellow contributors and they don't work for SS, so I guess we'll have to wait until Monday to find out.

It's absurd...
I got the below reply from them after I contacted them:
====================================
"I understand your concern regarding your payment and I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

Please be informed that there was an issue with the Jan 2020 payment ($$$). The payment will automatically be reissued in the next cycle (March 2021).

If you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
============================================

Now what we do?

What the...? Can they just do that? Why aren't contributors being informed about this?

291
I have a little bug of sorts: Adobe Stock revenue seems to be stuck on last month's amount. No more sales updates (popups) either

Please run an empty submission - probably it needs you to pass a captcha but doesn't want to bother you just to update the balance.

That did the trick, thanks!

"which show that the uploaded material is not very demanded by our customers"

Or that your site is incapable of attracting the right customers.

Haven't been paid yet either. They should pay before the 15th so they're not overdue, but usually it appears in my Paypal no later than the 7th of the month.

Do they pay out even below the treshold if I close my account now?

Good question, I would like to know that too.

Good question, I would like to know that too.

I asked this question on numerous occasions to different emails of theirs and never received a reply.

So I wrote about the experience.


Received a reply this weekend, not surprisingly it's exactly the answer I didn't want to hear:

"Hi
You would forfeit any earnings accumulated, by closing your account. Additionally the files are permanently deleted and you could not reopen the account at a later time.
Kind regards"

Got my first couple of sales.

A pitiful $4 per video download, apparently some cheap ass subscription sale.
I put up my videos in the Premium tier at $59 per video, 50% commission, but they sell for this cheap?
What a joke of a site. I'm going to delete my entire portfolio, can't believe I fell for this crap.

I actually feel nauseous.

I already vomited twice in my mouth.

What really annoys me as this further erodes the thought that photography is worth something, and it is not free. Most images cost something to produce. When was the last time you went into a shop and got a free t shirt?

I often see discounts in shops: 3 t-shirts for 10, 2+1 free, etc.
If anything is cheap, it's t-shirts.

Discounts are perfectly normal to entice buyers into getting a subscription.

Just quit iStock and SS then. It's simple, really.
