The way stock is being devalued and oversaturated is enough to make you crazy.

52
Well if you all want to continue being deluded into thinking SS are not controlling our visibility, you carry on burying your heads in the sand. I know what I know by patterns and others do too.

53
Absolutely controlled beyond a shadow of a doubt. I can predict the paltry amount I will get most days.

I can predict that the level of interest from buyers for what you have, is about the same day to day. That's not controlled it's just how many people are interested in what you sell. Same as how many tacos a stand sells every day, in the same place. Some days are less, some more, and some have a big swing up or down, but what you call controlled income is nothing more then average and predictable sales. Do you know when your next big sale will come or your next terrible bad day? No, but you know what your average day is, that's the average not controlled. You are trying to say that average anything is some how manipulated or controlled when by math it's just normal and average. The day of the big sale is the unusual just like the day when sales are extra low. Normal is average is what you want to say is some how controlled, when that's perfect normal. Nothing unusual about average or normal, but you see something wrong and want a claim for why something is predictable?

Do you work for ss ?

No, its Absolutley dead. No increase. Just manipulated sales on some kind of wheel of miss fortune but the stops are getting less and less.

This is clearly turning into the boasting thread.

Dreamstime.com / Anyone sell audio on DT ?
« on: June 01, 2018, 05:25 »
I uploaded a handful of sounds some time ago but surprisingly I have had a few sales with just those files. Does anyone else submit audio as well as images to DT with similar success ?

Dead!

Yep, stone dead and many more are saying the same thing. Absolutely diabolical ss has become after REGULAR sales.

Never mind the stats, lets see your portfolio.

Its funny that seasoned pros like Laurin have experienced decline for some time. Ss is in decline FACT. I have an image in a specific genre that comes out first image on the first page if I thpe the basic keywords but it has declined in sales.

More threads on ss about drop in buyers, algorithm changes affecting sales etc. Surley all these people, including excellent photograhers cant be wrong ?

And can we see a link to your portfolio ?

And, I have to say, looking at the appalling quality of SOME of the new stuff being accepted I'd be pretty amazed if it DID sell.

It's easier to blame someone than to accept that your work is not up to par commercially.

Earlier you said quality isn't important but keywording is. I would be interested to see your work if you provide a link ?

Also, why so many other people suddenly experiencing an unusaly sudden drop in sales ? This thread for instance ? Again, this is abnormal and beyond our control.

Nope because I earned a lot of sales in March. I will leave you to wallow in your smugness.

No because it's impossible. How do you know you are not just lucky with your exposure ? Like I said, once all the keywords are there it's pretty much covered. I have no problem finding my work on all sites.

Surely you have nothing to worry about the competition if you are confident in your work ? Simply bragging about it and pulling up the ladder isn't helpful to fellow members here. :-\

I can't possible find out all that criteria by searching every single file. If you did this with relative ease why not share the results and save us all the time ?

Only they don't... I have clips in roughly the same (page 1-2) positions for common search terms that have stayed like that for years. If they get sales, they stay.

Well, now you know what can be done at least. Best of luck!

That list you made is impossible to cover. I think this is a wind up or you have a lot of time on your hands.

They change the algorithms every 5 mins anyway so that would be time wasted.
