There is also a thread (maybe we're referring to the same thread) about the general failure of keyword search due to keyword abuse.

You are right about the music business. The money is going out of selling recordings - they're becoming just promotion for live concerts.



thats a scary thought. I hope your wrong about that. We could possibly end up with a bunch of music produced on a laptop and midi controller.
The music that is coming out today maybe subpar to that of the past because of corporate control but as far as I know a good production still costs major money and involves a lot of people. Producers, engineers, Tracking studios, mixing studios, mastering studios...Can you imagine million dollar studios trying to survive on the local bands....everyone needs to get paid or we will have a serious drop in quality. Plus,  I would be concerned about bands not becoming popular without corporate backing. I mean how many bands have become huge hits without corporate marketting, by just self promotion on the internet? I have no idea but probably not to many. I could see the CD disappear but downloads will still be for sale. If the Big 4-5 disappear I think other corporations will just form to take there place. I just don't think pirate "free" is the way to go, It could kill the entertainment industry eventually. Maybe just a restructuring of the business model is in order.

Sales way down and mostly subs...Sad story. Almost 0 views on new uploads there lately.
Maybe because the buyers are starting to go on photos.com and on JIU instead of StockXpert. This was the primary goal from the first announecement of photos.com merge I think. It takes 1 or 2 weeks for the newest StockXpert files to appear on photos and JIU...

You might be right. All I know is views are noticably less as of late.

Yes, it seems like it takes a LONG time to start accruing views there. However, my revenue experience seems to be the opposite of most of those posting here: I keep making more every month at StockXpert and higher percentage of sales are PPD. Today I got a $21.00 PPD on photos.com for the 'ULTRA' size of one of my 3D renders.
