If I remember correctly, the Motionarray agency was created by ordinary stockers. And in a few years, this agency began to bring in good income. Stockers need to create another agency like this.

Does anyone sell photos on this site? How is the income?
They sent to the contributors a Happy New Year cut on 01.01.2025. Its the second cut in 3 years. The first one was when the new owners took over. We had a zoom call with the new owners then and they assured us that everything will be as before......well not really. After they took over they started calculating the earnings differently so it resulted in 30-50% down. Now on February 15 we will see what is the damage this time. In fact there is a nice discussion on reddit and linkedin that can shed light to your question. You can see part of that zoom call and what they say .

Am I the only one with a decrease in income? 
Nope.
By what percentage has your income decreased?

Uncle Pete, maybe Shutterstock does something, but not as fast as you want. Or maybe Shutterstock only attacks its long-standing authors. Or maybe the thieves slightly change the file name or its size. I know that some authors were banned just because they shot in the same location with another author. At the same time, at a tourist site you may not even know who these people are around you and for whom they are filming.

Interesting thread, thanks! Yes - the isralie company that acquired them seem to be liars, and instead focusing on stuffing their own pockets. I don't upload there any more because it is a waste of time.
Are you sure this is an Israeli company? I read that Artgrid bought them. Did you upload videos or photos there?

Usually Shutterstock is very good at tracking copies of photos or videos, if it finds a copy in another account, it bans that account very quickly. So I am surprised that thieves upload the same works to different accounts and Shutterstock does not ban them automatically.
No they don't, that's the problem.
I disagree. I was in a situation where I uploaded a photo taken by a friend of mine. He also uploaded this photo to the site. We both quickly received a warning and wrote explanations. I have read many similar stories on the Internet and on this forum as well. And many were not as lucky as us, many were banned by Shutterstock.

kuriouskat, I don't know what the rules are now for registering a new account, but when my document was about to expire, Shutterstock required me to upload a new document. Maybe Shutterstock doesn't require this anymore. Yes, a person has only one Tax ID number. But it can be faked, because it's a photo, you can change any number. And the Tax ID number is only needed if the fraudster fills out a tax form, but he may not fill it out. As for the payment account, it probably has to be strictly individual on Shutterstock (not necessary on other stocks). And yes, it's unclear how the fraudster will withdraw money. Shutterstock sends money only to 3 payment systems. Maybe you can have multiple accounts on Skrill, but I'm not sure. So, if the fraudster can't withdraw money, how does he withdraw it?
It seems that you can also create an account on PayPal without documents. But PayPal does not work in all countries. Just as Skrill and Payoneer do not work in all countries.

I also want to create many accounts and not be blocked. I will not sell stolen goods!

To create an account, you need to upload a valid passport. Do these people have so many passports? After all, Shutterstock not only deletes the portfolio, it also blacklists the author by passport.
Not these days, a photo ID isn't required.
If I get banned from Shutterstock, can I create another account and not show Shutterstock any of my documents? I think you are wrong.

I've joined MediaCastPro about two years ago, back when it was still free to upload content. Despite uploading thousands of videos, I have never sold a single one, which seems quite strange.
We can close this topic, it's a scam.

Now of course, Nixon and Kissinger were the devils that did this to the world.
I heard that Kissinger is largely to blame. He is responsible for a lot.

But because of the idiotic policy of the US at that time, Taiwan was expelled from the UN. The idiotic policy of the US led to the emergence of the Chinese monster in the end.
So Republicans led to the emergence of the 'Chinese monster', as they were in power in 1971. Excellent... sounds like you're finally starting to understand.
Not exactly. In 1979, Democrat Jimmy Carter began trade and investment in china. This, more than anything else, led to the creation of a monster.

I am not Chinese, but China is a country that has existed for millennia, long before many other nations even came into being. That alone suggests a depth of wisdom accumulated over time. As a society, they place great value on tradition, heritage, and education.
 Suitcase-train station-china-communist party. Legitimate and democratic china, with history, is only Taiwan. Initially, in the UN, only Taiwan represented the whole of china. But because of the idiotic policy of the US at that time, Taiwan was expelled from the UN. The idiotic policy of the US led to the emergence of the Chinese monster in the end. As for your statement: 'China finances all the world's terrorists, supports genocide, created COVID-19 as a weapon of mass destruction, and supplies fentanyl-based drugs to the EU and the US to kill millions of people of mobilization age' - that is a highly questionable claim to accept at face value. Neither I nor anyone outside the highest levels of government can ever fully know the absolute truth, so I will not engage in a discussion based on speculation.
You don't read newspapers, you're not interested in politics, so you're illiterate in these matters. I wrote the known truths. Moreover, china is the enemy and threat №1 for the US, which is written in the US security strategy. Praising china is the same as praising russia, north korea, iran or belarus. All these countries form the axis of world evil.

Don't get me wrongI have been to China on multiple occasions, so I understand that its largely about data control. But in the end, it's a battle of giants. What matters most to me is that ordinary people will have the opportunity to use this technology and create something meaningful.
These are not ordinary people, these are communists. China has a totalitarian regime. Moreover, china finances all the world's terrorists and supports genocide. Covid 19 is a weapon of mass destruction made in china. Fentanyl-based drugs that china supplies to the EU and the US are also weapons and kill millions of people of mobilization age. There is a war going on, World War III, and china is not a friend, but an enemy.
