Because they perform better than others, we need to turn a blind eye? Questioning Shutterstock is not allowed because they do well?

Yes they do well, but with an ever increasing cost for production because of their demand of a certain level of quality, it would be only fair to compensate for that increased cost. Days of selling snaps from dusty HDs are long gone, the demand for quality has risen. A demand raised by the agency.

They used to sell this for 20 cent



Now they sell this for 25 cent




Ron, in case I didn't say before, it's real nice to have you back on msg.  Great post.





...same here - I m glad ron is back ....

 on SS I got approximately  10%  less because of 30% us tax sales - IS is more popular in us - so it could be much more...?!

art  -  in all areas: movies, music,  novels, poetry, photography... etc. - is at very low level - in recent decades... nothing new...

because they made an industry on it and rejected anything truely artistic.

true art is not even produced any more in many cases, music for instance, as there's not enough critical mass of potential buyers or consumers or monetization ways to justify the production costs.

who's going to invest 5-10 yrs of his life to master a skill that can NOT be monetized in any way ?

yes -of course - art is a mirror of society, if this today could be called  a society at all - no moral (aesthetics) - just greedy run for MORE MORE MORE money - but something will change sooner or later - this is unsustainable - so much people become very very poor and very few get richer and richer - it can t last forever

Payoneer / Re: Payoneer now available as payout option on Pond5
« on: December 01, 2014, 02:32 »
@pkphotos: You should certainly choose the payment option that's best and most comfortable for you.

There are many advantages to Payoneer, and if you'd like to discuss some of them feel free to send me a PM. Our new Withdraw to Bank option, for example, is a great way to withdraw your earnings and is localized in over 70 countries. We also provide very competitive exchange rates which in most countries are lower than alternative options (which means more profits for you).

Is this "Our new Withdraw to Bank option" available in all Payoneer credit cards or just some - ordered from some sites like airbnb for example?

if I understand well it is an option to sand money direct to my bank account ...?

I have more sales at FT after DPC - and I m opt out , of course  ...

Never did it so far because I felt to "farang" after some time.

nowhere in Asia they will welcome you with open arms but in some countries it gets a lot better !
that's a matter of personal taste and you should first take a look first hand and see what you like, for instance i see koreans and americans in particular enjoying the Philippines while everybody else think the place is a dump.

Hobostocker,are you an american or a european ?

... west european _- I think...??

@Deyan Georgiev
If you do not have more subscription sales, why are you on DPC then?

You are willing to risk to jeopardize your earning elsewhere when you don't see increase of subscription sales in Fotolia.
For what? the tiny 5% difference? And yes, that was actually offered too because of the protest.

I am not reproaching anyone here, it just make no sense in my mind...

Oh and about the 75 % that are still on DPC, well, the majority doesn't actually have a clue about it. Fotolia never informed anyone that they were taking all the images and putting them automatically on other site, with different selling prices/packs.

yes - why then to be at dpc - and money is not everything - there is a little thing called moral

on Michael's site there is one interesting post by Tudor, he says about stocksy
 : "...all images look like they are made by the same photographer, same style no variety,..." I have a same feeling
