Я сегодня спрашивал в саппорте - что с продажами?
Отвечал Drew (из пре-саппорта):
"Many contributors, including ourselves, have seen a drop in sales which began a year or two ago and has certainly not improved. This is also being reported by contributors to other agencies.
There is no clear single answer why and if there was a solution we’d be doing it and telling everyone else as well! It would seem likely to be the current economic situation world wide so companies are cutting costs and people are looking for other ways to earn money so the number of contributors has increased significantly with fewer sales to go round. More recently I suspect the development of AI software to produce images has affected the stock industry significantly and at least Shutterstock is allowing our use in this field to be rewarded.
I can assure you that it is not restricted to Shutterstock contributors and it is not because of anything they are, or are not, doing."
Ну и касаемо "теории заговора и теневых банов акаунтов" ))
"Yea I’ve read that too but it’s certainly not true, why would Shutterstock reduce their own earnings by limiting the sales of contributors. It would also be very odd to build into the system a process for secretly stopping sales for specific customers, if they wanted to stop you selling they’d simply disable your account, why do it secretly when the Terms of Service allow them to do it openly?
It simply doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t fit with their policy of expanding sales in many different directions. Sales are down to what customers are searching for at any given time."
why would Shutterstock reduce their own earnings by limiting the sales of contributors.
зачем Shutterstock сокращать свои доходы, ограничивая продажи участников
Затем, что выплаты авторам - это расходы шатера, а не доходы. Доходы он получает от продаж планов.
