This may explain my sudden drop.
Generally on average $250 - $300 a month from the 15th to 15th billing period.  Fairly consistently for a fair amount of time.  Not much but it all helps.

Suddenly this paying period instead of that average ive made a grand total of 1 sale for a massive $2.80.  Combined with that my views have dropped significantly literally overnight.

Maybe its a coincidence but quite possibly the cap is hitting me.  I had no idea there was a trial cap until i saw this thread (and had no idea P5 had a forum).

Hows that free health in the UK working?

For urgent/emergency care its great.
For non urgent surgery and treatments its not so great.  Waiting lists for things like eye operations and so on are 2-3 years on average in some areas.
Roughly 3.5 week wait for an appointment to see your GP.

Nothing to explain the price.

Its showing version HD, license LLP NLR $7 and i get $2.80.

The clip itself is set at $49 for a HD clip, $20 for web.

I cant work out where $2.80 comes from in there at all, its far lower than anything i set it to.

is said here (and on various other sites) to be in the Caymans:

That one i can confirm first hand.   Its a terrible photo of people sat on the stern of the ex USS Kittiwake.  And also a minimum of 4 years old because since then the wreck has been moved and tilted over twice in storms and isnt vertical.
(Ive taken 100s of shots of that wreck through work!).

Edit:- Just read all that article, it was actually me with the guy and the last photo (diver by the stern of the wreck) is my image (not sold on or used on stock sites)

Its probably a good idea to understand where contributors fit into the MS food chain these days.

Quite simply, we're expendable.  These days everyone has a phone, has a camera and will give images for pennies or even nothing at all.  So we're replaceable and dont matter in the slightest to them.  If someone objects to a new price or terms, they'll be immediately replaced by 3 or 4 others who are happy with it.

A tiny tiny percentage of MS contributors overall submit images of a unique and high standard which would be hard to replace but the majority do not and from an MS point of view, wont be missed.

We need to stop thinking the sites need or care about us in the slightest - they dont. 

Photos taken on the space station.  Not at all suspicious. 

Not that an astronaut wouldn't have a side hobby of selling stock photos, but how could they be doing the underwater photography while they're in space?

Whilst single handedly documenting the iran crisis.

The port is still up.

My download *numbers* are steady the last few weeks.  But my download revenue is way way down below 50% of average.  2-3 weeks ago something happened and my steady revenue per download over many months dropped massively.

Is there any way to edit/change the entire set of keywords on previously approved images by pasting in a new set (as you can do prior to submission)?
Ive tried deleting them all on the image in question then pasting in my normal coma separated batch but it doesnt seem to work - the engine treats them all as a single keyword and doesnt enable the OK box.

The reason for asking is ive submitted a load of images with completely incorrect keywords due to my having to repaste in the priority order ones from a CSV in Bridge since LR still wont support priority keyword export.  Entirely user error which i didnt notice at the time.

The end result is a load of pictures of windfarms with completely inappropriate keywords about roadworks and bridges etc.  I assume nobody manually checks keywords on review either as they should not have been approved like that!

Another thing i cant get to work - batch editing on submitted images.  I select multiple images, change the keyword by manually typing in one at a time but the change only happens to one image not all the ones selected.  Does this work somehow or isnt it meant to work like that?

Normally on here i get relatively consistent monthly sales (within $20 or so each month of an average).

Ive had one really odd day in May where someone bought 11 pages worth of subscriptions - a large chunk of my portfolio here which is extremely unusual to the point of being suspicious.

Has anyone seen anything like this before or have i just had my portfolio stolen to be reuploaded on SS and others by the photo thief mafia?

Sadly they seem to refuse to do anything except a per individual photo report.
So there's no system for reporting mass stolen portfolios and it would need the original copyright holder to be identified and individually report each image.

I;d be thoroughly checking the computer for trojans and malware (and absolutely ensuring random, long, unique passwords for every single thing logged into).

That's so racist.

No, its a basic statement of facts.
