its confirmed, levels reset every year, 1 hour ago, Kate Shutterstock said:
That's correct. Our new compensation model is designed to reward content creators for producing quality work that is fresh, relevant and in demand by our customers. By resetting the royalty levels each year, we aim to provide an avenue for contributors to be fairly rewarded for content that is performing well at the current time.
The adjustments are being made to align with changes we have been seeing in the global market for creative content. They also help to create fair opportunities for all our contributors, and reward performance with greater earnings potential.

This is horrible news! To go from earning .38 cents to .15 cents every January will really affect my earnings.
where did you get 15 cent from?

Guys I did some math and maybe it's not worth to panic so much. The % actually seems to increase I think and give some motivation for higher contribution.
The maximum % Shutterstock was paying before, was 30%. So now I can see (I am a level 4-5 for most time of the year) that my % will be 30% by February (same as before) and 35% from May or June. But as I was protected before with a minimum 0.38c per download, now it depends on the type of client that buys my image.
But let's calculate how much the client will pay:
If it's a customer of 750/month annual billed upfront the price is ($0.22/image) - 35% of that is 0,07cents
If it's a customer of 10/month no contract, billed monthly the price is ($4.9/image) - 35% of that is 1,71cents
I think I could accept to prefer it like this. Most customers are small producers / blog writers that sometimes need only just a few images. How many customers actually would actually go for the highest tiers?
The reset is only for 100dls. My 400-500 dls per month send me very fast to level 4 and 30%. They are basically looking to kill the income of inactive contributors that are in decline but highest tier, while the clients may pay as low as $0.22/image.
If I was them, I would do the same. Do we really need to complain about it if we are active contributors?
why punish inactive contributors? the images will remain available for download, so no one is gaining by hurting inactive contributors. and they already have a gazillion images, of which 50% is utter garbish or duplicate. this new earnings structure will not fix any of that

Well, I can't make any sense of this. Will everyone zero at the beginning of each year (start on 15% and have to rise up the ranks fresh)? that seems insane.
If not, why is my level on the email tied to my downloads so far since January, and not based on my total for last year, which would place me well into the next tier.
"All contributors reset to level 1 for both images and videos every year on January 1st."
As a quota for the next year, not for the current, at least that's how I understand it. That mail is really lacking...
so you get paid the level of the previous year performance, not start from level 1? if thats the case its not too bad. they do need to CLARIFY that ASAP then before someone burns down their office
Don't hope for that, it's clearly stated in the email:
All contributors reset to level 1 for both images and videos every year on January 1st.
maybe a counter reset, but not an earnings level reset? if you start the year at 15%, bwhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, what a bunch of fucktards

I can't believe that video download numbers for each level is the same as images. what? Video contributors are going to have the roughest end of this shite system.

This is so crazy, now I can't tell you the future but as of now you stand a better chance of dying of heart disease, car accident, weather related injuries, cancer and the list goes on. This is still a very minor virus at this point, you still have more to fear from the flu!!
minor virus?
7% mortality...is minor? good luck
What's your source for that figure?
"What is the mortality rate of the new coronavirus?
It is probably about or a bit less than 1%. Much higher figures have been flying about, but the chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, is one of those who believes it will prove to be 1% or lower. The World Health Organizations director general, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, talked of 3.4%, but his figure was calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of officially confirmed cases. We know there are many more mild cases that do not get to hospital and are not being counted, which would bring the mortality rate significantly down.
Deaths are highest in the elderly, with very low rates among younger people, although medical staff who treat patients and get exposed to a lot of virus are thought to be more at risk. But even among the over-80s, 90% will recover."

I have the Samsung Note 10+, which has just as good of a camera as the iPhone 11 Pro Max interesting, i have one too, but there are 1000s of complaints about the S10+ camera, there are several issues with it. night shots are horrendous, seriously, its not even funny, its an overprocessed noise fest hdr never turns off, even if you disable it, so most images have low contrast and look shiiiiiiiit, only if hdr is not triggered the images in daylight are fine, i have several submitted and accepted the selfie camera applies a beauty filter which makes me look like a plastic doll for a flag ship phone costing around 900 dollar, its a horrendously shiiiiiit camera. and samsung refuses to fix any of this, which pisses off many users just had to get that off my chest, rant off

Oh bummer, he left.
Red flags because you defend a forum bully and liar when we try to tell the truth to warn others. Why don't you take your own advices and ignore us?
you are dealing with the 3 biggest ignorant f*cks on this site, cathy, laurin and lagereek, the 3 amigos. better log off and continue the conversation elsewhere

I wrote a OptED piece 14 Years ago that "Sooner Or later we will be getting 5 Or 10 Cents a DL."
are you seriously claiming to have predicted this decline by saying sooner or later the price will drop?? applause!

i left istock a while back too, it was right in the middle of one of their accounting errors, a lot of copntributors had extra cash in their accounts. as it turns out this was also an accounting error and they istock were going to correct the error and lots of accounts were put in red. i also had like $100 extra in my account, but i closed my account and requested pay out. i got the money and my accont was closed. they never recouped their money from me, i must have been in a rare category to be able to take money from istock instead of the other way around lol,
