Skip the silly dashboard and bookmark the earnings summary page.

Sales are 79% less than 2016. It's a steady path to nothing.

I do not submit to ClipDealer yet thousands of my shots are there. Who are they partners with?

I opted out immediately, but that was for future uploads - can't find how to opt out for the 10.000 previous uploads?
Go to manage content and open the accepted folder. You should see a opt out button for existing content. Then check back later and manually edit/change the shots that failed to change.

I have a few hundred object isolations in my portfolio so I did a couple of tests. The PNG renditions from my photoshop/raw files yielded tiff sized results. I had to reduce image size a bit to get them below 45 megs. Reworked jpeg results were far smaller - about 5 megs. Is higher res/less compression a selling point for the PNGs? If so will 45 megs remain the limit?
Overall it would take quite a bit of effort to rework a few hundred files. (I tend to polish as I go.) I'm wondering if it will be worth the time. If so.. I'd like to get started.
In Photoshop when you save as PNG, it should give you the options of "large", "medium" or "small" file size at the expense of the time it takes to encode the image. My understanding is PNGs use lossless compression for all three file size options (look it up to be sure).
I tried those buttons. The resulting file sizes were the same. Odd.

I noticed I was auto-opted in to plus when I opened manage content - accepted. The opt out in account settings / preferences settings is for "future uploads" only. So I had to opt out twice to avoid the "plus" plan. Purposely poor communication is a very sleazy way of doing business. Pondering permanently removing all my content.

RE: Found my images there:
Revised: My images there are from a deposit photos partnership.

I also started receiving 12 sales despite being opted out of distribution and novel use. I wrote support to confirm my opt outs.

My images are there too. They are showing a contributor name I only use at Adobestock. Partner program perhaps.

The way things like that usually work:
- A site where you have an account was breached (123RF and 500px for instance were breached in the past), and your personal information like name, username, address, password and whatsoever fell into the hands of those who know what to do with it and how to use it. ...
Yes, but the question is how, if I reset the password and log in to my account, that account becomes inaccessible to me again, with a different password? And so 4 times in the last year? If I reset the password via my home email, then how did he get his account back every time?
Malware or spyware in your computer transmitting your keystrokes.. maybe?

A return to a full cold war means cessation of all trade and commerce between opposing blocks of nations. Putin has factored this in and is prepared to export his energy and commodities to China and unaligned nations. Photographers and small business owners will find themselves limited to domestic markets. The image factories will probably find a way to transfer their digital assets and/or accounts to neutral nations. It's the little guys who always get hurt.

Looks like hd and 4k are priced the same. Is this new? https://www.123rf.com/stock-footage/I removed my footage from three other sites to avoid the Pond5 price match.. thinking about doing the same @ 123.

Is there any reason to leave your property at 500px / Visual China Group? Is there any upside at all? If not why stay?

and your advice is ...... opt in or not !??
I assume the offer is attached to an "unlimited" download plan. I am out.

Just as I thought 250$ in commission is not a problem for me personally...I had 2 sales for 10 cents each. I never had a 10c sale on Alamy, so maybe 250 will be a challenge after all.

I have not had any sales for less than $3. I opted out of novel use along time ago. Perhaps the penny sales are from that. Are you opted in for novel use? Note: I'm currently opted in for distributor sales (but reconsidering) and will drop exclusivity (specialty items) soon.. since I see no upside to continuing with that.

Maybe they intend to populate istock's offerings with newly acquired Unsplash content. Then increase their profits by skewing the search results towards said content. Customers need not know the content is also available as creative commons. Contributors need not be paid because they already gave away all rights.

Visual China Group would be more likely. They bought Corbis... and distribute for Getty in China.

Opt out from Deposit Partner sites?
I even didnt know, we can do it.
What kind of partners are they? Mostly with very very cheap descriptions and with many free images to get for buyers?
I should opt out, too?
Because any agency, which offers my images for free without my permissions, I want to avoid, if possible.
Not easy these days, if we do not research good enough to find out, on which ways (partners) buyers can get our images for free.
Deposit and 123RF are even the last ones I upload my images - or the first ones for my very bad images LOL
Yay, I just quit, too, on SS still only my worst images are left.
I am still waiting for a reply from Getty/eyeEm and iStock in the case of free images on Promo.com. Depending on their answers, I will delete my accounts there. Well, not really! We need them to delete all the images first and keep our accounts open to be able to investigate, if they are still selling our images without permission - like Yay is doing years after closing accounts.
Free images?
How many times I read here, that all are against uploading images to free stock photos sites! Right! But if the agencies are offering our images for free, where is the difference?
Then I prefer to upload selected images on free stock photo sites on my own instead.
They used to have an opt out button. Seems to be gone now.. Perhaps contributor support can explain.

I guess Stockphoto.com is a reseller for Deposit or Deposit owns this site.
I just deactivate some photos on Deposit and interesting: That photos are also on Stockphot.com and signed as not available right now, please do not download.
Other photos from me have the download link.
So fast signed as not available? I guess Deposit is driving that Stockphot.com not someone else.
I'm not seeing my DepositPhotos material there. I opted out of the DP partner program. Maybe it's a "partner" site.

A little something extra.
I use FireFox monitor to monitor my emails for breaches But I'm sure there are many other aps out there that also do this.
I like to cover a little extra bases with this. 
That was new to me. Looks like a nice tool. Thanks
