Adobe Stock / Re: Account blocked - another story« on: September 22, 2023, 16:10 »So the email restates the general prohibition, but does not specify which of your images violates this rule? Amazing. I've experienced EXACTLY the same sequence of events. On my second email marked "Urgent" I've got exactly the same response, signed by Diego Gomez. That was the only piece of communication I got throughout the whole time my account was blocked. The account was unblocked three weeks later without any "further notice". I am still waiting for the explanation... 4

I don't see any noticeable increase in downloads since April. Perhaps it was because of summer season. Then my port was blocked for three weeks and all sales tumbled hard.

Adobe Stock / Re: Account blocked - I need help please« on: September 15, 2023, 13:10 »Thank you Michael!My account has been back online for about 2 weeks now and is now at about 45%-50% of the level before the 8-day block - at the current "recovery speed" I would say it could take another 2-3 months to reach the level of say the 2 months before the block, if this very slow increase continues. Thank you for the update. So far I am seeing a number of downloads a day that I normally had on a weekend day before the block Have a great getaway! 6
Adobe Stock / Re: Account blocked - I need help please« on: September 14, 2023, 07:31 »3 week block could be several thousand dollars. But in any case it is nearly one month income missing. That would certainly ease the process if Adobe implemented your suggestions, let alone show a bit of mutual respect and appreciation. Until then, unfortunately, the way it is handled gives us a reality check that artists are really dime a dozen for a big agency. After all, why would they still need us if they have Firefly out to do most of our work? 7

I have an update - my account was unblocked yesterday, which is great, of course.
Unfortunately I got no letter of any kind notifying about it and, most importantly, providing the actual reasons behind the 3-week block, besides one generic response about it being related to AI copyright infringement. I can't seem to find if any images were deleted from the portfolio. 10
Adobe Stock / Re: review times??« on: September 08, 2023, 03:40 »
Seems like the relative ease of creating AI images led to a huge amounts of such content fooding Adobe reviewers. The easy fix could be in setting a limit on the number of AI images one can submit in a week. It should balance the review capacity and promote submitting only the best generations at the same time.

Adobe Stock / Re: Account blocked - I need help please« on: September 07, 2023, 01:13 »Just to keep you all up to date: Ouch! If your images are punished in search and not presented to the customers somewhere in the first pages, it is not much different from banning the entire portfolio. I really hope that it's not the case and the situation will change to the better. As my portfolio remains blocked for two weeks now, your case gives me hope and chills at the same time I would also like to thank you for being so open, speaking out and sharing the important nuances your case, so we have a way to timely learn about the issues and be updated on what to expect. This is the level of communication we would love to see from Adobe. 12

I found myself in the same boat. Have been a Fololia/Adobe contributor for 16 years. I had a few AI images accepted, but my portfolio consists mostly of "handmade" photos and videos. Thursday my port was blocked. It's frustrating that there was no warning, no communication, no reply for three days.

Thank you so much for the information!
Do those principles apply equally to any type of content (e.g. images and videos)? 14
General Stock Discussion / Re: Pond5 pricing« on: April 30, 2017, 01:27 »
I price at 250/85 usually.

I was honestly puzzled and disappointed to read that email. It lacks to provide any points on why we should consider this offer.

Many events accept press to get free publicity in media. You just have to apply as a press to get the badge. It will allow you a free access and the right to license what you have shot there.

Better, but it's time consuming to calculate by how much

Don't blame the market. Make great clips and sales will come.

Pond5 / Re: Is setting 80$ for a 4k video is too high?« on: April 16, 2016, 02:44 »
I usually set it to 250/85 (4K/HD). Buyers don't seem to mind that.

Review times suck and I started getting a few rejections here and there, but can't complain about sales.

Same here. I guess their search could be favoring new authors, or new clips. Who knows.

It's just a wrong agency for selling images. Great for videos though.

I remember Thilo Semmelbauer was selling SSTK on regular basis while he was President and COO.
http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1290183.htm Seems like he didn't care much about company's future. And then he left right before the stock fell. 25

And the CEO is Jon, right? How come he was a great leader before, but not now?
