Can any video contributor provide insights on their experience participating in the unlimited plan model on SS?

I've now reached the 30-day wait before being able to opt in after having opted out.

I'm considering giving it a try, but I would appreciate any positive or negative experiences you may have.

Thank you

One thing is for sure the business is losing it's ability to make a living out of it. Sure there are some doing well but most of us, myself included, are seeing loses with each passing year. I no longer depend on my income and will not purchase another professional camera just continue to use my iphone for pics-vids. I've accepted that the end is near and just ride it to the sunset...

Are you dong anything else in photography to support your income or something else entirely?

Got 36 accepted perpetually and 4 for a year, so yea $400 is a cool bonus to put towards a new drone (eyeing the Mini 5 Pro coming out in Sept)

Many of the perpetual ones I can reshoot and upload.

interesting, i wonder why you got this breakdown. i had 32 accepted for a year but 0 for perpetuity. i do prefer it this way though... a few of these images were chosen last time as well so i already made $9 for them and there's a small chance i'll get more than $10 eventually.

They use those "missions" to feed firefly, adobe's Ai. And review actually goes pretty fast.

If you ask about is it worthy ? Well....true answer to that is do you have a time to create large batches of technically bad photos that you wouldn't submit otherwise for a small amount of money.

Do they often ask you to do missions ? Well.....their firefly is always hungry.

The only way I can give away my images is through my website, to do marketing FOR ME, not for agencies.

So, this year too: opt-out! Not a single image of mine in the Adobe Stock Free collection, if you want them, you pay!

the point is NO ONE WANTS these images! i gladly take $4 of passive income for older images that havent sold.

and nothing prevents you from private sales - likely a very different audience

Many photos that I don't sell on Adobe bring me tens of $ on Shutterstock or Istock.

$28.8 for 8 images after withholding taxes.

I nominated 66 images.

I’m happy with this small income boost.
