Same here. I received some time ago 0.01 so... 0.08 $ is good

.01? God that's low! So next step could be they sell an image and we don't get anything? I mean 8 cents just aren't wort the effort to make the picture.

Newbie here,
is it normal to get 0.08$ for a probably normal sub sale over Getty Images? Cause thats what I got today. I mean its really low. Maybe its not the greatest picture in the world but again eight cents!

Seeing as this is a discussion about Shutterstock

but seeing as you ask I know a Getty contributor who has received 1 cent and 2 cent royalties

So 8 cents is well within Getty's ability

Now back to Shutterstock ..... 

They optimized their income, that's trivial. Don't you get it? My EL sales was cut in a double after they incorporate subscription for EL licenses.
They just measuring for how more they can deflect contributors to increase their revenue. In a year or two expect more optimizations like this.

I am planning to switch to music production. In this area commissions are way better.
