Greed? Supply and demand baby. I don’t know what pictures you take, but most likely, they’re a commodity and anyone can do it, especially nowadays. Maybe you feel like you are working hard to make pictures, but the labor theory of value isn’t correct. You get paid based on how easy it is for someone else to replace you. And while I don’t exactly understand the intricacies of stock photography, I’m guessing it isn’t that hard to take some pictures. Ergo, you get paid less.
