Are there that many people here who actually think subscriptions are good for contributors? Or who still believe that SS's intention is for microstock to be profitable for photographers? The will to believe is strong.You hit the nail on the head with that one.you will get a minus if you don't like SS and their subs model, i get them all the time. and yes, sadly there are that many people who rave about subs. i don't get it at all.

I guess I'm not in their select club.

This month looks to be my lowest on SS since my first year, when I had less than 1k images.
Do I love getting 38 for a sale? No. But IMO that sale would probably not have existed before subs.

Why do you say that?People who buy subscriptions obviously need images for their work, on a regular basis. I'm guessing that whatever business they're in, it existed before subscriptions; and it would continue to exist even if all subscription plans ended tomorrow. They might have to pay a dollar or two for those images, but doing so wouldn't put them out of business.

Same here !So can we take it that you and PixelBytes are not one of chosen ones in the Premier Select bracket, because logic would suggest that those that did not make the cut would be see highest loses.
