Is there anyway to exclude sales to China?

the port that is now 11,193 images strong.
How many unique images out of 11,193?

When Stan arrived in April 2020, SSTK was $32 (after years of 'meandering' between $50 and $30) and a year later it was at $90 another 6 months on and it was at $120. Stan did exactly what Jon wanted him to do...get the stock price up and fast
I'm not sure how much you could contribute the raise of the stock to Stan. Almost every technology company went up during those crazy lockdown times.

staffing a department to clean up the database of all the dross they've approved in the last few years, sort out the search so that it doesn't return rubbish

The faster approach would be start fresh.

Two of my images with over 1000 downloads at shutterstock, only a few megapixels in size, taken years ago with a poor compact camera and certainly not accepted in terms of quality today, still sell regularly.
I have a few images like this. I even uploaded a better versions of those images, but people still buying a poor quality photos.

Imagine you are CEO of SS starting tomorrow. How would you improve it?

I guess Stan's mornings will look a little different now from April 12th...

Interesting there are no indications about anything in the article ...

This is why only way to approach this is as hobby and enjoy the photography which can be very rewarding in non-materialistic way.  Anything else is just bonus

My Photoshop skills dramatically improved after I started doing stock photography :)

84
I need to create more images people want to pay for.
I know what people want, but still too lazy now :) I mean I'm still taking those photos, but lazy to upload. May be one cold winter day ...

On Shutterstock I don't upload on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Me too :)

You can see security heading towards me and I managed to escape on my bike!
I may have a few photos like this. I always watch my surrounding who those security guards. :)

I started to take and upload a lot of photos during lockdown. What else to do, when everything is closed. It's time to move on.

87
I have found stock photography less interesting in recent months. My uploads have diminished perhaps 15-20 images this month. I'm still taking photos, but just store them on hard drive. How about you?

88
How do I find a free images in my portfolio?

89
I agree. I've always said, you are not competing with the whole database - you are only competing with those who share the same keywords as you.

It's interesting to see how many people are missing the correct keywords ...

Is this feature new? I mean the ability to exclude artists by country? I tried Russia and removed ~20K images of Eiffel Tower

My lifetime is $1.77 on SS, but it's slowly going down.

SS is total waste of time. My March RPD there is 0.214.
~50 cents for me last 3 months on SS.

And there we go again... 50 sales today for $0.12 each ($2.86 in my pocket)
I have an impression that the buyer plans to resell them somewhere

I got this from Getty Image. Seriously? How it's going to help to sell my photos?
