Over the weekend on Stockphoto@yahoogroups.com Rick Boden said, “I was getting serious about (putting my images with) Adobe Stock Images and then I realized they sell images via subscription. I have a very bad feeling about getting into an arrangement like that based on experience where my present agency (that) has a tie in with Getty where I am getting many royalties of less than a dollar because of subscription sales.”

Absolutely agree with The Alternative. I was exclusive with iStock with footage. Before 2017 it was like $4-5K / month. After they create PA my earnings dropped to less than $1K. Like 70% of all sales of my 4K video with 3D and animation was less than $5. The majority of them was less than $1. I run away from exclusivity, lost high prices and 40% to 20%. Now I am on Shutter, Pond5, Adobe, Blocks and my earnings grow 4-5 times.
