Eyeem joins Shutterstock's race to lower payouts

[Elliott Cowand Jr]

This is how the future will be for all stock agencies.  First, they lower contributor's payout percentage.  In the furture - if you don't meet a certain threshold of sales they'll charge you to host those pictures glutting up their servers.   Too much content that isn't selling cost them money to store.

Basing payout level on the previous 12 months is a lot fairer than resetting it to level 1 every January.
