New earnings structure for Contributors

You are right. I just sent an email to support but don't expect any meaningful answer. -

Well that's a strange strategy. I thought I anyway invested time into the stuff I already uploaded and at least wanted to reap the benefits of a higher initial tier in 2020. So I stopped uploading immediately after May 25th and had a look at how my earnings developed to later decide whether to delete my port completely come Jan 1st. As I stated earlier in this thread I encountered a 9.9% loss until EOY according to my shadow accounting of real sales on level 4 and projected a total loss of income of 18.1% for 2021 with the reset to level 1 and a gradual climbing in the ranks over the year.

Well I didn't get the email, but I also didn't get the email concerning the "New Earnings Structure" EO May last year. And in my Spam folder there are only bitcoin and blue pills messages. -

Btw do new percentages apply immediately after passing the threshold or next day or whatever? Will we get a “congratulatory” email? -

Wow. Up to now this year a RPD of way below 20 cents. And the main competitor sold more than 2 times as much images for exactly 10x the revenue. Way to go Shutterstock! -

An open letter: Dear Shutterstock, years ago you implemented large volume subscription plans for low per image costs. I assume that you thought at that time that it makes sense since not all slots will be used anyways. It seems that you now know that this was a complete fail. You had killed the microstock market and needed to make the contributors pay for your failure by paying them only a fraction on sub sales. So on May 25th you announced a one-sided change of our royalties which was packaged as a motivation to earn more by submitting more images. In fact the opposite happened. I imm -

I thought on level 4 we ought to earn more than the old 2.48 USD (old level 2) when selling ODDs. But my last three ODDs were 2.11, 2.47 and 2.20. -

I thought about it for end of the year because of the resetting to 15%. But tonight I had my biggest single earning with 87,24 for a SOD. Since I am on level 4 this brings me into the plus for this month comparing old against new earnings scheme. I stopped uploading May 26th and still will have a BME this month due to this sale. So it seems like I will not deactivate but still not upload any additional assets. My earnings on other agencies are now continuously outperforming SS by far (even in this good SS month). And BTW: this is just a lottery - if I would have sold this same image in Ja
