Why would an "agency" need "contributors" to generate this stuff?  Why not just have their own employees do it, on demand, in response to customers' requests?   And eventually, of course, those former customers will learn how to generate their own images.

economics 101  - dont do it in-house when it's cheaper to out-source. for agencies, no employee can produce images as cheaply as available from contributors

buyers have even more incentive to use the agency rather than pay their own designers (if they have them).  now a designer can choose from 'thousands' of images - what are the chances the 1st phrase they give AI is going to be what they want?

and, the raw images from AI will likely still need work for some time.

I used the following words, but the pics, i think are awful " layflat  vintage typewritter with film camera and cup of coffee on wood table"

Hi Everyone,

I have been informed that the final selections in the latest wave for the Free collection have been finalized. By now, you should have received the payment for all of your approved assets (5 credits each). Thank you so much for your participation.

-Mat Hayward

That will remain in place for a while. Should go away in time.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

Thanks Mat !
One more question I have 90$ in balance but payout button is not blue ? is that because I have a Pending payment ?

You can only have one payment pending at a time. Once your currenty payment request is processed, you'll be able to submit a new request.

Thanks,

Mat

also this only seem to happen to RF image with Alamy, so maybe only upload RM there

In my case, 0 out of 31 illustrations were selected - I could have saved myself the time of considering whether to submit all or just some for the free collection.
Quite disappointing...
