Watch your videos on SS. SS has completely changed the sorting of videos by popularity (top). Now in the top one nonsense.

The free section of midjourney does not include commercial use.  The paid version does.
And how much do you have to pay for the paid version?

I think its easier, faster and cheaper for a buyer to buy everything he needs on the stock than to pay and then edit it all. But for stockers, this tool can be very useful in order to sell it later.

Well one thing is for sure. The Western governments said they were not at war with Russia and they had no boots on the ground. Another lie by our statesmen and NATO so it seemed this week.
Although it's quite silly to say you are not at war with a country when you are sending tons of weapons to their enemy. But anyway, the point is that we are being lied to once again by our leaders. You can be fine with it, I am getting sick of all involved parties here actually. The only sensible word I heard this week was from Brazil stating that the US should not promote the war so much.
By the way all this war mongering is leading each week into a more split world. BRICS is getting closer together and China is even thinking of trading in the dollar for it's own currency for international trade. That would seriously give a blow to the US dollar and economy.
1. A year ago, Russia put forward an ultimatum to NATO, and demanded that NATO get out on the border of the 40s of the last century. In fact, this is already a declaration of war on NATO and all of Eastern Europe.
2. There are no NATO soldiers in Ukraine who take part in the hostilities. There is only a foreign legion, but it only has volunteers from around the world.
3. Brazil supports Russia, as does China.
4. China is not able to replace the dollar, but the US is able to kill the Chinese economy. And the sooner the United States does this, the sooner there will be world peace.
5. If Russia occupies all of Ukraine, the war will spread to the NATO countries, and the captured Ukrainians will be driven ahead of the Russian troops. These are millions of people. If NATO uses nuclear weapons, it will kill the environment in many European countries. Therefore, the sooner NATO troops enter into hostilities with Russia, and the sooner the Russian fascists are expelled from Ukraine, the sooner peace will come to Europe.
6. NATO troops may not engage in hostilities if they are so afraid of it, especially after an ultimatum addressed to them. But NATO must provide good aircraft, long-range missiles, a lot of shells, artillery and tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Perhaps the Armed Forces of Ukraine will then cope with Russia without NATO.
Ukraine will also need tactical nuclear weapons.

Interesting that P5 says every three months. Doesn't help me, but still interesting.
The same as the SS undertook to pay every 6 months. I asked Pond how often I would receive payments for artificial intelligence, I was told that every 3 months. But if they have already raked everything out, then I probably wont.

Sure, Russia will or can occupy united Europe. Get real.
1. As long as the United States has bases and keeps troops in the EU, Russia cannot and will not be able to do anything.
2. All those photos are about nothing, this is not politics, these are some kind of single photos.

You started twisting the facts. Non-ratification of the court does not mean that the country has committed crimes. There are reasonable explanations for everything, and at one time I read them.
At the expense of destroyed hospitals, killed people, torture, you have no evidence, all this is 90-99 percent propaganda.
Recently, you used Russian propaganda here, wrote that the APU was shooting at the homes of civilians, but this is a lie that the Russians threw in. The Russians themselves kill people, and then immediately blame the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, stop writing in this topic, there is 0 trust in your texts.

LOL  ;D

The only one twisting the facts are you with denying the facts and spreading your little propaganda with closing eyes in fron of your war crimes and pointing fingers only at others while you are basically the same. 

Once again, Russia is a country spreading terror in their path of word dominance and so is US and they should both be put on ignore by the rest of the world until they change their aggressive policies and accept the authority of international courts like the rest of democratic world.   

Sure, you are probably the on who is gonna decide who writes what and what the truth is.   ;)
What country are you a citizen of? Such thoughts about the United States will lead to the fact that Russia will occupy the whole of Europe, and the United States will not be able to help, because. they were kicked out of Europe by people like you. And China is taking over the rest of the world. If you want to live under Russian or Chinese occupation, my advice to you is: suitcase - railway station - Russia (China).
And give proof to any of your accusations against the United States.

We can discuss numbers and studies, and I'm anything but an authority on the matter, but the bigger picture is what it is I'm afraid. Burning fossils, and certainly coal, has a devastating impact on all of us. And this is exactly what Germany keeps on doing, at a very large scale, and they will continue for another decade if I'm not mistaken?

