Newbie Discussion / Re: Offset vs Stocksy

No reason you can't be in both. You can put different photos in each one. Neither agency will accept all your images, and one might accept images that the other won't accept.

I care exactly because I am a member

Prove it.

Lol, you are joke. :) What am I supposed to do, copy paste from their forums? I can do that for you, but I just didn't want to intrude on ppls stocky insider stuff.

Okay, since you're content hiding behind the comfort of anonymity, let's pretend you are a Stocksy member.  That would mean you're also a part owner of the company.  Since you're such a big fan of the co-op business model, what have you done to contribute?  Have you proposed any resolutions?  Voted at the meetings?  Participated in any forum discussions?  Responded to any requests for community input?  Contacted HQ with ideas?  Have you done anything at all besides bash the company any chance you get?

I did vote previously. But when one of their meetings ended, they wrote on the site that they wouldn't post a transcript, like they promised, (because it would be long and boring or some similar excuse), but instead we get  a "kick-ass" summary. Woo-hoo. Also a few times I got the rejection for some shots that tehy 'don't want peopole juts posing by themselves without context, because that's contrived and too ordinary-stock-like'. Than I visited stocksy front page and the curated collection there was loaded with shots of peple  posing alone, pretty forced (vsisbly amateur models). After reading, seeing all of that I decided to stay away from the whole thing beyond uploading and the most necessary communication with the so called "curators" :)

...and before you start whining again: I have good acceptance % there. I looked around and it was very clear that most ppl get a lot less shots from their series accepted then me - but sorry, other people's gullibility won't change my opinion.

Interesting. So, you have never voiced out your dissatisfaction there, never participate in the forum except lurking and come whining here.

You might want to read my post again (or just read it). I don't start conversing with ppl who talk like that. If I want to hear more "kick ass" deals, I'll watch TV shop or ads for payday lenders.

So you have a relatively good acceptance rate (not sure how you can figure that out based on other people's portfolios), but you say you aren't doing well there financially. What keeps you uploading to Stocksy? Why not put them somewhere else where your experience shows they would do better?

Stocksy is a big failure on many levels, and now it seems they are getting desperate for sales. 90% of the the failure is the curation, it is done by 12 year old hispterfan teengirls recruited from random instagram accounts. They are extremely good at picking out the useless, chaotic stuff - to be "so different"... I guess. Just look at the opening page, it has become an ugly mess.

You bash Stocksy every chance you get.  Why do you care so much?  Why don't you just ignore them?

After I'v been on istock for a few months, I bashed Istock too, warning ppl that it's gonna be a trap and huge disappointment, although sales there were ok back than. I saw the clusterf*** coming when I got a dose of their attitude towards contribs from the way they communicated inside (lobo & co) Ppl said similar things like you, that I'm just jealous, and why do I bother, to hell with naysayers they gonna just hoo-ray and upload. Look what's up with that now.

I didn't say anything about you being jealous. I asked why you care so much about Stocksy. I don't believe you are a Stocksy member. You claim to have inside info but your facts are all wrong. I just don't believe you.

I care exactly because I am a member, and it has been a huge disappointment & getting worse. The biggest waste of time for little return in stock yet. Especially sad, because I still think the co-op model is great. A great business model totally wasted by childish mismanagement of their virtual assets.

This seems like sour grapes. Stocksy is reporting good earnings. Many Stocksy members seem very content with their earnings. Your particular portfolio isn't doing well there, so you bash the whole place.
