It was decent.

It could be that they thought it should be editorial for a reason other than the model release. I've noticed that Pond5 just marks clips as editorial for things like logos or signs in the background rather than rejecting them.

I doubt that's that's the case since all my videos show as editorial, even the nature macro ones. 

I just hope that the last two weeks of the august the wheel needle will land on my name.

So when in dashboard - uploads, when I hoover over a clip the preview comes up and a text under it saying "Editorial use only - no model release provided..." even thou I did attach releases. When I actually click on a clip and it takes me to buyer side preview under it in description it actually does say that it contains releases.
Is this just some dashboard bug or should I be concerned?

Camera is only worth as much as a lens you attach to it. In other words, if you are not going to utilize the advantage of different lenses, there is no point in getting an interchangeable lens camera.
In another words, I have a phone that takes nice 4K video but I don't film anything with it because I can't attach my 85mm f1.4 lens to it, so I prefer filming with Nikon dslr in 1080p.

In my humble experience the big sales usually clear in about a month, it's the small ones from distributors that got hanging even for 6 months.

115 sale are marked as partner portal sale...mostly gave me 0,85 cent...not bad, seems coming from australia only and a bunch south korea, seems like somebody download a loto of my photos ...maybe is the canva deal?

Lately I've been seeing a lot of my stuff come up on Canva, I was wondering who was porting it.

Thank you all very much for your kind insights.
Model was like a family, a friend and a longterm boyfriend of my sister. I found a moment in these hard times for her to talk about it as to take action as soon as possible and as he was an artist himself, a photography student and graduated painter, we both went trough a creative process creating those photos, had a lot of fun and good times, me and my sister came to the conclusion that the photos should stay where they are as something he helped create, a memory of good times and something achieved and generally a tribute to this great young man. A creation should live beyond and spread.

I think this is good line of thinking.  We think that he would want that.

How is one supposed to go about in case of deceased model featured in photos in multiple agencies?
I'm thinking both legally, ethically and emotionally as the person in question was very close to me.

My line of thought being that I should send requests to agencies to delete all photos containing a certain model release.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

Best month ever for me. They must have been playing with the search engine.

I believe they are, I am seeing a very bad month here.
Congrats to you.

Really seems like it, today it seems back to normal again (my best sellers selling), while during the poor period of the month I was getting some sales of images that mostly never sold, like someone was digging them up from their pit.

Also from what I see, for me, only IS gets the new uploads moving instantly.

Wow, totally opposite to me! My new uploads disappear into the abyss, and in a double whammy, my bestsellers one by one suddenly* disappear from the first page to lower than page ten on their most likely search term and stop selling.
*It is always sudden, never a gradual slide.

As you suggest, we are all depending on the lottery of getting high value Getty sales.

Seriously, on SS and AS nothing newly uploaded seems to get traction at all, while on IS it really does sell and I can see them getting views and and lightbox added.
Also, from my personal angle, stuff that sells on IS actually the stuff I think is good - not so stockish, this stuff is dead on SS and AS. I don't know why is like that but for me it is, there's always a bunch of surprises on the 20th while SS and AS are so predictable.
