I don't really get your last paragraph 
He's looking for hard figures to back up your sweeping statements.
Who do you think I am, a company that does stats. As I said (a thousand times by now), this are my experiences, my numbers and observations of other togs. You can see ppl complaining about bad sales at IS constantly, right? That it's only their #5, #7 earner, but when you check their ports you see why. They sell crap. Most of the times. They can manage to get a sale here and there on other sites, but at IS (perhaps mostly because they don't really have subs) they just can't. Some of them have huge ports, ports of 3,4,5k or even more. Yet they only earn 1k a month or so. And have only 2 digit earnings at IS. Take your time and have a look for yourselves (meaning y'all doubters), click . out of those port links
you have this discussion back and forward with yourself (in here) everyday, dont understand why you are so worried about others income, just to let you know I do close to 200$/month at IS (after 5 months of no uploading there, they are my 2nd best earner every single month), Steve Heap does also over 200$.. so it would be nice to know what folks you are talking about

they have made 10x less than iStock (2009) in terms of revenue but they actually pay 60% (iStock paid 57.2 M vs Alamy 12.5 M)
never had much sales in Alamy and their system kind of holds me back to upload more but I do see many stock friends having 400$ sales and certainly not the best photography work

Wait a second? Now when a high level image gets sold via subscription, it won't cost the buyer 2 downloads anymore, but only 1? So we will earn less money on high level subscription downloads?
YEP we know that for a few weeks I guess

10 years? you are so weak with numbers, at least prepare what you are going to say
80K images
10 years = 3560 days
80K divided by 3560 = 22.47
Dude check your own numbers before you attack someone else
dude Yuri ain't doing stock for 10 years
That is why I said "Over 10 years that is about 20 images a day. Not sure if he has been shooting that long so even over 5 years that is about 40 images a day".
So maybe you should read before you attack 
actually you posted 10 and then went on a search p.s: again you are wrong, 7 years (12-5 = 7)

Bravo, Lee and Leaf!
At least Serban can be reasoned.
buyer that get plans in EUR we are actually getting from 22.34% to 22.63% NOT the 25%
buyer that get plans in POUND we are actually getting 22.21% NOT the 25%
sure he can do more

PeopleImages is the first step, next step could be the launch of the next IS/SS killer and i'm sure it's in his grand plan for stock domination.
will it have cute icons, badges and moo cards? p.s: lets not forget that even if Yuri had his 1.4M in 2011, iStock had more 17 M

"We have more than 100 people employed worldwide, and paying them their monthly salaries is our biggest expense. "
I agree with you on some level there. But I also can't help thinking to myself if he had not kept investing back into his photography, hiring staff, etc. then maybe he wouldnt be the microstock giant he is today.
PeopleImages might not have come around etc.
Maybe he has a 15 year plan with his photography and PeopleImages and part of that plan is to put all the money back into it until it is at such a size it threatens istock, shutterstock etc.
16!
