Hi David,
I smell a lot of negation and cynicism in your posts. Fair enough. Your comments. Thank you so much for your interest in this post of mine.

This discussion is leading nowhere, as i do not even know who you are and in what capacity you are making these " veteran comments".
I on the contrary have 15 years of A++ career track record with the blue chip organisations. Its my business and venture.

No one is forcing you or anyone to be a part of it. You are free to influence others if thats your agenda here.

Anyway, since you are very anti - " a new photo agency " you can look away and let me be too.

Wish you the very best in your career. (probably you are a photographer)

Hi Sugandha,
I am not 'anti new agency' but there is a new agency a month being launched, where many promises are broken before they failed, with your knowledge you should know the market and that most new starters in the last 3 years have failed or are struggling badly, please tell us all of a recent start-up success, the cost in getting involved to contributors in time and effort is far greater than the finance the owners have lost, that is just money, where if the contributors had focused the effort on established companies, they would have had more net revenue.

You are posting here with 15 years of A++ career track record with the blue chip organisations using the 3 years 'Getty' gained knowledge as a potential website owner from your end of the business, I am posting here with 40 years diverse knowledge as a former business owner employing 40 trades people through the last recession, freelance IT consultant 15 years including analyst and solution architect for a 'Blue Chip' account software package, but with more relevance to this industry microstock and macrostock contributor and commentator on this end of the business, I have no hidden agenda other than reporting my views and analysis of the industry as it stands at any point in time, so our perspectives will differ.

I will do as you ask 'look away and let you be', however the answers to all your questions on new website cynicism are here in these forum posts for you to read, I would suggest you spending some time on other active posts here on new website ventures to get the view from both ends of the business, you will gain more from them than exchanging points with me.

There is a list of 23 low earner and start-ups on the right with many more that do not even make this list, compared to 6 + 3 that tells it's own story.

David  (nothing personal and without prejudice)

To the OP, if you can't take comments an criticism from the collective knowledge, then I'm not sure why you posted in the first place in a forum where the contributors content and time are both valuable.
