    What I find most appalling is that they only pay their contributors 20%. I mean, these are the people that created EVERYTHING that they are selling and they are only giving them 1/5th of the selling price. That is insulting. I can earn more promoting just about any affiliate deal online and I don't have to actually create a thing. I don't have to have any creative skills to do so.

    You can earn more if you promise exclusivity and sell a pile of images, up to a whopping 40%. I would have expected that is where the percentage would start and that it would go to 60% if you were a power seller.

    • stock used to be 50/50, back in the day, when I worked for a stock agency... getty changed thatvaxorcist
