Pond5 like Shitterstock?

I'm a Pond5 contributor since the very begin, back in 2006. I start sell online my timelapses after a meeting in Rome with Tom Bennett, one of the pond5 co-founder, a very nice guy.
I am very thankful to all pond5 team for the incredible results I had since then.

Today for the first time I discovered that pond5, in a unilateral way, decided to sell one of my clip for 2,28$ (instead of 60)

I just would like to say, and I hope all of you will do the same, if I ever have another clip sell in this unrespectful way, sadly I will close my pond5 account.

I'm a little bit luckier my last clip sold for $4 (instead of 30) . But I agree with you about closing my account.

This new ridiculous shutterstock (without our consent of course) subscriptions is a steal.

They don't respect our work anymore.

Sold today, can't even call it 'sold' anymore let's say they stole some clips for a ridiculous low price. Insane how big centralised companies became so greedy and grab more money from their contributors.
