Pond5 / Re: Dataset earnings - opt out
« on: April 12, 2024, 07:13 »
I wonder if those data earnins are a once per year earnings or an every month thing?
It seems like once a year. Today I was paid $133. The previous payment for dataset was April 12, 2023. For some reason they chose Cosmonautics Day for these payments.

Happy Cosmonautics Day to everyone!

We thank the United States, which invested more than other countries in the development of Russian cosmonautics by purchasing our rocket engines. This helped us develop and successfully launch yesterday the new heavy launch vehicle Angara-A5.
I vote for the further joint development of space research for the benefit of all humanity!

Pond5 returns to its regular crawl with just one sale under $20 so far this month.
Unfortunately the same...

Is there a chance that NATO will be dissolved by Trump after his election victory?

so only KGB left, to be solved by MAGA :)
But KGB was officially dissolved on 3 December 1991. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB

On the last day of March there are 6 video sales. 5 of them are through Global Market. Pond5 may have expanded its partner network.

I'm seeing my Pond5 sales picking up really well this month. Anyone else having similar results?
Unfortunately, this is not the case for me. Only 5 sales at the moment.
I usually set prices the same as blvdone.

10
And which one are these?
First of all, there is an outflow of buyers from sites with high prices. For example, from Pond5.

11

I did inverse image search on some of the thumbnails of stolen clips and found those clips probably were downloaded from Envato Elements' unlimited download.
This is one more argument not to upload content to sites with unlimited downloads.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Open AI Sora text to video
« on: February 16, 2024, 04:40 »
Another AI revolution. This time in a video.
Photographers and videographers will be forced into an area where you are filming something specific, a specific location or persons, and not an abstract palm tree and sea. The niche remains, but is narrowing. The main remaining niche is editorial photo and video.

General - Stock Video / Re: Freepik Wants My Videos For A Price

What are your thoughts?

This is the best way to stop your files from being sold on other sites.

I think regular uploads are more beneficial. But, of course, not just one image, but at least 5-10 per day.
In this case, the images are smeared throughout the Adobe portfolio and there is a greater chance of some images getting into the best match.
This is especially true for uploading series of similar images.

It would be nice to have an option for contributors to allow/prohibit the sale of 4K by subscription. Or pay for 4K by subscription at double price.

Il-76 aircraft crashes in Russia's Belgorod Oblast: Ukrainian Armed Forces confirm operation.

There were also 63 Russian terrorists on the plane.
On board were 65 captive soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as three accompanying persons and six crew members.
They were transported for exchange.
The exchange of captive between Russia and Ukraine could take place according to the formula 192 to 192. Another Il-76 plane with 80 Ukrainian captive turned back over the Belgorod region after the first plane crash.  :'(
The Ukrainian leadership was well aware of the impending exchange and was informed of how the prisoners would be delivered. But the IL-76 plane was shot down by three missiles, either with anti-aircraft missile systems or Patriot, or with German-made IRIS.

my best travel photo (a famous landmark in a large touristy city) sold 3605 times on Shutterstock. That photo alone totally paid for the whole trip :)
The same. On many of my trips, one successful photo or video financially pays for the entire trip.
Unfortunately, now sales are not as good as before and such cases are becoming rare.
Now a flood of AI images has poured into photo stocks. Therefore, it is not abstract landscapes are in great demand, but specific locations with good descriptions and keywords.

Our friend has in no way distanced himself from the war.
Instead, he posts here as if all is well with the world.
He posts Christmas greetings from a quiet Russian village
Since when do you consider wishing Happy New Year abnormal? Are you out of your mind? Do you want me to publicly criticize the government of my country here? My attitude towards the government will be reflected on the ballot for the presidential election in 2 months, but not here. You won't be able to provoke me into this. You know what happens in the modern democratic World when you criticize government of the country in which you live. The death of Gonzalo Lira Lpez is another example of this.
I truly wish everyone that all military conflicts on Earth will end this year. But, unfortunately, the increase in the number of hot spots on the planet foreshadows the worst. When there is no way to influence the events taking place in the World, focus on loving and caring for your loved ones and the World will become a little better.
I'll stop writing on this topic for a while. And please stop discussing what I should and shouldnt. Talk about your personal real actions leading to peace.

Leave your delusional accusatory fantasies about me. You won't be able to provoke me.
 And everyone can see who the real nazzi is on this forum.
Happy Old New Year everyone!

If you are trying to say that
You have a rich imagination. What else will you come up with and attribute to me?

landscape photography contributors, how are you doing on microstock sites?
Landscape photography, in my opinion, does not sell very well. But I love traveling and taking photographs because I enjoy it. However, the cost of each trip pays off over time, but the bulk of my income comes from studio photography.
And listen carefully to Roscoe's advice - it is very valuable.

This comment can hardly be surpassed in cynicism!

Are you talking about the article I linked to?
Or about the cynicism of those Ukrainians who have plenty of money, but do not help their homeland, and prefer to hide from mobilization in other countries and show off their pseudo-patriotism on forums?

Europeans, start preparing parking spaces for Russian tanks!
And give more parking spaces for the luxury cars of poor Ukrainian refugees!

Why does TSIPsO agent constantly talk about the KGB? Are his instructions that ancient? The KGB was officially dissolved on December 3, 1991.

Stepan Bandera.
All Russians, at the mention of just his name, are filled with fear and horror.  ;D 8) ;D 8)
All normal people are filled with disgust at the mention of this nazzi maniac and sadist.

"At least 300 thousand people fell victim to Banderite terror in the 1940s. In 1943 alone, the UPA massacred 80,000 Poles and members of Ukrainian-Polish families during the so-called Volyn [Wołyń] Massacre. Banderites carried out ethnic cleansing killing mostly defenseless civiliansboth Poles and Ukrainians who refused to support Banderas OUN."
