first 13 days of January:
- AS: 272,58 USD Download: 40
- SS: 53.81 USD Download: 30

Only videos .. no AI ...

That is really interesting, I didn't think that Adobe was already doing this well with video.

On pond5 I see a lot of creators blaming increased competition for their lack of sales, whereas for me it is obvious that since the takeover p5 was no longer being marketed properly.

"dollar bin" prices becomes "cents bin".

So far this month Shutterdump is $103 (but $30 of that was one large sale) and AS $250.

Even taking into account the level reset the trend is clear - that doesnt explain the SS dive.
P5 is on $38

Adobe not taking editorial even gives Shutterstock a portfolio advantage of a few thousand images and 100+ videos.

the real deal on SS are the extended licenses ... today i sold 1 video with extended license for 30.22$
and 3 videos for 0.50$ each $:-\$

So the extended video now earns less than the default minimum video did a few years ago.

(Anyone else remember the old days where an EL was the holy grail of image sales profit?...)
