SO what we supposed to do with this information?
It seems over time the only worthwhile turn to take is to exit stock photography 100 percent.
Far more cost effective just to stick the money in a US stock market index fund.

Instead of just reporting the flush down the drain production of stock photography.........
maybe a some viable other ways to deal?

I hate to say this but this , but since 2009 the best way to deal is not to...in photography anymore.
But please gave us some at least not always such depressing news.

Sad to see what's happen and will happen,
