but I've already seen sites where you can send in a couple of cell phone selfies and it will create 100 of professional looking portrait photographes with your face. 

Share addresses. I want to order a portrait for myself.

I predict poor demand for AI-generated photos and videos. Buyers want real life images, not fictional ones. Yes, a small part of buyers will create something artificial for themselves, if by that time it will still be free. But most of the buyer will only buy real content. Otherwise, if you think about it, then we can say that all manufacturers of photographic equipment will go bankrupt, because. who then will need cameras, light, etc. And then you can generally say that humanity will die out, because. it will be replaced by robots!

What are you all whining about. While there is time, go to another business, which means that you are sure that you will be left without a job.

Here people are already creating videos using AI.

There are sales, I think it's because I put my video in a free library. Advertising works.

Are there any sales there?

Is there anyone using Artgrid to sell footage? any comment?

Has anyone received their 1099-MISC from Envato/Videohive yet? I haven't received mine yet and it also doesn't appear under the tax summaries section yet either. I made between $600 and $20,000 USD on Envato this year (both Envato Market and Envato Elements combined).

My video is also on mixkit.co, it also periodically generates income + advertising.

Personally I believe our Russian colleagues do not support the war.

Naivete 100%. There, 90-95% of people are poisoned by propaganda. Of course, some may not support the war in the literal sense, but ask them whose Crimea and Donbass and most will tell you that this is Russia. Putin's support there is huge. Almost all stockers from Russia, in the description of the photo from Crimea they write that Crimea is Russia. This is propaganda, this is support for terrorism, occupation, war and genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Among those who don�t support the war, can they say so publicly? Even on an anonymish forum like MSG? Or will they end up arrested?

You rested only on the word war. Russians support the fascist regime and Putin, support the occupation of Crimea and Donbass, support Putin's demands for peace. This is enough for the Putin regime to do whatever it wants.
Of course there are 5%, maybe 10% of those who do not support all evil. But what is 10%? Any Russian stoker who writes in his stock photo that Crimea is Russia is already an accomplice in Russia's crimes.

MatHayward, on how many computers can I install Adobe Premiere?
And where can I find a new code, at what address?

It's not in Adobe's interest to contribute to Putin's propaganda or seen as fueling his criminal war machine.

Putin's propaganda already have a wide variety of options. From third-party resellers and buyout licenses (yes!) to de facto legalized piracy.
But you are talking about your colleagues, microstock contributors, who just want to do things right. Remember, codes are distributed inside the industry. How can you imagine propaganda on the Adobe Stock, for example?

Russians write that Crimea is Russia. In fact, Crimea is Ukraine!
