It started to rain dimes so I got a bucket

Agreed. Nobody is thrilled with this arrangement but I'm becoming increasingly bored with the number of people that can't find a way to move on from this. It isn't and never was Shutterstock's responsibility to put food on tables, pay bills and the mortgage. There's no employee/employer relationship. It's unfortunate that some contributors put all of their eggs into one basket, yes, but at some point it's time to move on.

I have some Flickr pals that are on there with me and here's the consensus: If you walked into the nearest McDonald's right now and asked everyone present if they could spare some change, you'd likely do better than wasting your time with FAA.

I hope the majority of you have income sources outside of Shutterstock commissions.
