No errors here,just the email arrived early this year,usually the email arrived after the money was credited.

So I confirm,as far as I'm concerned they only accepted half of the content for the free collection compared to 2023.

In any case,this week is one of the best weeks ever in terms of sales,which balanced out the negative result of the free collection.

In conclusion,I definitely expected more from the free collection,but I can't complain,I just hope that sales continue to go as well as they are doing this week.

Keep it up! 

In my opinion "blvdone" did an impressive job.

There is a lot of work and sacrifice in generating and improving thousands of AI images that are in his portfolio,which was already a high-level portfolio before AI.

Furthermore,in my opinion "blvdone" was good because moved quickly,long before me and many others in devise,generating,indexing and uploading thousands of AI contents in very short time.

So credit where credit is due! 

You can thank me by PM me your dealer's contact information!

I tried wirestock a couple of years ago,after 2-3 months I deleted everything and closed the account,and judging by the gains I see from those who use it I have done well.

When they went pay, I left the account active. I still have around 500 images, which are distributed to sites where I have no account. 123RF, DP, Evanto, a bunch more, in other words, everywhere except SS, AS, AL, IS and DT. And some of those have rejects and other files, activated for sale, from WS. Odd how that works? Rejected personally, but accepted at WS and the agency that rejected the image?

It makes me as much a year as IS, which is a nice bottle of single malt. For free, I do no work, I'm happy. 

But I wouldn't pay for the right to upload or have them do the keywords and distribution. Maybe some other people find it a benefit? I'd have to have many more images, to make it worthwhile.

Of course,it's all subjective in the end,it depends on what works for you,or simply what you prefer to do.

as far as I know,based on what those who use wirestock say,more or less you get 10usd a month for around 5000 contents,then maybe clearly this will be different for someone I don't know.

what I know,and that's fine with me,it's just that it's not worth leaving content on display for thieves and copycats if an agency makes so little,not to mention the waste of time it takes to upload and all the various problems it can cause,such as in this case the free collection without pay.

If an agency doesn't make much money,it's better to let it go than settle for crumbs and have too much wasted time and various problems.

Wirestock isn't an agency, they are a distributor to agencies. You can't blame Wirestock for thieves any more than the actual agencies, which are the same as we upload to and the same as they distribute to. If you make $10 a month on WS then you would make $10 a month on your own. Wirestock is not an agency.

as I said:"it's all subjective in the end,it depends on what works for you,or simply what you prefer to do".

as far as I'm concerned,I had an account on Wirestock which I closed,I simply don't like the idea of ​​a single portfolio for all contributors,and I prefer to upload to a few better agencies,where I don't need to give a part of the royalties which are already generally low.

and allow me to add that Wirestock's behavior in this case was certainly not the best,have decided to add contributors contents to the free collection,without asking and without payment,contents that have not been sold on their platform,but which are not necessarily unsold on other agencies.

if they want content to be given in the free collection they must give contributors the opportunity to choose and above all they must pay.

my alias on adobe is cobaltstock, on istock it is cobalt, in some other places jcobalt etc...

so many Cobalts in the world! 

on Adobe Stock your alias should be: "Cobaltstock the original" 

Pond is terrible for images,for videos it's a different story,I have an open port on Pond since 2019 but I no longer found the time to upload there too.

DP is better for photos,compared to Pond5.

If you ask me if I think I should sell more,I would answer yes,like most contributors.

I'm not saying I should sell 5 times more or more,but I think 2-3 times more would be more fair for the amount and types of content I have in my port.

In the big picture I can't complain,on Adobe this month I'm average,and I'll probably end the month with a profit compared to June 2023,and also in the other few agencies where I still have an active port,it's not going so bad,on SS this is already the third best month of the last 15 months.

so,at least for the moment,everything seems normal,not great but OK.

perhaps it would be appropriate to make a button on each device and keyboards,

a large button with "UNSUBSCRIBE" written on it! 

I had a paid Adobe All Apps subscription until the end of last year,
upon cancellation,for me it was all very simple,I was offered 2 months free if I continued the subscription,furthermore if I decided to cancel before the end of the subscription,I could do so,paying I seem to remember 50% of the remaining months.
All very simple and clear like drinking a glass of water.

Regarding Midjourney there are perhaps many things to say,but the clarity of the subscriptions is not in question,even with Midjourney everything is done very clearly regarding the subscriptions,just as it is clear that the images generated on Midjourney are public,MJ it is intended to be public,and is clearly specified.

I feel "sorry" for Adobe,because this is what you gain in this world when you try to be fair and honest.

people complain that they can't cancel an annual subscription on Adobe products?But don't make me laugh please it's a joke!

first of all if someone agrees to sign up for an annual subscription,it's all written in the terms,everything very clearly,and then they should be grateful that Adobe gives the possibility to cancel an annual subscription by paying a penalty which I think is 50% of the remaining months,so they should be grateful that it is possible to do so,because they have signed an annual subscription.

then people complain that "it's difficult" to cancel a subscription to Adobe products,I have always found everything extremely simple and clear,never had any problems.

I often paid the monthly installment late,never had a problem.

it's a similar discussion as it is also written in the article,for Amazon,which was accused of being difficult to cancel a Prime subscription,another huge nonsense,because it has always been extremely simple.

then people complain that Adobe allows the creation of img to img,they complain about copyright infringement and they complain about everything,then when Adobe updates the terms to be able to start solving many of the problems that people complain about,then the people are complaining because they feel outraged by Adobe's attempt to address the problems that people have complained about before!

allow me to say that I really find a lot of irony in all this!

Keep it up!

360 nominated,i removed those that were already in the free collection for last year.

i believe that we will all have 5 to 10% selected,perhaps someone can reach 20% selected among those nominated,but i think it will be difficult.

If they accept all 360,that's fine with me,there is a lot of equipment I would like to buy! 

last week I had the best week of the last 11 weeks,I'm not saying it was an exceptional week but OK,in DL numbers,Instead regarding earnings the week at the end of May was better.

you have 4200 contents,for how long?How long have you been a contributor on Adobe?you have AI only or even real content?

normally review are done in less than 30 days,it may happen that they are late but in rare cases.

anyway yes,start to be late for Autumn content,it's time to send the Christmas content now.
