Hi all,
I noticed there is an auto price filter while searching for videos which are at 50$ or 80$ for 4K clips, to me pond5 is slowing killing the artist work by putting this low-cost cheap filter. If this continues, most of the artist won't see any sales unless they set a low price and this way pond5 team forcing us to sell low?
The standard market price for 4K clips is from 179$ to 199$ why us artist willing to sell cheap?
By setting a low price, we are enabling pond5 to take advantage and slowly the video stock industry will die. I see so many people giving great clips under the free category, and why is that? If we don't value our work, no one else will do.
I have raised my concerns with pond5 team for doing this nasty rip off. I hope other fellow artist understand the issue and take the necessary steps.

Is the filter on again? Honestly if I have to ditch P5 for SS in the future it will just make my taxes easier so... Nice going P5.

As of now, it is removed, I guess a lot of artists might have complained. But it can come back anytime. I had zero sales for the past four months, but Shutterstock is doing well. Its time to find some other alternative.
