My images are there too. They are showing a contributor name I only use at Adobestock. Partner program perhaps.

Off Topic / Re: Russian photographers should be banned!« on: February 27, 2022, 07:32 »
A return to a full cold war means cessation of all trade and commerce between opposing blocks of nations. Putin has factored this in and is prepared to export his energy and commodities to China and unaligned nations. Photographers and small business owners will find themselves limited to domestic markets. The image factories will probably find a way to transfer their digital assets and/or accounts to neutral nations. It's the little guys who always get hurt.

Is there any reason to leave your property at 500px / Visual China Group? Is there any upside at all? If not why stay?

Alamy.com / Re: Commission lowered to 20%« on: May 20, 2021, 20:03 »Just as I thought 250$ in commission is not a problem for me personally...I had 2 sales for 10 cents each. I never had a 10c sale on Alamy, so maybe 250 will be a challenge after all. I have not had any sales for less than $3. I opted out of novel use along time ago. Perhaps the penny sales are from that. Are you opted in for novel use? Note: I'm currently opted in for distributor sales (but reconsidering) and will drop exclusivity (specialty items) soon.. since I see no upside to continuing with that. 8

General Stock Discussion / Re: Microstock vs. Unsplash« on: March 30, 2021, 19:54 »
Maybe they intend to populate istock's offerings with newly acquired Unsplash content. Then increase their profits by skewing the search results towards said content. Customers need not know the content is also available as creative commons. Contributors need not be paid because they already gave away all rights.

Visual China Group would be more likely. They bought Corbis... and distribute for Getty in China.

Shutterstock.com / Re: I think we should push for a criminal investigation of SS's payout structure« on: June 19, 2020, 17:15 »
It's not criminal.. though it may feel criminal. It's called capitalism and we are free to take our art and leave. At this point it's best to support and promote companies that support artists. Sadly my workflow upload list is getting pretty short.

Shutterstock.com / Re: NYT wants to know if workers are paid fairly« on: June 17, 2020, 21:31 »
My state considers me a gig worker because I pay income tax, self employment tax and LLC tax... and because all my income is from 1099s. However... artists and agencies is a very different system compared to drivers and Uber / Lyft. I don't think any of us are paid fairly.

Seems possible that Shutterstock could re-suck material in from their Big Stock subsidiary. Unchecking the Big Stock "partner program" box should be considered due diligence.
