Title: No Sales in Antarctica or the Arctic
Post by: PROStalkFatagopher on July 09, 2015, 21:18

A curious anomaly has come to light when I view my personal sales map. I simply never get any sales in Antarctica or the Arctic!! I am dumbfounded! Also, who is the mysterious person off the coast of north-west Africa downloading my images? Or...is this Shutterstock's version of the Bermuda Triangle? I've noticed it does seem to be on the same latitude as the Bermuda Triangle. Makes my little tail shake!

I get a lot in the sea off NW Africa too! Guessing it's the Canary Islands.

It's just the middle of the map. Every time a file is purchased and the buyer is not located by a lokal IP-adress, the pic will be shown in the middle of the map, somewhere in the ocean near the Canary islands  :D  8)

Polar bears and penguins have great difficulty in opening an account with Shutterstock, I'm told.
