Yes great for the stock holders , not so great for the contributors, making less now than when I started 13 years ago on Shutter Stock , always thought we would get rewarded for the money we brought in for this company, instead they give us a demotion now every year at the beginning of the year, a real incentive to keep uploading (not). now I just give them what they pay for. It use to be fun and profitable on SS, not any more. At least they can get tons of new contributors at no extra cost to them until they figure out they can't make any real money unless they spend all there time doing this
