iStockPhoto.com / Installing Deepmeta On A New Machine?« on: December 22, 2022, 13:23 »
I just setup a new computer, installed Deepmeta, and I would like to copy over all my Deepmeta data from the old computer to the new computer. I realize I could just download the data again directly from iStock, but a lot of the data in my existing Deepmeta install on the old computer contains file data no longer available from iStock, which I think is some data prior to 2017 which at one time might have been referred to as 2.0 data, but not certain. But I believe the only way to get all my data that I have now is to physically copy it over.
I am sure this question has been asked and answered many times, but I am not sure where to look for the information. So if anyone can please provide me the steps for copying my Deepmeta data from the old computer to the new computer that would be great. Thank you. 5

Agreed, Getty how about lowering the targets instead of increasing them to keep up with inflation and rising production costs and increased cost of living for their contributors around the world? But that's not their game plan obviously. Keep lowering prices in the race to the bottom and all the while screwing their suppliers even harder every year to keep the divide between the top 1% and the other 99% growing even more.

If at that time I am dissatisfied I will close my account. I don't see that option in the poll. Your welcome. According to the 75 poll results so far it seems the majority of people are not planning to change anything on their contributor accounts. I am kind of surprised seeing that so many people in the other thread stated they had either already deactivated all their files and/or closed their contributor accounts based upon the July 14th announcement. Perhaps many of those people have not cast their vote in this poll yet. 7

You may also get trolls placing fake votes to try and sway the results as well. Or other members placing votes who are not iStock contributors, just because they are curios to see the poll results. Thank you and agreed. Like anything else, there will always be bad apples in a bushel. We can only hope though that people will act in good faith. And I would say we probably have more good apples on this forum than bad ones. 9

UPDATE: As of this moment, 40 forum member votes have been placed in the poll already. But poll results will only be visible now after you have voted. Please place your vote and poll results will appear immediately. If you are not an iStock contributor at present, please don't vote. Thank you.

Don't worry, they will fix it with a 20% discount coupon on credit packs so that "you" pay for the outage twice.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Did iStock shut down classic picture view?« on: June 15, 2016, 14:14 »
Yup, sadly it appears to be gone. No more lightbox linking now. What a shame. I also don't think buyers can see how many times a file has been downloaded anymore. Descriptions no longer seem to show on image closeup pages anymore either. I guess images only will require a title now when submitting.

Great, glad to hear you are still doing so well. And thank you for kindly sharing all that information with us. 16

Great, thank you. So it is really the GI sales from both stills and video you feel which has increased your income and provided the BME recently? Also, have you seen an overall drop in income though on stills on the iStock site since 2012? 17

Thank you for the data. Two questions please: 1 - What year did you first start uploading to iStock as an exclusive? Was it around 2010? 2 - Have you continued to upload regularly since you became exclusive with iStock? 18
iStockPhoto.com / Re: How Much Has Your Income Dropped On iStock Since The Peak In 2012? - Poll!« on: June 06, 2016, 23:07 »Now that we have had 93 votes on this poll, we have 20 independents saying their income hasn't gone down at all since 2012 and yet only 3 exclusives who say there income hasn't gone down over the same period of time. Yes, largest group, but similar in size to the number of indies who didn't lose anything. You now have 24 independents saying their income hasn't gone down at all since 2012. Second largest group. Yet only 3 exclusives say that their income hasn't gone down over the same period of time. Those 3 exclusives are one of the smallest groups and is only 10% of the number of indies who haven't lost any income. Simple math. 19

There didn't seem to be an option for that on the poll but i put over 80% drop... Understood and thank you for voting. Since you voted already I don't think you can change your vote, but perhaps the best thing to have done would have been to take your first month's income as an indie (after dropping your crown) and then calculated your percentage of income drop based upon your last month's income total. Just for the record, how much of a percentage drop would that be? 20

With the 2 new voting options I added, perhaps we will get some feedback from people who have seen at least a 10% increase in income since 2012. 21

Great idea. It is a bit late in the game, but I just added the following 2 options anyway: 1 - My income has increased by 10% or more and I am an indepdendent 2 - My income has increased by 10% or more and I am exclusive with iStock Unfortunately I could not put them at the top of the poll where they belong though as there is no option to change the order of things without disrupting the numbers. I added them actually because perhaps there are people who are following this thread and haven't voted yet because they didn't fit into any of the existing categories. So now this gives them a chance to vote too. 22

There's a minimum sales threshold to reach to become exclusive on IS. The people who's income has increased are the ones who had very small portfolios in 2012, in other words much more likely to be independents. Agreed, it doesn't confirm theories as to cause of income drops. But it tells more than that there has been a drop in income. It also shows the following: 1 - Many indies have not seen a loss of income since 2012 versus almost all exclusives who have seen some loss of income. 2 - The majority of people who have had a loss on income have seen a loss of 50% or greater. If you find that to be just a bit of fun, then no problem. But I find that to be useful data that we did not have before. 24

But when I put up this poll I had some theories as to why my own income on iStock has dropped so significantly. Yes, the poll results may be flawed for all the reasons you mentioned, but so far the poll results have matched my theories. Pure coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. 25

The poll results do not show that anyone who voted has had an increase in income. It also doesn't give any indication of the size of their portfolios or that their portfolios have increased in size since 2012 for the people who voted. What data is your conclusions based upon?
