Not many sales for almost 4,000 files.
Dumc:
Is this the same guy, this are his dreamstime sales..
Justanotherphotographer:
LOL, I love how poorly cropped that image is too!
Hats off to this guy. I find it hard to get too animated about this given SS’s behaviour and the fact that there are actual thieves allowed to run rampant on the site.

Conclusion - I think dear Oleg is a piece of AI masquerading as a person and is probably being used to test search functions and software as there is no way anyone could get the top slot in all of these search terms.

Interesting theory, but since he has real accounts on various stock agencies, I doubt that's what's going on here.

If that was a question Dumc? ;) If so, Yes he has many accounts, same guy and that data looks like DT. No he's not a SS company account or an AI Bot.
If being on the front page helps, and he figured out how to do that, interesting. I still say, you can be seen first but that still doesn't mean buyers will download substandard images.
He is = "Onion Gum" You can market it all you want but it's never going to be popular.
Dumc:
My question was simple. Is the information, posted by Yada the same guy that this thread is about. No need to read between the lines because there aren't any. I was just curious because I didn't read the whole thread
