With the occassion of reaching yet another milestone (oh well) I wish them to impose weekly upload limits, like istock has.

Yes, it translates in "I really meant what I said"

It's simple - less dilution, more quality, possibly better rewarding $0.38 'togs and all the other good things derived from these.

yep I wondered that would be your answer, quite divided about your wish myself

1 - suitable for contributors that aren´t going to upload much in a near future (keeping income a lot stable)
2 - a big mess like it was when DT pulled out a similar model (very bad for top contributors with heavy production)
3 - new and average contributors would be punished (unless they change their own game)

what I think it should be done? perhaps a big cleaning

They did it yesterday (or the day before)

What I didn't see coming is the contributor that did it has 60,000 photos and videos in the collection.

High quality?? My arse. 7 years ago it was empty your HD business and those are still online. Utter tripe.

Here's their twitter post as well. I'm not sure whether to congratulate them or not? That's a lot of competition for my images

Totally agree. The day that a microstock photographer really has to differentiate themselves from those 20,000,000 images was five years ago, let alone today.

Only if I'm allowed to sell my upload slots to other contributors.
