When you Level up you actually lose?

[When you Level up you actually lose?]

Hi,

I wanted to know if someone else is experiencing this.

I started at level 1 as everyone else. I was having very steady daily sales of 0.1$  and more on demand than usual.

On 17th this month I got an e-mail saying that I had leveled up.

I haven´t sold a thing since then. I was thinking maybe they give priority to profiles of lower levels that get lower commissions so they can keep more money. It sounds bad but...seeing the direction this is taking I would not be surprised. Or maybe I am having a bad second half of the month, but 0 sales for 2 weeks...that never happened before.

Anyone else noticed a drecrease of sales after leveling up?

 

Thanks!

 

 

[New earnings structure for Contributors]

So I got my first sale today at 0.1USD...ridiculous, what a waste of time shooting, uploading and keywording all those photos,

I guess they did this to earn more money and to get the smaller low sales photographers out of the way and have a more stable quality portfolio of the big production companies that can reach 5,000 sales in one month.

However I do not like companies that disrepesct the work of any creative, especially when all of them have to pass a quality test before entering. 

In a way this is good news. I always struggle after a session deciding what to do: Should I upload content to Micro or go for premium Macro? Now I have the easiest choice ever. I won´t bother wasting time uploading here anymore. Sessions that do not make it into Macro will go to other micro agencies as exclusive.

 

Cheers!

[Keywords being deleted automatically]

Hi everyone!

This must be happening to more people but I couldn't find a thread so if someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great,

 

The problem I have is that when I go to edit some keywords from my already approved images and delete or modify 1 keyword, suddenly a random number of keywords disappear automatically. Words are relevant and normal, such as "Summer", "sunset"... On one picture the system removed 25 keywords after I tried to edit one of them.

 

Any idea what's happening here?

 

Thanks!
