Never heard about third-party ads in bank dashboards. Guess why.

It's not for everyone. Yet.

I had adblock disabled for SS a while ago, fighting some glitches. Sure, I turned it on now. But it's not the core of a problem. Dashboard is very private place, it contains sensitive information. I don't think that it's a good place for ads. You would not keep a rat on your dining table, saying: "I tied it, so it can't make any harm. No worries!", right?

Why is there an ad in the Contributor Dashboard?

I thought, it's ok for them somehow to use 3d models they bought for their renders. Looks dirty for me, but I understand why it can be acceptable. You need to add a lot of work to 3D model to make an artistic scene with it. It's like a photography, when you have a real objects you don't own and photographer's work you did around it. But using stock backgrounds and footages? It is definitely not what their buyers want to pay for. Imagine you paid a few thousands for an original one-of-a-kind art piece and the next day see it in local grocery's ad. By the way, I have a little insider i

Now I have only about a 15-20% vectors unaffected. Sales stopped.

I have about 5000 vectors converted to raster illustration. I have no idea how to recover it. Not a single idea. They are still vectors, if you open it with a direct link (maybe I'm just lucky or did not checked enough). But you can't find it in the base with filter by Vector. Only as an Illustration. The same thing happens if you just add the keyword "vector". They disappear.

Well, I have the reply from support. Payments will be issued next month. And no official apologies, of course. Because shut up and do your job, that's why.

Guys, we have to eat, pay the rent, taxes, etc. You can't just skip the payment or move it to the next month! And buy the companies, invest, etc at the same time! I still don't have the money too.

In any case, with any stock - delete your works first. Then wait a few weeks to month and only after this ask for payout and closing the account. SS is less problematic, probalby, but there's always some weird partners, on-hold sales, etc.

Check out the Stock Contributor Coalition if you feel powerless.

Search for a MicrostockGroup forum. There's a huge list on the right panel. Choose wisely, read the feedbacks,

But YAY have no sales and previously known for not showing it and not controlling it's partners. Not a best company, I guess.
