As instigaters behind the civil disobedience in the streets, Burn, Loot and Murder BLM leaders should be charged as accessories to every crime their group commits. I fear you may be suffering from a paranoid mental illness. Please, please, seek help before your delusions get worst. Hope you get well soon. 78

Ive never understood the attraction of creating the Getty custom content unless its someone, somewhere or something youve got immediately to hand.
The return just doesnt justify the effort. 80

I declare whatever appears in my bank account as UKs. If you're paying taxes on imaginary amounts of money you never get then you're doing it wrong.
I am a sole trader though, so that might make a difference if you're operating through a ltd company structure. Your way sounds way too complicated to me. My accountants have talked to HMRC over the years to ensure I'm doing it correctly and to get me out from being VAT registered. 81

General Stock Discussion / Re: This boat is sinking. So why aren't we jumping?« on: May 12, 2020, 10:06 »So if people are looking to make money off their photography with ordinary everyday photos on MS, they're in for it. They're going to have to supply images that make the pages of the National Geographic and even then, they would probably not get a sale. Ironically, the cover image for National Geographic in July is one of mine bought through Getty or iStock (don't know which). Check it out next month! 86

April month views are higher than any previous months, but the total money earned is lesser. Now, there are lesser number of advertisers than the past on these platforms where the produced content is consumed. I can't believe you didn't see this coming. 87

iStockPhoto.com / Re: May's numbers are out.« on: June 20, 2019, 03:30 »
Realistically it is no longer financially sensible to create content as an Exclusive because of the majority of tiny value sales.
The bitter truth is this is not a viable business and anyone who invests to create content solely for this agency is subsidising the owners and buyers. The only photographers for whom it will be worthwhile uploading will be those who create content incidentally. The cynical moving of the royalty targets will quite quickly make the higher levels that many people have been receiving for years unattainable. I'm assuming that the business doesn't really want many Exclusive artists, just a few to use as a marketing tool. It's like being a lobster in a pan of slowly warming water. 97

I've yet to find one. I'm always trying to find a home for macro RM images but no-one's interested. Their general uselessness and unfriendliness to new photographers is why micro took over in the first place.

If you have a correctly filled in MR then just resubmit.
