Thank you very much, Mat.
I find it really very impressive how you are the only agency that keeps in touch with us. Even if everything is not always perfect, at least you make us feel noticed and respected.

But if my sliming around here doesn't result in mass downloads tomorrow for me, I'm going to be pissed. 

p.s
Adobe ask us to join the "game" of uploading to earn money. But for playing the game you have to know (all) the rules of the game. Apart from good key-wording, having a good title, submit a quality photo, submit what customers want, it's also important that when you obey by these rules to know where you are positioned and how long you stay there.
I am really sorry to bring it up again but I noticed that position is almost everything. If I know what the rules are for positioning then all the rules for the game are clear and I can play the game.
I know that you are saying, you don't know, and you come with the obvious recipe, but what is the secracy about it?

Example. let's say you upload a new photo, you get get placed up pretty high because you are new and that is a bonus for Adobe to refresh search results. Then afterwards. after a certain but unknown time, on basis of your sales and position you get calculated again in the algorithm. If you sell well according to your position, you stay there, if not, you drop. Completely fair and no way to cheat but why not just make these rules public then?

I rather accept that my photo is not that popular then that I don't understand why it drops all of a sudden. Unless it's just random and it's lottery who get's to the first three lines. Now I don't know and that seems to be more frustrating.

Food for thought maybe for Adobe?

Hi Mat. Good stuff and thanks for sharing! And I mean the Behance livestream.

Thanks Mat. Adobe's engagement with contributors really takes me back to the golden days of IStock and SS.
