46% increase in images pretty extraordinary considering the number they seem to be rejecting!!!

The rise in RPD seems to go up indeed, I am experiencing that too, problem is that the number of downloads have to be shared with more images, so the end result is still a stagnant or decrease in earnings. SS is doing better but contributors keep getting less and less per head. Basically they spread the risk more and more by adding tons of images and contributors.

This is my position as well. DL's way down. It's the random SOD that makes or breaks my month. I am so very disappointed that SS is taking the same plays from the playbook of most other micros. Silence tells you a lot.
