How could they ever pay this back?

maybe "charging" a 200$ refund for each contributor

shameless!

its like they are saying you were lying so we will remove the topic, unbelievable!

iStock loves twisting and hiding the true, there are a few more agencies doing that too...

its not a bad thing they ended it, BigStock is paying us less

I am experimenting. I uploaded my images and will keep them there for a few months.  A week and not a single sale yet with 3k images. Probably end up closing account.

the backup option is quite handy, you never know when your hard drives might fail or need some files and have no access to them at that particular moment

sales are quite low but the submission process is the easiest all around, only GL beats it

they need to make money from somewhere, there aren't buyers so let's play with contributors ridiculous royalties :o

sorry to hear that man

182
so FT subs went up to 20% (actually we don't know what was before right?) if you are opted-out and 25% if opted-in

why would we opt in? for an extra 5% on 10$ plans?

maybe I am missing something

You were all ready and eager to rake her over the coals for a very tough decision she had to make as a business person, a wife, and a mother.  Do not, for a moment, think that she selfishly came to her decision lightly.  We have a daughter in college and need all the extra income we can get right now. 

it's curious that the rest of the world and us microstock contributors here at MSG don't have any personal and financial issues just like you and your wife Lisa have, I understand that our own problems are always bigger than the other but that is unfair and far from accurate most of the times so don't play the victim without knowing other life stories

that said I don't think there is a single person in this forum that haven't been bullied, I have been many times and I have faced it like Lisa should do as well, anyway I don't think that anyone bullied her apart from disagreeing, Lisa is and was always respected in this forum, perhaps more than all

when we make a decision because we truly believe in it then we shouldn't worry with others opinion, it's a public forum and sometimes we don't hear what we wish

What are you earning on DPC?  I would like to hear from a couple higher ranking individuals.  Are you earning 40 cents per download?  I was under the understanding the everyone gets paid a quarter and cannisters don't matter.  Am I wrong?

there is no idea of what "you" are being paid or not, there are no reports (IS does report the sales from TS), I wonder if this doesn't bother the contributors still opted-in

BUT it doesn't matter because they all believe they will get richer, the microstocker thought!

188
my predictions say this year earnings at iStock won't even reach half month at Shutterstock

which means I am not worried at all

189
No logging in on mobile devices? I can only get in on my laptop.

it's fine on iPad

190
take the mouse cursor to the top right where the earnings show up
yes misunderstood!
Not the quanity but who is the followers identity.

that isn't possible, don't think there are any top agencies giving you that type of information and understandable once we would possibly take customers down to our sites

the only agency I know doing that is PicFair but then again you get 100% royalties

if I remember well Panthermedia give you some details too (company name), Mostphotos displays VAT/email as well

What does it mean when someone "collects" something?

from my research it looks like it has search relevancy, would be interesting to hear Stephen regarding this matter

noticed on the left a curated option with 4 pages only as well

have I commented anything about the stock alliance? have I said I am not interested in that?

my question was: why are you still supporting DPC with 75k, nothing else, go read it!

I am definitely not a professional and you are definitely away from being a community support person so don't come here like we own you anything or need your advice

have a wonderful day!

hahaha good one mate, perhaps is the all professional attitude you have most times, anyway I wonder what positive will DPC bring to contributors and stock industry in general ::)

for sure you are seeing stuff we aren't because I am not alone thinking how dreadful DPC looks...

196
Some of them are still there...

oh I see, only saw a few pages...

Lev, I am more surprised to see your 75k files at DPC

why surprised, Luis?

do you know something i don't about DPC?

no, I don't, maybe you can help us there!