The concerns regarding nuclear energy are 100% justified, but the way I look at now it is that bringing down our global carbon emissions became such a priority nowadays that not considering nuclear power as a necessary evil option to do so would be a mistake. In the end, we will need that solution for nuclear waste anyhow, and I know that sounds like a weak excuse (we don't need to put more crap in a shithole knowing we will have to clean it up someday) but the alternative is keep on burning coal and natural gas. Resources that already have a devastating impact, and are putting an end to the world as we know it.
+100
I have suspicions that Germany is pursuing a pro-Russian policy for the future. Instead of building more and more environmentally friendly nuclear power plants, Germany is eliminating them completely and burning more and more coal and gas. Merkel left reliable offspring?

What a lie, what a delusion. You are trying to attribute the guilt of the fascists and terrorism to democratic countries. And in this way you are trying to divert people's attention from the crimes of the Russians. You act according to the manuals of the KGB. Like, yes, we are bad, but everyone around is also bad and there is no justice anywhere.
The US and EU countries do not engage in genocide and murder. The US Army, if it fights, then only with the enemy army, while observing all the Geneva Conventions. The same Saddam Hussein was a tyrant.
 

LOL, US is doing anything to avoid international democracy and let the international courts decide who was involved in genocide and who was not.

On 17 July 1998, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was adopted by a vote of 120 to seven, with 21 countries abstaining. The seven countries that voted against the treaty were China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, the U.S., and Yemen;)

BTW...

387,072 civilians have died violent deaths as a direct result of the U.S. post-9/11 wars.

One example of respecting the Geneva Conventions,  On 3 October 2015, US airstrikes destroyed  hospital in operated solely by Doctors Without Borders, Kunduz killing 42 people.

Should I start posting leaked Abu Ghraib torturing photos so you can explain me how those relate to Geneva Conventions ?

To answer another question that came up. SS said they will be paying every 6 months.
Yes, that's right, it's still early for SS. Unlike Pond5, I also have a lot of photos on SS.
I asked pond5 how often, they said once every 3 months. So I got money for Pond5 in April.

Rare earths, for example, are hardly available in Europe.
Ukraine has significant reserves of non-ferrous and rare earth metals, including unique deposits of beryllium, zirconium, tantalum, as well as a complex of phosphorus rare earth and rare metal ores, reports MiningWorld. The confirmed reserves of lithium in Ukraine are the largest in Europe. The country also has a real opportunity to enter the world market with pure and ultra-pure metals such as gallium, indium, thallium, lead and tin Ukraine needs to use its mineral resources to prosper. This requires new technologies and large investments.

Today, the last 3 nuclear power plants in Germany were shut down.
If Germany knows that there will be hostilities in the EU, then of course it is better not to have a nuclear power plant on its territory at all.
No matter how it all ends with the fact that Germany will again begin to buy energy from Russia.

By the way, the Russian economy is growing - despite the EU sanctions. Coal exports to India have quadrupled. Oil exports to China, India and Turkey have increased very strongly. Furthermore, Turkey is planning a large transhipment point for Russian gas.

I believe that the sales markets China and India are many times more attractive for Russia than Germany (or the EU). Perhaps this is also the reason why there is no criticism of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from China and India.

Not certainly in that way. The sanctions have driven Russian energy prices below market levels. China and India at very low prices buy anything from Russia. And the sanctions also apply to logistics. Now the Russian economy is in decline, if you do not read the Russian "press" of course.
But I agree that there are few sanctions against Russia, even at low prices, but no one should buy anything from Russia.
Sanctions against Rosatom are also needed, which do not exist. Otherwise, the world, like 100 years ago, by its actions creates a new Nazi state, which will then begin to kill everyone. I do not accept the policy of double standards.

Are you one of the people who disables their portfolio then enables it again, then disables it and waits a month and enables again? SSTK may have licensed the data during the time when you had disabled your port?
No, I never turn anything off, I always have everything on. I always need extra money.

Shutterstock, as I understand it, was going to pay once every six months. Will pond5 pay every month?

Shutterstock:
"How will I get paid?
Earnings from datasets and downloads of AI-generated content produced with integrated technology on our platform are pooled in a collective fund and will be distributed every 6 months. If you have generated earnings from the fund, you will see those posted in your Earnings Summary, in the "Contributor Fund" column. Payouts will happen every 6 months and will include both earnings from data deals as well as royalties from AI-generated content created with the tool on our platform."

I have all inclusive. But Shutterstock doesn't pay me anything for this. Why? Pond5 pays, but Shutterstock doesn't.
