Yes!  welcome back. Somehow I missed you, ye old fart. Dont worry about neewbie, happend to me about 3 times.

Ditto!  Blowing like the wind we are, but luckily I stayed recognizable with the same name and face 

3?

Liftoff.........! (ye right) 

better than me. gives me hope that increasing my port will still ++ my earnings. and I have 0 on the 12th....

Mantis!  I know its no consolation but I know two guys with 12K images between them, they have been stung now third time in a row by the changes and they are pulling their ports and ciao bella.

No you don't. You've just made that story up haven't you? Same as most of your other posts. You're probably ahead of Stig Larsson as Sweden's most prolific writer of fiction.

Hahahahahahaha

For me, something has changed for the worse.  Daily income significantly down.  Avg. dL per day prior to this change was 40.  Now around 25.

Mine have gone down roughly 40% since the change, quite literally an overnight change and its still declining.  Look the screenshot above im expecting my first zero day in well over a year shortly its been that drastic!

One more worrying thing ive seen since the change is new images.   Usually new images i could expect usually 90% of them to sell within the first 2-3 days (even if its only 1 or 2 sales), gain a "life" and then stay around.  Since the change not a single new image i've uploaded (30 or so) has sold even once.  Every single sale i am getting is over 2 months old.

Old news as it happens but Sure! that would be your reaction, since SS, is all youve got and its scarry, isnt it to even think the very thought of that something is going wrong here. Dangerous for you but not for me.
No, youre all mouth my friend, nothing else.

Well I tell you what. If they do decide to leave youll find out, over there actually and maybe then we will see who " made it up"
BTW, dont you follow other forums?  in that case this shouldnt be any news? ppl leave all the time, happens with all agencies.

Go back to your dark hole at Catherines wharf and do some writing, photography isnt your game, is it.   Oh! and Ed, in the other thread is 100% right and YOU are in the wrong.
Even as a groundling you should know they DONT SELL intellectual property.

seriously, is that hard to respect other? you are talking about the person who has more hearts in this forum and a contributor that have almost twice your sales at iStock

please don't start again with the RM talk, you have made your choices, other made theirs!

12 hours without sales on SS ... never happened in the last 6 months.   

 

wipe out here as well- I will not make payout this month which I did monthly for the seven month - sometimes reach payout amount ($100 usd) in 16 days. Now I cannot even reach in 45 days at this rate

You have been affected. You said so on the SS forum when it happened first time around

As unpopular the statement might be on this site, what is good for the buyer will not always be popular with the contributor. I am as effected as most, but can grasp that shaking the box a bit from time to time might be beneficial for sales and the buyer from time to time.
It might cause a thinner spread of income all over the contributor base, till the top contributor's higher level of quality product resurface (as it should) again. During that time the buyer is offered a new look content list, which revives the interest in the site and its content.
I am not happy about it, but if the move prolongs the life span of this top site and keep it in the top position it is now, I am prepared to (suffer) wait it out.

Silly me!  and I thought certain people here were applauding the new SS search?  or..............   well its funny but just about everything seem to go weird after going public.

Actually my earnings have been good since the IPO.  Whatever changes they make to the search, earnings seem to be quite stable.  I've not uploaded much either.  You seem to be fixated with the IPO changing things but that doesn't surprise me.  If you said black was white, I'm sure you would never be able to accept you got it wrong   You would rather insult people and then come back with a different name, so we don't recognise you for a few days.  Then you can say you're not anonymous here, even though you've tried to be and you can attack people that are anonymous, even though anyone with a brain can usually work out who they are quite easily.  It took me 2 minutes to work out who gostwyck was a few years ago.  I don't agree with everything he says about SS either but at least he doesn't keep disappearing and coming back with a new name.

Are you Ok today?  I dont seem to remember I said anything wrong in the above post? since you replied you must have read it.

Oh neer mind, time of the month isnt it. Or maybe you just wanted to score a few +++. Be my guest.

have a good day.

Funny how when you lose an arguement you resort to insults.  I was just pointing out your hypocrisy.  Hope you have a great day too
