The five year lock in is bizarre to the point of stupidity.  Contributors should have the right to leave at anytime.  Especially when the site changes it's TOS and pricing.

A five year lock in, 30% commission and custom punishment pricing.  Not contributor friendly.

Looks like their disappearing portfolio bug is back.  My port dropped by 150 Sunday night...

First of all I appreciate 500px listening to us and interacting in this forum.  Secondly the water mark needs to centered and real. 

I'm really only interested in licensing.  I do not upload to flicker or bother with facebook and all the rest.  Views mean nothing to me.  If I join 500px I'd prefer to opt out of the "photo sharing community".

Regarding feedback:
With all due respect, the lack of an automatic watermark option across all display platforms is simply lame.

Happens often.

I stopped uploading video to istock when the HD price was cut.  The 4K pricing reinforces that decision.

The five year lock in is the main reason I passed on this site.  The low 30% commission is the other reason. 

511
As always, I believe we should be allowed to opt out of these kind of schemes. 

512
Hmmmm...  Seems my photos are at art.com too.  No mention of artist name either. 

513
I use Graphic Converter 9 (for mac) instead of lightroom.  It offers a lot for the money.

514
Fotolia needs a partner site opt out.  The new owners should embrace a higher standard. 

515
My port is there too.  Would like to know who they are partnered with. 

516
In the past, many of us gave our images to 'low earners' because they were new, and we hoped they'd grow into meaningful competition to the big agencies while holding some sort of line on price.   That didn't happen - the small agencies stayed small, didn't differentiate themselves in meaningful ways, and in fact competed mainly on price.  Some of them are now the worst offenders, with deceptive giveaway programs and shadowy 'partner' networks.

I agree with the above and have come to view non earners to be loose ends. Some of those loose ends have dozens of dubious "partner sites" with bizarre pricing, account/copyright names removed, insufficient thumb nails... and more.  I've begun removing material from sites that fit that description.

Fotolia should set the default to NO.. all the time. 

518
Do end users prefer 30 fps or the NTSC 29.97 fps standard? 

519
My portfolio has also reappeared on DPC despite being opted out.  I HATE THIS.  Writing Fotolia support now.

They should give contributors the ability to self delete.

Yea...  The missing files in my port are back.  They must of fixed the bug.

My portfolio size dropped by 364 files last night.  Looks like they have bugs... again.

Nicely written.  From my observations the article seems completely accurate.

Selling Stock Direct / Re: Do you recommend Symbiostock?
« on: May 10, 2015, 20:07 »
I've watched Symbio with interest... but stayed on the sidelines.  IMO: Symbiostocks global search engine needs improvement.  For example - there should be a way to separate photos from illustrations and commercial from editorial.   

Symbio could be a great success if its global search tool is comparable to established agencies.  To compete with agencies Symbio needs to look like an agency... while loudly proclaiming it's artist direct fair trade origin. 

525
I thank them for their interest and tell them I do not give my art away for free.
