I'm still wondering why almost all my sales there are 0.1...

What level are you? This is where the 10c sales come from. Large subscription packs of 350 or 750. Anything in the pink (or salmon?) is where we get a 10c commission.



The reason for the white was, only place where anyone would get more than the old, entry level 25c for a sub. Everything else is less. And considering how easy it was to get to 36c a download, or 38c a download (at $10,000 lifetime sales), of course this represents a substantial cut. In my case I make around 65%% less now, for subs, than before the change.

10c subs are the minimum when the commission would have been less than 10 cents, based on what the customer pays.

Top line, level one, just for an easy to see example. Customer pays .57 an image, and at 15% we'd get, $0.0855 but that's below minimum, so SS pays us the minimum.

If you look down to 750 images with advance billing, the buyer pays .22 an image, at 15% we'd get $.033 per sub download. Instead SS raises that to 10 cents. Which is about 300% of what the buyer paid. That kind of pack, never reaches any of our payment percentages for any level.

35 days to reset  :-[

My level is ridiculous. I have started now to have constant sales every day. But I used to have bigger sales before all this crap...

Do 100% of people get it? Yes, maybe danger.

Not everyting in life is a political war. Trump has a huge team of doctors for himself. We don't.
A team which has so little to do otherwise that they can just stand around behind the doctor who speaks to the press.

In the TV images at the White House we all can see Trump can't breath properly. He has received a new treatment, not avaiable for anyone else.

If indeed, the death tolls are correct. I read a report of how cases are counted, and there are games going on. Less than 1% of the people who get it, die. So most dont die. (according to cdc. true? who knows, lying has become a national sport under trump) Every year, tens of thousands die from the seasonal flu. Yet I saw no one in my community making a stink about wearing a mask or distancing pre-rona.

In Spain when covid sends people to hospital 1/5 dies. It's not a flu.

Both candidates knew how the Electoral College works. The popular vote never mattered.

One candidate campaigned in the battleground states and the other was too busy mingling with celebrities. Blame the candidate who mingled with celebrities instead of the one doing actual campaigning.

Knowing the game is rigged doesnt make the game not rigged. The fact remains that the electoral college is unfair and was purposely designed to be unfair. To make one team always have to fight an uphill battle while the other continually coasts downhill is ridiculous. Why do the Republicans need an unfair advantage? I wonder.

No answers for those questions, but voting systems can be changed.

This is a circle. And it's the same in all countries.

When?

edit.

I'm reading a Times article about that. My knowledge about the system is just how it works now and my English is a quite poor, but the article is in Spanish. I see it was designed to give an advantage to the southern states.

Anyway ALL electoral systems are unfair. You have to win with that like Clinton or Obama did.

f.i. In my country a small party that supports terrorism and killing people is in fact decisive because our voting system gives and advantage to concentrated voting in small regions. And some tiny regional parties (with extreme ideology) are stronger than some national ones with a lot more votes.

I mean, you have to play with that s.

apologies for my English. These topics are hard to me  ;D

The problem is not POTU. The American society placed him there, as president of the USA.

The electoral college placed him there. The people voted for Hillary Clinton.

Yes, but the voting system works for both candidates, both have to win in the same conditions.

In my country voting system is a s. too and so in every country I know.

No, the minimum is 0.25. Don't know if they have levels but sales are very poor to me.

I use to have problems to submit when I send a lot of pictures (rejections for "file transfer error") and rejections with the same program that SS uses with stupid reasons.

LOL, yeah, even worse in some ways. (until now) If they had kept the bridge, I would have stayed with BS, just for whatever fell on me and the easy adding of photos, because I could upload once and forget about them. BS used to pay 50c minimum per download before the company was sold.



"New York, September 23, 2009 Shutterstock, the worlds largest subscription-based stock photo agency, announced that it has acquired BigStockPhoto, a leading credit-based stock photo agency, headquartered in Davis, California. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed."

Note: I didn't think of this until after I posted it. 25 is more than 10 ?

When the review problems started, I stopped uploading there. After the 0.10 stopped SS too.

I can sell for peanuts in IS if I want with 0 problems with my pictures. In fact, my rpd is higher there now, because almost all my pictures are selling under the 0.25 in SS.

Maybe AS or AL will work for me in the future, don't now. Not now.

Here in the EU the news about Trump in the last days are quite scaring. The media are saying he could not accept the election results with the support of supremacist groups, the good old nazi guys.

I think it is just another stupid thing he has said about the mail voting or something... Can't believe that.

I do think he is ill now. He should have used a face covering all the time, like everyone else should do.
