I think the most insulting part of all of this is they tried to bill this is a positive change, something we would be happy with. Shows you how dumb they think we are. Talk about trying to polish a turd

Just skipped over the last 100 pages to post this, nice.

How's that boot taste?

Censorship out in force

Don't spend it all in one place

I knew a few years back, uploading images to pond5 was worthless. Anyone know if that has changed? Is it worthwhile in 2020?

Then they have the balls to post this today https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/cinema-verite-filmmaking

Anyone else chuckle at the fact that you have to sell over 25,000 video clips in a single year to achieve the same payout rate as Pond5 offers every single contributor? And that's after Pond5 reduced their cut from 50% to 40%, and they are STILL miles above Shutterstock for a cut. Unreal.

Also note how the footage earnings breakdown in the OP is wildly different than what we were told in the email. Hint: The actual email is way worse

Ironic, I got these two sales today. About to kiss these days of fat video sales goodbye.

Wow, as a video guy this completely guts my earnings. 2500 downloads to get to the 30% that it is now? Cruel, disgusting. I'll upload all future footage to pond5 and adobestock exclusively.

Had a $1.50 yesterday. https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1017276382-4k-aerial-drone-footage---hikers-atop I only had to: Fly to Japan, drive to Mt. Kita, hike up Mt. Kita (Japan's 2nd highest peak) with a drone, and get lucky with outstanding sunset condition on the summit with my brother. All my effort was greatly rewarded though, I can now buy a bag of chips. Thanks Wix! Thanks Shutterstock!
