Shapin up ok ...

For a moment I was puzzled by seeing you calling a peacock your daughter.

LOL  Yeah you may have wanted to get me some professional help then.

The point I was trying to make in my earlier post is that I don't understand the business side of this decision. Images produced by "image factories" have very high sales potential....So why would an agency makes uploading inconvenient for their most selling contributors? If you try to improve the quality of your library, there are other ways to do that rather then alienate your top sellers.

I feel like I'm on loop but they are improving their bottom line with this move. Let's say Yuri uploads 1 image that is downloaded 10 times. The last 5 of those were at higher revenue.  Now let's say he instead uploaded 10 similars and each was downloaded once.  They were ALL downloaded at a lower revenue for both him and DT.  If people need 10 images, why not give them 10 higher ranked, better selling images that profit both Yuri (keeping him happy) and DT (good business move)?

I understand the flip side (well he's YURI!  He'll just produce 10 images that sell 10 times instead!) but buyers need a finite amount of images. If they need 10, they need 10 and we can only talk about 10, not 100.  It also alienates other sellers if they upload 10 photos on top of Yuri's business people and 5 minutes later he uploads another 25 on top of them.  It will discourage almost everyone else.  Now, I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing anymore but it's a legit reason for DT to protect some of the smaller sellers.

Ummm.... never mind:) I wasn't talking about myself, I thought that was pretty clear... But, if there is a need to become personal:)...  why do I have to lose my convenience  of being able to click through my stuff at once?

I explained the money of it above - and I have no need for it to be personal.  I thought I was answering your questions.

Why would any agency choose to limit contributions from people who produce high quality highly sellable images?

The way I understand it, say Yuri (sorry Yuri) can produce 100 amazing images a day.  Well DT makes more money on higher level images, so do we.  So they'd rather have the BEST 20 from that day - they get to L2 faster and thus make everyone more money faster.

lol sorry I posted about something I had seen, wanted to give it a try first instead of asking and being all take-take-take.

The real point is whether it's worth your time and energy. Those sites don't really pose a threat to your sales.

I agree - but the more we let people just get away with it because they can, the more they will.  Someone stealing a $0.50 cent candy bar doesn't pose a threat to the bottom line of the gas station either but they want to stop them so it doesn't happen again and again, no?  I was actually hoping to hand it off to someone more bored than I.  I posted and wanted to get back to work but ended up me doing it.

Page not loading. Maybe we got em!

For me as well. Just got 100 images uploaded...hope they get these issues resolved soon and I start seeing some sales. With 100 photos, I would expect to see at least ONE sale.

ROFL!

I think I have 110 PAGES of images - and not one sale in 6 months.
