No more Trump, I presume.
(Thanks God they are white guys, no shootings at this time)
EDIT: 4 people dead now.
Wow terrible racist remark and fueling racial division, what's wrong with you. Did you catch the Trump Brain Disease?
No, as Sean said above, it was sarcasm.
This situation proves the US security services are systemically racist, given they had ample notice of yesterday's unrest.

It was Trabuco not Sean. Fueling hate, based on race, from either side of the issue, is still wrong.
Congress has confirmed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the next president and vice-president of the US - we need not bother with what Trump stands for much longer. His supporters need to wake up and get out of their blind denial.
Don't be taken in, like the Trumpsters were, by emotional motivations, that aren't based on the deeper truth and information. https://www.prageru.com/video/blm-leaders-in-their-own-words/
Some policemen were taking selfies with the protesters. Why? They seem to be much more afraid of unarmed black people in other demostrations gathering there... Armed white lunatics with confederate flags and pipe bombs seemed to be old mates. I think the police forces should have used the force to avoid the siege... I mean, they were walking in so easily carriying bombs and guns. Anyway, I can delete the "joke". Bad moment to sarcasm. Please, apologize me.

Running wild into the 3rd World.
4 people dead at this time. Watching the pictures seems that the bodyguards have shot protecting the doors behind a barricade while the congressmen runaway. The oldest democracy in the world has collapsed. A lesson for all of us.
Hope Trump face Justice for this.

A good thing about royaties cut: We upload less stuff and can talk about politics here. In fact I'm thinking in stop uploading to all agencies. With the pictures I have now I can buy some equipment every year, I hope.
Happy new year and stay safe. The 3rd wave in Europe is scaring.

Well, so the british, the german and the dutch call us "non white" or "spaniard white"  It's like a joke. I really like to be black, I love the Blues.
I think that the same thing is happening here and in the rest of western countries, not just in the USA and, in the USA, not just in one side. There is hate speech everywhere and polarized societies in all countries. Politicians and media are crap everywhere, not just in one side. Have to think that most of Trump voters read several newspapers and watch several tv channels too. At least in the same proportion that Biden voters.
In Europe It's really hard to read a newspaper. Some media like The Guardian just invent the news, I have read fake news about Spain. And in Spain all newspapers and tv channels are garbage. All of them, pure s.
So, we have the same problems. We are lucky because we have a bigger structure over the countries with strong rules in some issues, but without the EU Europe would become a jungle. But we have some kind of stability that is our biggest richness. We are going to see soon our strongness together with the british chaos.
Maybe in America people have to find a way to fight for a better life beyond the two parties. Poverty is a domination mechanism in both capitalist and communist countries.
Completely agree with you! I live in a socialist country and a lot of people are eating crap, despite the false promises of socialism about equality and better quality of life. 
In Europe and in Spain we should make a clear bet for democracy and prosperity in Hispanoamrica. We should focus on there not just for pictures in summits.

@ Trabuco I know we do not agree on politics. No problem.
Now that you have two winning presidents, divide the country, so the taxes are managed independently. In addition to education in schools. Health. Hate and freedom of expression. Abortion, immigration, transsexuals, gays, feminists, lame and bald. And the entire pack.
Well, what I don't understand of the USA are mainly the basic things. And we agree in that. Can be wrong in our view but not in rights like good education, freedom of speech, health, abortion or gay marriage and adoption. I mean, if you have to pay more than a few bucks (or cents with prescription) for an asthma inhaler then you are not free. You can like or dislike this, but If you go to bankrupt when you are ill how can you talk about freedom? Or if you can't raise a child without bank loans. I mean, in Europe we are not all f commies. I don't like commies as you realize. The USA reminds me another recent empire with people living worse each year and a insane military budget eating all the taxes from their money. Plus the f crazy people growing and growing... claiming weird things with machine guns. I really like the American people and their culture, but can't understand well the country, is like an illusion where big salaries mean nothing at this time. Please no offense, you crazy americans. I'm pretty sure my view of the country is quite wrong and I'm not giving any lesson. Europe is screwed too. Love, respect and happy new year to all of you.

