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.
Im happy with this small income boost.

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...

personally this month i have only 2 sales for .25 each ... that is very weird because in the past i had lot and i mean a lot of .25 sales ... this month i have 50% of sales with an average selling price of 10/12 dollars ... few for 2$ and 3$ .... so sincerely i dont know what changed in the practice .... but im noticing that im selling more recent videos than the older one from my portfolio ... at the beginning of the year i was selling for most part only old stuff ... maybe they have changed something in the algoritm?

no i dont participate .... the difference between the first months of the year is that since april/may im selling many videos with good prices ... for example this month: 3 for $36.93 - 2 for $31.19 - 2 for $34.76 - 2 for $38.90 - 4 downloads for $53.12 .... and so on ...
Where does one make sure they are "not" signed up for that? I haven't really had any significant video sales on shutterstock in a long time, although I do have a good portfolio. They seem to only pay $0.25 per video...

Where does it show how much you got?

Most buyers dont shop around, or check if the same image is free on Adobe.

I finally was invited to participate in "missions." I read all your discussions about it and was kinda sad not to be part of the club. I may never be able to be paid next to nothing for 1000s of photos of bananas. Now that I'm included though, wondering if its worth it? I have the opportunity to photo people and an empty space for $1 for the pair of photos.
Are you all participating? How long is the review process? Is it one mission per quarter or more/less?
