this place is becoming more negative than ever, now even doing stock is CRAP

I really don�t understand, ok the money is the more important and yes you will collect royalties after royalties, you are the man but all this talk every week, almost everyday about devaluating work is really annoying but sure it makes competition more bored and perhaps depressed to the point of stop eheh just like other strategy it might work

A slight boost for indies during 'decision month'?

nice upgrade on royalties for 40% at iRockstock, great job

Author Dashboard is very slow and turn 90% of the time into an error

Kicked out?  Why was that?

told on a topic here they were dead because I had 2 sales in 2 years

after saying so, I got a email telling that they no longer want to pursue "business" with me, SO SAD!

a new BME again, and the first over 1k $

123RF is becoming a very good earner over FT, DT, IS

going to Antigua, will be beach, drink, food and some around that small island, hope for great pictures and moments!

I will be on trip too next 2 weeks, don�t ask me why but I am thinking about Editorial too, might not sell this or that but I really wanna approach more people and take pictures of other lives (street, working, etc) on their natural environment, perhaps that feeling of getting envolved and know what others do is becoming more interesting to me, quite inspiring actually

never heard of them thanks!!!

true, their upload is smooth if you dont have MR pictures

Amen.  Uploading MR's repeatedly, according to each upload batch, is archaic - this is something Photodune needs to seriously reconsider, because it's not microstock industry standard at all.  Normally you upload the MR once, and assign them later on in the backend, prior to submission of successive images.

yep!

It's interesting that so many top contributors will accept 25% commissions, low prices and very low EL prices from a low selling site.  I can understand why others then join them.  It just fills me with fear for the future of microstock.  

We shouldn't always assume that the top contributors get the same c****y conditions as the rest.
Theoretically a new site could offer excellent terms to some top contributors, like upload bonus, 50% or more commission and see what would happen:
the muppets see Yuri's port on such a theoretical site and would instantly queue to upload their stuff there, even if the site paid them 10 cents for an EL. The muppets cannot think independently, they have to follow somebody but don't understand that what applies to Yuri, doesn't always have to apply to them or to other people - different league, different rules. Few weeks later other sites cut commissions and prices in order to stay competitive with the low-ball agency and the muppets can only change their avatars to "contributor against proposed commission changes" . The urge to earn a few bucks more makes them blind and they fail to see the relationship between the cause and the effect.

those muppets you are talking are the ones killing microstock? were they the ones that asked for 15% royalties at IS? gime me a break my friend and talk seriously and perhaps work a little instead of talking without thinking

p.s: this will be my last post on this topic, not going to be the scapegoat