Maybe we should not mix different things, Tenebroso. Spanish Civil War is a very complex conflict with no similarities in the American History and not easy "good ones" and "bad ones" In fact, the organizations which these women came from were a part of Russian repression in Madrid.
Of course these women were guilty of nothing, their assassination was another awful war crime.
But the USA is not Europe in the 30's and European Communism from this age is a really bad example.

I mean:
Main goal of SS and IS: earn money with stock. Cut royalties is a logical move.
Main goal of AS: earn money with software. Cut royalties is not a logical move, because they want to become a monopoly in other area. The logical move is to get good creators of content to support their software area. So their customers don't have to go anywhere else.
How do I get these creators? Stealing them to s.h.it.ty companies. The best move is to get all of them if I can, which is easy, because they treat the creators like sh.it.

There is one company that have a great chance to overcome the two big ones now. A smart movement would be to claim a better deal with this company, because I think they are really not interested in to get more pennies from contributors. They actually can rise the royalties if they want.

Really hard to understand for me.
In my pdf:
35 sales 22.5 USD including 3 connect sales?
487 files in connect? Using them for free? 3 in the pdf, one for free, one for 0.04, one for 10.82.
The cool thing is that most of my sales are in the USA. Can't reach this market in SS.
Hard for me to understand as well. My connect sales (did you download that or you can import into a database as a CSV even though it's market .txt) says I have uses in California and Australia, varying from the three for 15 to that one for .00012 commission? Most are in the .03 and .003 sets. 3 cent download, or is that 3 cent and a third of a cent uses or views? I still don't understand Connect.
Those are different from the downloads in the other data. I had two of these this month.
0.04$ 1 iStock Essentials ILLUSTRATION
That's supposed to be 20% of something? 
Things could be worse, you could still have your SS account open and get $11.60 for those 116 downloads and that is at 35% hahahaha.
I got 17 dollars from 116 downloads. The pits. But then I'm the idiot to still have an istock account active.
You know that's not true. I'm only level four and my rpd for November on SS was $.64 and I'm hardly a top producer of quality content. Sure the 10c downloads sting, but contrary to people who try to say that's all we get, the numbers are much better. AS is of course much better. Even my bottom end images are making me .90 rpd on Adobe.
Oh kind of back on topic, IS was 36 rpd cents for November.
Almost all my connect are from Washington and Bing. My rpd is still a bit higher on SS but... with these sales I can't make money. Not good enough to sale millions of pictures for 0.10 or 0.03.

Thank you. My husband of 53 years died Tuesday night, peacefully and painlessly with me at his side. It was a relief in many ways, because he had suffered through a long, difficult series of events. He is at peace now, and I am too.
This was not Covid or any normal disease. In 2011, he suffered through two rounds of viral encephalitis (an extremely rare inflammation of the brain). Although he survived that, it left him with brain damage and epilepsy. Managing the epilepsy has dominated our lives these last 9 years, but about 6 weeks ago the medications stopped working. He developed an end-stage condition called Status epilepticus, where the seizures just go on and on and on with stopping. His lasted 48 hours before they finally burned out.
If anyone is curious, Johns Hopkins University has a clear explanation on its website:
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/status-epilepticus
Sorry to read that. Stay strong Martha.

I'm still wondering why almost all my sales there are 0.1...
What level are you? This is where the 10c sales come from. Large subscription packs of 350 or 750. Anything in the pink (or salmon?) is where we get a 10c commission.
The reason for the white was, only place where anyone would get more than the old, entry level 25c for a sub. Everything else is less. And considering how easy it was to get to 36c a download, or 38c a download (at $10,000 lifetime sales), of course this represents a substantial cut. In my case I make around 65%% less now, for subs, than before the change.
10c subs are the minimum when the commission would have been less than 10 cents, based on what the customer pays.
Top line, level one, just for an easy to see example. Customer pays .57 an image, and at 15% we'd get, $0.0855 but that's below minimum, so SS pays us the minimum.
If you look down to 750 images with advance billing, the buyer pays .22 an image, at 15% we'd get $.033 per sub download. Instead SS raises that to 10 cents. Which is about 300% of what the buyer paid. That kind of pack, never reaches any of our payment percentages for any level.
35 days to reset 
My level is ridiculous. I have started now to have constant sales every day. But I used to have bigger sales before all this crap...
