Stock footage earning

Hi P5 community. I'm sorry for my english but i'm italian. in the past 2 years i work on P5 and i sell a lot of content. The last year i have a beautiful earning at the end of the year of something like 10.000usd. Every month i earn like 600 $, i sell a lot of dataset earning for very high price (3000 usd for Dataset).

But from the beginning of the 2025 with the new policy of Shutterstock i earn only 200$ between Gen and Feb. So I ask at the videographer that sell stock footage: you have my same problem? I'm the One with this big problem?

@Gioele, yes income has dropped considerably for me. I believe for most contributors, unfortunately. I do hope things get better, or it will be a waste of time uploading at Pond5 (& SS)

Good to read, Gioele. My income has dropped considerably on SS and Pond5. No idea if it will ever recover.
