Dreamstime: DT for short, this is the picture library I am providing now. This photo library is characterized by its low requirements for pictures and is suitable for beginners. In addition, its unique exclusive mode, the website gives 0.20 USD for each image uploaded/kloc-0, may be better for some friends who are eager to receive USD. However, this is the treatment you can enjoy only after you apply for exclusivity. The condition for applying for exclusivity is very simple, that is, the website can send more than 50 pictures to apply. The advantage of applying for exclusivity is that, in addition to this $0.20, under the same conditions, the films you send rank high in the search results of the website. Of course, the download volume (except for factors such as image quality and keywords) is much better than non-exclusive. But the exclusive meaning of DT is that you can only provide pictures on this website. Once you sign an exclusive contract, you can't provide pictures from other photo libraries. If a breach of contract is found, the title will be immediately sealed and the punishment will be more severe. Therefore, you must consider applying for exclusive friends.
