Finally! Way to go! Yeah!!!!
They are suggesting to shot on iphone instead of dslr's and mirrorless.
Funny thing sh#ty iphone is way tooo luxury for contributors with such earnings.

freepik is temporary success, for sure.
They are just biting the hand that feeds them.

Plain photos are already pretty dead genre, even superb ones.
Such sites as freepik just accelerate royalties degradation.

That's just madness
I suspect that they will lower royalties in a while. Almost sure.

If you close your account, they can sell your photos, the photos will remain in this agency for one year... for a year without pay you any download!
Sounds like vomit rules.

I was a premium uploader on freepik. There is currently a 7-8 cent commission to sell a picture. It is not worth it. When I started there the commission was 13 cents. Its getting worse year after year, our work is worth more than that. 
Looking at pool results, somebody like them!

108% Agreed.

My opinion: people should stop uploading there before it's too late.

Last week, we emailed you about upcoming changes to the way customers can license your work.
To simplify options for our Shutterstock Premier customers, and to expand the visibility of your work, Shutterstock will be removing the Enhanced License and Sensitive Use opt-out component tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3, 2020.
No action is required on your part. Starting tomorrow, your content will be licensable by all Shutterstock customers, including those who need Enhanced License usage and who intend to use your content in specific sensitive contexts. Your earnings potential from these premium license types is generally greater than from our Standard Licenses.
Enhanced Licenses allow customers to use your content in high-profile projects, such as film and television, incorporation into merchandise for sale, wall art for commercial spaces, and print runs over 500,000.
The concept of Sensitive Use only applies to content featuring models. Customers will be able to use your model-released content for certain potentially sensitive purposes, specifically limited to: promotion of tobacco products, implying mental or physical impairment, or use in political contexts.
Customers are never permitted to use your content in a way that is defamatory, deceptive, pornographic, libelous, obscene, or illegal.
Again, no action is required from you, but if you wish to make specific content on your portfolio unavailable for download, you can delete individual images by using your Catalog Manager.
For more information on how customers can use your work, check out the Shutterstock License Agreement.

As for me, i've mastered my editing & uploading process, so i don't need such services anymore.
Scripts, and xpiks do the job pretty fast. Simple as that.
And it is not a big deal if you uploading to 3-4 stocks. Ss, as, is and super secret one:)

I have two Canon 5D4's. I fell and can't lift them so I didn't shoot in over a year. I just bought the Iphone 11pro and this phone camera blows the Canon away! Everything I am shooting is getting accepted. The color right out of the phone for stock is fantastic. It even shoots in the dark without noise!
Stop throwing misleads. It looks miserable. It's just overpriced phone with lots of uneeded tech for true photographer. I even bet that iphone11 can't beat Nokia 808 from 2012 in terms of provided resolution. It is not a surprise, because of pathetic 1/2.55" sized sensor. ps. Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Note 10 are more intersting stuff though.

Maybe it is not so bad in terms of dynamic range. But in terms of pure resolution it is cr#p.
1/2.55 size explains all. Nokia 808 with its 1/1.2 still on the top.
The thing is that the sensor in Nokia 808 is horrible, especially in DR. BTW, some smartphones today gave a big 1/1.33 sensors (the new Samsung 108MPx sensor). I would say that todays smartphone far exceeds Nokia in noise, resolution, DR and delth of field as well (it was F2.4 only).
DR is yes, pretty bad (no one cancel braketing), but i was speaking about resolution. Huawei P30 Pro is worser about 10%. Looking forward regarding Huawei Mate 30 Pro 1/1.5 and Xiaomi with 1/1.33 sensors. But iphone in terms of resolution is a complete joke.

Well something is definitely different. I've been uploading photos and already had sales from those batches in all agencies, including the lowest earners, but nothing on SS.
That is a first in 14 years of stock for me.
It looks like "somebody" accept all and new files instantly drowning in newly uploaded ones.
142
« on: November 13, 2019, 13:42 »
Uploaded almost 1500 pictures during last two weeks. One picture was sold:)
New stuff not selling at all. Only old ones. It looks like smth is broken and we are drowning in similars.

I have always felt that I may as well stay with low earners just because my images are already on their sites but yesterday gave up on Canstock. They got tired of inspecting photos after ten or eleven years so started rejecting every photo I uploaded. Very frustrating and at the low sales rate I wont last long enough to receive a payout so I let them keep my 27 dollars.
I left them leaving my 10$. For me almost useless site.

Not sure i believe that. My older stuff generally sells more than newer. Its fairly common as well for an older image thats never previously sold to suddenly come to life.
Confirmed. Even newer stuff is better in terms of image quality and design, but sells very badly.
I disagree here, this month by far has been doing very well for me. And my new stuffs too sold very well.
I am glad that it worked for you! Really!

Was their contributor till 2017 then dropped them. Returned in the end of 2018.
Currently i get about 40-50$ a month from almost 10.000 files.
I'm amazed you can put 10,000 images through their laborious submitting and keywording system in such a short time.
I used automatics and scripts to simplify the work. But really this stock not deserves to upload to it. Stay away.

Stopped uploading 4 month ago. Not going to delete just keep my best stuff for SS and Fotolia.
Hope they will collapse in a while. Why?
1. very low royalties
2. atrocious submitting and keywording system
3. too old to change anything
4. they already earned what they want (of course with our help)
Value your work! Don't upload to greedy *insult removed*!

We were working with them for a long while in regards to improve the keywords quality in the submissions coming through StockSubmitter to ESP.
We were open for a dialog and were implementing their every single requirement (you may have noticed those changes in the program).
Suddenly a month ago or so they had stopped communication with us on the matter. I guessed it's because they were satisfied with the keywords they're getting but... bah! out of the blue comes this decision to stop accepting submissions through StockSubmitter.
What can I say... that's a weird decision and it's completely illogical to cut the most convenient way to submit to them instead of keeping to work with us together to find a way to make it better for everyone...
Quite obvious that they want people to use their atrocious web-interface or incoherent deepmeta client. Today is my last upload via stocksubmitter, big corporations can't do wise things, bye-bye istock.
