I’m asking because of BME/WME discussions that no one really knows if we’re talking 20$ 200$ or 2000$
A drop is a drop, I respect it and feel bad for the ones that experience it (including me from time to time) but if one has 100 files online and sees a 30$ drop it’s way different from one that sees 2000$ drop with a large established portfolio.
I've posted some numbers. Like, for instance, I have 3500 images on Canva, and dropped from a high of more than $1000 a month to $35 last month.

Microstock went from somewhat profitable experiment to real business and back to somewhat profitable experiment. It still seems to be shrinking for me, so I'm not sure where the bottom is or the breaking point. I am curious where the experiment will end though.For who?.....for contributors aiming for a serious return on their investment I can't see it remaining viable to upload new images for much longer. For those who have already got a decent collection I would expect income to tail off. For the small agencies I reckon they are dead on their feet already. For the likes of Shutterstock no doubt it will last longer until the penny drops for new entrants that they face a near impossible task.
