Thanks for the Charts Kelby! istock is clearly and continuously losing traffic. At this stage I don`t think it is easy for them to reverse the trend and I would even say it is impossible to stop it. A clear message to the remaining exclusives...Impressive is the drop for DT too....might that be because of lesser uploads?

Maybe they are "too similar"

"word of mouth" is the strongest factor causing istock's decline here..

surely, a company who steals from contributors is bound to go down..

I can not talk for global trends, but I definitely lured a few customers away from istockphoto.. That's the best I can do..
