WirestockReviews of wirestock.io

Wirestock is a big scam platform! They pay you a fraction of the money they get and when you delete content form their platform they keep using it and selling it without authorization!!!!!! NEVER USE THIS PLATFORM! 1. After claiming the deletion of the footage for over than 120, we get always the same answer: it's on the way and it can take time. (do you really thing it's normal nowadays to take over 120 days do delete 30 files? NO) 2. After making an international complain trough a lawyer in San Diego California, and asking personally POND5 to remove the files, the files were deleted after 24 hours and we get a response from POND5 service team. In conclusion, whatever Wirestock is saying to refer to their terms of service, it's just obvious that the have taken 0 action to delete the files, and that by simply asking directly POND5 we got the problem solved. So never use WIRESTOK. If you want a serious platform: POND5 is the one to go.

Mala experiencia con Wirestock.

Ich habe Wirestock vor Jahren gefunden und geliebt. Jeder hatte eine gewisse Anzahl von Bildern, die er hochladen konnte. Sie nehmen 30% der Einnahmen. Jetzt auf einmal muss man ein Abo abschließen damit man Bilder hochladen kann. Sie versuchen überall nur noch Geld her zuziehen. Wenn sie es ändern, ändere ich auch gerne meine Bewertung.Viele Fotografen haben Wirestock den Rücken zugekehrt, weil sie es unmöglich finden.

habe bezahlt aber kann nichtmal photos hochladen. keine Ahnung wieso es nicht funktioniert. nun abo für ein jahr und es funktioniert nicht!

I think wire stock is a definite rip to the original content creator… I have an image that downloaded I get $.32… Really $.32 from my original content!!!

They are cheaters, it's clear that they are hiding some sales and stealing money, and once again it's proved that today's mail. The amount they said that I got from sales in mail is different from that is showing in dashboard, and later they sent mail that says its because of technical issue. If it was due to technical issue, " how it shows that i got sales for specific files for specific amount?" It's very clear that they are hiding some sales and stealing money from contributors.

Scam website. Their standards for acceptance of images to their marketplace are arbitrary. My images were high resolution, above DSLR quality yet they only accepted about 30 out of 750! I spent over a week arguing with support who gave me excuse after excuse for why my images weren't being accepted. I proved each of their excuses wrong and they finally told me it was because they didn't like my images. No other reason! Thieves and con artists! UPDATE: Their reply to my review only proves they are con artists. I followed their "guidelines" and they only approved 30 out of 750 images. The "trick" is that they gaslight you whenever you protest to their arbitrary acceptance metric. Total scam website!

Hi all! I want to share my experience with Wirestock so that you can have an idea of how things can become a nightmare with them and how they do not protect the artists who are their main source of profit. I opened an account at wirestock 1 or 2 years ago when I heard about them and wanted to try their system if it was worth it. And uploaded maybe a dozen of files to the system. I only got a few sales from their system. Few days ago (December 2023) I got an email from them which said my account was suspended because of some "suspicious activity". First I thougth it might be a scam and sent an e-mail to them using their support e-mail address which was on their website. And I started an email traffic. I should add that I didn't upload any files to their system for a long time and I even don't remember when I last logged in to their system. I am sure I am not the source of this "suspicious activity". They refused to give me any details about this "suspicious activity". They didn't even try to help me and solve this problem. What they did was just to request a photo of my ID card to investigate further. First I did not give it to them because all my trust to them was gone. Then I sent it just to be able to log in to the website and delete all my files from their system. But after submitting my ID they said they decided to close the case and my account would not be recovered. And when I asked about my earnings on their system (which is only a few dollars and which is nothing to me) they said they reserve the right not to make any further payments! And they tie all of these to their "terms of service". And they decided to sit on my earnings. Just like that! Yes we sign terms when we sign up to any service but we are human and think a service which earns their profit by the hard works of artists should protect the artists' rights and be more "human" in the face of any negative issue. I am writing these to spread the word an warn people about how they handle things and how artists can loose their earnings on wirestock. I am grateful I didn't upload more than a few files to them and loose so much of my precious time and money and trust. They may just say there has been some "suspicious activity" and shut the doors to your face!
