You have some great work there Stephen. I just made a few sales with a list price of $2.80 when the price I chose was $97. I don't know what's going on but I'm not happy also. I left Shutterstock years ago because they are criminals who constantly rip off their contributors in a multitude of ways and are racing to destroy the industry by continually undercutting other agencies while boosting amateur videos. They're all owned by the same scumbag criminals anyway. If POND5 has sold out to them then I'll be looking at creating my own because there are no ethical stock agencies that truly value their contributors.

Thanks mate. Lucky you got to see the clips as I've pulled them all down. Amazingly, they strategically make it hard for you to delete your clips. You can't bulk delete. Instead you have to delete one by one. I actually enjoyed that.

Hi folks. Yesterday many of you may received bulk payouts, which included some very low priced sales. The vast majority of these (including those referenced by folks here in forums), were related to low priced Adobe subscription sales that occurred over the last 4 months since their subscription launch in March. As you may know, we have now terminated our partnership with Adobe as of July 29th, and this was the final payout of those licenses issued by Adobe. Apologies for the disappointment this may have caused.

So Ryan, would "bulk payouts" be substantially higher if they were via Shutterstock?

@singletrack We are not currently distributing Pond5 content through Shutterstock (except for a few beta test cases where we have first discussed with the individual contributors).
