Uploaded a new video on the topic - Is Stock Photography Dead?
There's plenty of opinions on this topic so here's my stab at analyzing the Stock Photography industry.
I'm certain I missed a few points but here are my thoughts on the matter.
Thanks for viewing and hope you subscribe to my Channel.
Thanks

Raul you did not mention the roll of photo factories in this game, small companies with overhead expenses fully dedicated to create stock content
I mentioned them in the Contributor pyramid section in the opening about "The Producers". Thanks

I've been using the Easy Release app on my iphone the past several years. It's been a big time saver and as the name suggests its very easy to use. It's accepted by Adobe, SS, istock, DT, 123RF, Deposit and others.

Indeed I have had some success with signs for stock photography. I just need to concentrate more on capturing them. To often I'm into the the visual scene or landmark and not into the identification and location detail. Thanks for posting your reminder.
Yes, it's easy to forget what's right in front of us and often a good seller. Hope you subscribed to my channel.

Some good info in your channel, impressed at the level of details and thought process provided. I didn't know agencies may accept the same image with different crop ratios.
Thanks! I've been lucky with the acceptance of cropped versions. Thanks for subscribing to my channel.

Here is Adobe's response. Not much legalize but of course they point you to the Adobe Stock contributor guide Dear Raul, We hope you're well.We have discussed your case with our seniors and as per them, there is no issue in using the given skies under photoshop to modify and sell the images on any online platform. For further information please refer to the terms and conditions on adobe stock. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/stock/contributor/user-guide.html Thanks for working with us, Adobe Customer Care

I called Adobe and they informed me their sky images can be used for any commercial application, including stock. I requested an official documented response outlining usage - let's see if they send anything from their legal/compliance group. Nevertheless, I wouldn't use their images and prefer my own.
