That's not my point. Stock is flooded with Gopro 4K videos and HD too, even if they are crap.

Did try with few cDNG 1080p clips. Went through everywhere with no problems.

Extremely slow August here too... 

Sales constantly dropping... no matter how much footage you upload. In July there were only 4 sales. Thinking about dropping too.

First of all... selling 4k for under $ 100 is absurd. Second... if they'll need 4k, they will find it.

Because 4k is so incredibly hard to produce and almost no camera in the world can handle it? Ethernet cables and wifi routers collapse under the pressure?

You price based on CONTENT. Not resolution.

A 4k clip of a duck should be cheap.

A 720p clip of an erupting volcano can be very expensive.

Sure, cuz your rent, equipment loans, software rent, monthly bills, and grocery expenses are price based on quality too?

isn't it funny, how many contributors justified their "100%" contributor commission system as a "right" way to go in stock industry... now it seems they earning the same as many other agencies  :laughingoutloud:

They pay like $47 for a HD sale unlike others that pay like $23.  It's not the same, bro.    :laughingoutloud:

not with so many tax witholds we had at VB. Then the incomes was as bad as elsewhere.

iShitty does require a license...

What's really funny is this used to be fairly normal up until about 15 years ago

Agreed. Today photos and videos are worth less than working as waiter.

If google can adjust your search results based on location you live, what you usually search, what is currently interesting, what had more views and many other factors, why would be impossible to adjust such a small scale database for many other reasons? Don't underestimate the power of code. Never.

There are 2 million video clips on SS. What is there to figure out? The video market is starting to saturate and competition is getting tougher. It happened to photos a while ago. Vectors wasn't too far behind.

Nobody want to admit their work isn't the best available, but buyers are truthful. They download what they want to download. There are no caps on SS. There is growing competition, and growing portfolio of content. Good content and good keywording are the keys to success.

Then explain me, why we see in three year analysis number of sold files per month slowly rising with number of uploaded footage, and those sold files per month are always in +-10 %. We've never seen one month being sold 10 files, and another 100. There is always between 50-70 files sold. This is clearly their capping system that gives priority for some factors we don't know yet.

We've seen our footage on National Geographic as part of a longer commercial.

You can spot most stock footage commercial by some factors; no brands included anywhere in video, one clip with no continuation, more non-related clips together with no brands...

In most cases you have to get pre-approved to even submit editorial stuff. We have to send PRESS allowance of the event which we intend to upload. They send back a reference number and we put that number in when sending clips to currators. Long and useless procedure...
