This is like: The agencies will make money even when you're not making any money.
Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

I usually had at least 2 to 3 sales pending payment.
The last time I sold something was in January.
Any idea of what's going on?

"Now, as more people use AI to produce and publish content, an obvious question arises: What happens as AI-generated content proliferates around the internet, and AI models begin to train on it, instead of on primarily human-generated content? A group of researchers from the UK and Canada have looked into this very problem and recently published a paper on their work in the open access journal arXiv. What they found is worrisome for current generative AI technology and its future: We find that use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models. https://venturebeat.com/ai/the-ai-feedback-loop-researchers-warn-of-model-collapse-as-ai-trains-on-ai-generated-content/

Spend your time learning something AI can't make.
They won't need us in a near future.

The poll is not about "how you make money" it's about "how much money you make".
People complain about everything.

That's so exciting! They don't need photographers anymore.

It means that they will pay 0.5 cents per image (that's half of 1 cent).
They will probably have some "exciting" news that you'll have a premium account after paying them to bring your designs to the top of the search results.

Impressive numbers: https://www.similarweb.com/website/canva.com/#overviewThe site is the number 1 in its category, 104th global rank, 149th in the US... Very low bounce rate 29.99% ("as a rule of thumb, a bounce rate in the range of 26 to 40 percent is excellent"). Visitors: female 55.05% male 44.95%

A thread about Paypal became a place to push religious bs of people that resurrect from the dead and walked on water.

3 to 4 cents per image.
The race to the bottom is not over yet. There's another "level" coming soon: 1 cent per image.

Mass production is part of the AI.
The computers don't need to rest, take a coffee break.
Even if AI doesn't prevail it will still be a competitor. Something that didn't exist a few year ago.

I didn't think about that, Zsooofija.
Thank you!

Don't use gradients. Or at least that's the way it was for me in the past. They just didn't translate well when EPS files are opened in illustrator.
Yes, sure. I don't use gradients or transparency in the designs I save as EPS in Inkscape. Thank you!

"What's the problem with it?"
Basics of Economics: supply and demand, scarcity (what's abundant sells for less).
Something that can be created with a few clicks of a button can saturate the market really fast.
Automation will remove the humans from the production of the images.

I'm asking this question because I'm not sure if Inkscape can create "standard EPS" files.
Do they always open exactly they way they were created in other programs like Illustrator and Affinity Designer?
Any info is welcome.
Thanks!

"After Figmas sellout, its Adobe vs. Canva for dominance in design software After Figmas sellout, its Adobe vs. Canva for dominance in design software Adobes pending deal to buy Figma would remove a key competitor, making the battle to own the modern design software industry a two-horse race between Adobe and Canva. Figma established itself as the anti-Adobe. The company even has a webpage dedicated to the superiority of Figmas products. Then, CEO Dylan Field sold out to the sweet tune of $20 billion. He really had no choice. Adobe was visibly struggling after it misread the market and had to make a desperate bid for growth. And when a company backs up a dump truck of cash that size to your doorstep with reportedly no rival suitors around, no less you say yes. Now, with Figma set to become an autonomous unit within Adobe one that doesnt even report directly to the CEO and Adobe signaling it will seek to move its products onto Figmas cloud platform, all eyes are on Canva as the biggest roadblock to a total Adobe takeover."

"Deepfakes are no longer desired, fakes are now forlorn, and any AI-originated content will be ostracized from image hosting website Getty Images. Getty provided a communication originally sent to the sites contributors to Gizmodo confirming that, effective immediately, the site will deny any submissions created by AI image generators. Getty specifically mentioned that any images created using popular tools like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and MidJourney are now banned. In addition, any prior images uploaded to the site that were created using AI will be removed." ... More info here: https://gizmodo.com/getty-ai-art-dall-e-getty-images-ai-art-generators-1849563869

Se eu voltar pro Brasil como vou fazer pra receber os royalties?
Como funciona os pagamentos nestes casos no microstock e nos PODs?
A conta do Paypal pode ser mudada de pais?
Ha alguma dessas companias que exclue o Brasil, parece que o CafePress por exemplo nao tem o Brasil na lista de paises que pode ter contribuidores.
Qualque informacao e' apreciada. Obrigado!

Another "exciting news".
I'm starting to think that in the future "pay to list" will be a "feature".

IMHO it's not looking good.
Who started this race to the bottom thing?

Hmmm... They pay cents for the downloads?
That's probably explains why the owners of these stock/clipart sites are billionaires while paying the contributors just enough to buy a small bag of peanuts.
This would be hilarious if we were not talking about "businesses"... For them is a business, for the contributors a "charity".

Hello, sorry for bringing this thread back to life.
I hope this helps someone.
The settings I use on Inkscape for the EPS are these:
"Restrict to PS Level: PostScript Level 3
Output page size: Use document's page size
Bleed/margin : 0.0
Never use halos, gradients etc. The image has to be solid, no opacity less than 100%.
Never mix vectors with bitmaps in the same image (PNGs, JPGs etc).
Avoid using fonts.
