What does that mean if you're exclusive with Pond5, can I begin uploading content to Stock too?

This is ironic. I deleted my shutterstock account a while back so I could be exclusive with pond5.

My sales have plummeted while my views have exploded. I used to be able to pay bills with Pond5 and Shutterstock.

Not so much anymore.

Submission reviews take ages now and sales have dropped to 5% of what they were. Is Shutterstock shutting down Pond 5?

RWBrooks, Really? mine seem to be ready the next day.

I keep getting 0.25 sales on Shutterstock. Almost daily. It's humiliating: I'd rather not sell these clips at all for that price. Any quick way to opt out of these cheap-o sales?

I knew it would end in disaster. Worse payout EVER.

Yup need to go back 15 years.
