Please do us and yourself a favor and cancel your membership. You are obviously not satisfied with your sales and the buyers are not satisfied by your images. Otherwise you wouldn't have complained in the first place. There may be a better place for them and they may even bring you more money elsewhere. Let someone who appreciates what Stocksy is take your place. Believe me, there's a long line of people ready to do that.

A true competitor to Stocksy in terms of content and prices are Offset and 500px. Jen wanted to say that for instance Offset has a million dollar company behind its back and we are on our own and still kicking ass.

More restrictive? I've seen all kinds of models on Stocksy. You can't call an agency restrictive just because they have rejected one series.

I am appalled by the negativism some people are showing here. Yes, it has its flaws - the curation process and the whole agency has veered towards more bright and stocky images lately and they have relaxed the file acceptance process maybe a bit too much but it's still the best agency to be a contributor of and I am not talking only about the money. It sort of feels like a family. A place where your more artistic images can find their home and actually sell. A place where you do not worry about high ISOs or razor sharp focus. A place where you can experiment and actually focus on photography in its pure form. A VSCO filter will not make a bad image look better. A sharp image of a smiling girl eating a salad will not give that said image a soul. Forget this microstock mentality and just be happy that the industry has acquired places like Stocksy and Offset and that some of your fellow photographers have the opportunity to be part of this change. I believe that more similar agencies will come into existence. Places where the photographer receives a fair share of the pie (in the case of Offset it's not that big a slice but the higher prices are making it sweeter). If this industry continues on the same path we will soon see agencies offering images for free or as part of a freemium model (sort of like Spotify). Stop bashing at Stocksy and start demanding the same attitude it has towards its members from your agencies as well. Or we are all doomed.

The images look great, but most of them are too staged for Stocksy. You should present a greater variety and be really picky with what you select.

looking forward to see top contributors signing the petition, its looks like most small fish have no problem and will remove or stop uploading new content but and as usual the top guys will stick with it, that is why this won't go anywhere, every time we try and pull something the big ones have great excuses like massive expenses, mortgages, kids, dogs, cats and parrots!

I am not a big fish but microstock pays my loan (not big bug still 300 USD a month) and I even manage to tuck something away (I have a regular daytime job). Photographers should really come together or else the future does not look bright. Yes, I know -- crowdsourcing is doomed but we can still achieve something together.

Another low for the industry. Shame on you, Fotolia! That's why agencies like Stocksy will experience growth in numbers and clients -- high value images and satisfied photographers is the way to go.

Just resurrected an old thread. Same problem here.

Is it worth it to upload to those agencies then? If Sean makes just 130 USD in a month? I am still unable to reach a payout on 123rf after probably ten months there. I have around 130 USD on Dreamstime for a year now with over 1,000 images. Is this normal?

And this is how you kill an industry?

If ANY Company is losing revenue to Fotolia they are in deep Sh$!

I am sorry but Fotolia is one of the few companies that still has a somewhat decent review process and keeps a standard. The other agencies are accepting almost everything. This will pay in the long term.

Thank you again! It worked. One more thing - can I make the slideshow to take the whole width of the page? I want to remove those elements on the right -- for instance featured images -- to remove the whole right panel.

Thank you Kerioak~Christine! 

Hi guys! I've also made the jump with Symbiostock. I have two questions:

1. I have changed the permalinks to "post name". However, the URL of the images include "/image/stock-image-by-(my username)". How can I change it to display the name of the photo.

2. How can I change the layout of the first page? It says "Nothing Found" for posts. I want to remove the posts section and put a slideshow for instance.

Thank you in advance.
