Pond5 / Re: Hyperstock

We never know how many of our clips were downloaded already.  It makes me angry.  We should sue Pond5 for this.

When I visit the Hyperstock website, it says COMING SOON...I can't search the database or anything?

Pond5 took it down late last night after seeing angry contributors.

Pond5 got caught listing our clips on their unlimited download site yesterday.

Very concerning.

50% max royalty to support artists would be nice to lead the industry and pressure Shutterstock to pay more share.

33
Check yoor preferences there is a checkbox:

"Yes! I would like Pond5 to modify my prices..."

etc etc.

Are you selling them somewhere else at a cheaper price?

I seem to recall something about them having the ability to alter pricing to match similar content on other sites you also sell too.

No, I'm not selling my 4k clips cheaper at anywhere else.  I set my 4k price lower than $179 at Pond5, but they changed the price more than 20% lower without my knowledge.

That box isn't checked, but Pond5 changed price.

Hmm, well I'm out of ideas then. Contact them and see what they say. But that is worrying.

Did you check your portfolio?

Yes, can't see any changes

If you are exclusive, there's no change.  Or if your 4K price is much lower than $179 already, probably no change.

what are they doing?

They are selling your 4k clips more than 20% lower than the price you set.

Wow, that's disgusting!!

RPD: DepositPhotos vs SS

Yearly average:
SS: 0.77cents/download
DP: 0.39cents/download

Port size (31 Dec):
SS: 10,135 images
DP: 6,381 images

Yes, their prices are about half what Shutterstock's price.  I deleted all my photos there.  I control my price.

40
"On Demand" photo prices are $49 for 5 photos at Shutterstock and $49 for 10 photos at Depositphotos.  It's 1/2.

41
They are selling our products too cheap. 

42
If so, how's the earnings?  I see a few people contributing several thousand clips.  I hope they take their clips down from any subscription/membership sites.  It's bad for all of us creators.

43
Congrats for the sale!!

44
They shouldn't be able to change the price we set.  It's as if ebay lowering our "Buy It Now" price at will.  It's ridiculous.

45
They label almost everything "similar content".  They reject their own model release form as "invalid".  what is going on there?

They are stupid AF. 

46
The same thing happened to me to recently.  They are stupid AF.  Sick of them.

Pond5 / Re: What's up with P5
« on: October 05, 2019, 08:15 »
My guess is that they lost a few big clients to other sites.

Pond5 / Re: Any ideas to suggest to them?
« on: October 05, 2019, 08:12 »
4K clips shouldn't cost buyers double that of HD....I would suggest only a 20% premium max.

You can set your 4k, HD, Web price to whatever you want.  It's up to you, not Pond5.  Just go to "Account" and "Preference" and set your percentage.
