Well, I’ve been a stockphotographer for 12+ years now, and the financial appreciation of my work has definitely declined bigtime since the coming of microstock. Microstock luckily has matured a bit over the past few years, returning a bit more on average per picture. But, there still is a long way to go to get back to the pre-microstock-levels!

Sad, but not surprised to hear that. Hopefully now, when new, decentralized platforms like Photochain come to life it will be much easier to earn a decent amount by selling stock photos.
Until it happens, there will be many chances to earn in the photography contests starting from next week probably. Looking forward to seeing your snaps (Steemit is bugging out like all hell now and I can't even open your profile, can't get past the 504 error, account doesn't exist)
Noticed it too that steemit is going buggy right now... Hope it gets better soon, so you can see my profile again ;-)
The contests sound interesting! How can I join them?
