Quoteno sales since 4 days... it's unusual for me. 

Yes, long weekend. Things should pick up tomorrow, hopefully.

Funny thing I just realized as I don't really pay much attention to Daily sales Mostly weekly or Bi weekly But, For some reason the past 4 Months or so Im Having the almost Identical sales numbers everyday. everyday within one or 2 sales even on weekends.Strange.
Is it being somehow controlled? Hmmmm tinfoil Hat stuff.lol

Things are slow but not zero

April was my largest sales for SS to date, though largely because of a couple $20+ sales.  Overall the number of downloads from SS seems stable but slightly increasing (as is my portfolio size).

So how is the No Sales on SS compared to DT? Even in bad days the sales on SS should be much higher on DT as far as I can observe.

I had 30 downloads yesterday and only 3 today so far. So weird for a weekday.

Anyway, need to stop myself from checking so often.

I think it's the Full Moon and the pyramids, along with alignment of Venus and Mars and Sun spots,  plus UFOs that send signals to our brains. All of this is caused by unexplained outside forces, not economics, market or buyers needs. It's all luck and a game... controlled and manipulated. Abandoned all hope, ye who enter here, into the world of Microstock. You have perished, so has your income. You are now in Photo Purgatory.

I'm taking a vacation from this absurd speculation and insanity. Enjoy your Summer of self inflicted misery. Find some Reynolds Wrap or Kaiser Quilted Foil and make a strong hat with a little propeller on top. Have a good "trip".

I have never known it so bad and yet March was my best month ever. 3 times my normal earnings. This is definitely engineered manipulation as it has been A B Y S M A L since that great month. I am sick and tired of uploading new work that sinks into a black hole of despair.

I assume you didn't write them and accuse them of manipulation when you had 3 times your normal earnings in March? Or complain here about it?

No because it was a one off. Why are you on my case anyway ?

We already discovered that when sales are good, that's the way it's supposed to be, our works are the reason. When sales are down, there's something wrong, they are capping us, the agency is the cause because they manipulate sales. Some people can't understand that sales go up or down, buyers have needs. Sometimes the buyers don't need what we sell, sales will go down.

Why does everything in selling stock photos, video or illustration, have to have some hidden cause or conspiracy?

Because the patterns repeat the same every month which is a bit of a giveaway.

Except when they don't and you have a "one off" month
