To read forums on many of the sites, the industry appears to be at a turning point - over-saturated libraries, low image views, poor communication, search (keyword) issues, redundancy, inspection overload, low return on investment... these are just some of the symptoms. Change is on the horizon. Some sites appear healthier than others, but it all depends on who you ask. There are a lot of smart people here - If you could be the microstock GOD for a day - what would you do for the industry to revitalize it, to give it a permanent fix?

Here's a radical one: Forced exclusivity across the board! - Contributors have to pick a favorite and put all of their eggs in that basket. Think about what that would do - Sites would become known for their images, their unique contributors and the culture that grows there. The cream will rise to the top, along with the compensation... ?

What would you do?
