Dallas, the only thing that counts is whether u make money there . if u do, what others say is not important. also, if everyone hates fotolia...means less ppl submit their work to them. if that means u earn more there, who cares?
In virtual world of anonimity on forums- yes, you are right. But, in real world, in your town, in your neighborhood, among your friends and people you live with - do you really live this way? Not caring about anybody, just going for money?
I know you don't. It's just that these internet world made us tell stupidities.

I'm not going to give up income just because my neighbor says it would br good for him. And I'm not anonymous. I would tell you the same thing to your face.

Nobody's asked you, or anyone, to give up income only because it's good for them. We've boycotted DPC because it's good for everyone. You included.

It's not good for me. I'm an adult, and I know what's best for me. FT accounts for about 10 percent of my monthly stock income.

Hmmph. Just the sort of contributor that DPC hoped, but probably never believed, it could really find. Enjoy your 3% earnings from them! They'll certainly be appreciating the 97% they take from your sales.

If being stupid means making more money, then I'll take it and smile.

I'll tell you what. Send me a check for $250 every month, and I'll drop FT just like you want me to. Put your money where your insults are.

And I'm not sure where you get 3 percent from. DPC sells a licence for a dollar and I get 29 cents. That's 29 percent. You know, Shutterstock undercuts itself with cheaper packages at Bigstock, and it pays less because it's almost impossible to get top tier there. Same principle, but nobody seems to be upset about that.

I'm feeling nice and cooperative, Gostwyck; I'll send you a self-adressed stamped envelope for the first month.

You just don't get it and obviously don't want to. Photographers will never achieve anything collectively against the agencies with this kind of outlook.

Hmmph. It turns out you are actually even more stupid than I gave you credit for. Just the sort of contributor that DPC hoped, but probably never believed, it could really find. Enjoy your 3% earnings from them! They'll certainly be appreciating the 97% they take from your sales.

I wonder who is the stupid one here

It seems you are confusing DPC (Dollar Photo Club) with DP (Depositphoto). DP are the ones paying only 3%.
So you boycott DPC without knowing why - or for the wrong reasons - or because you just didn´t think for yourself but just did what others were telling you to do...

Are you sure you meant to say this, or was it just because the debate has gotten heated? I ask because saying, to paraphrase, "I just want to make money even if it's hurting other people" are the words of a sociopath.

Took the words right out of my mouth. If FT is showing an earnings increase with no knock on impact elsewhere, how are they any worse than the sites Dirkr mentioned?[/font][/size]

I think your case is a bit a different from Rob's, the best way to maximise your sales could be go with DPC, just because of the nature of your portfolio. Different strokes for different folks.

Rob (and others like him) I still think are cutting their own throat for short term gains.

Rob, are you in this for the long haul, or do you think Stock is over and are actually concentrating elsewhere for the most part?

I can understand opting in if this is the case. If not how do you see this model as sustainable? As I've said before the real value of a dollar goes down every year and our pay per download has to be continuously cut by FL to increase their profits.

Great, if you post complete nonsense it´s a "great post"... And if you point out some of the flawed "arguments" you get multiple "disagree" votes...

Facts don´t count much on this forum...

What are you talking about now? I'm confused. I didn't attack anybody and I was talking to the other guy, not to him. I wasn't talking to you neither. Just give me a break.

It's Lagereek with some face-lifting trolling as usual yaaaawn. Not worth to think about it.

I stayed opted in to see if there were many sales but FT is still dead. I'm opted out now. I think that the DPC will be a big flop because FT have ruined their brand, just like istock have. The only way to rebuild it would be to get us interested again and istock and FT don't seem capable of that. I'm still doing well with the sites that haven't taken away my motivation to make money.
