But! Shutterstock, you don't appreciate us... Yes, ladnol, I'm new here and I don't have the coolest jobs, but I will be very sorry to say goodbye to you! You were like my first love... Now you're spitting into your own well. We'll survive because you're not the only one. Will you survive? I'm sorry to hear that you arrived late to the party here. Times were really good in the old days. But yes you are so right. This is devastating news. It is shocking. Your attitude is right. I hope that SS will harm themselves with this cold hearted decision. There are better places that deserve our images. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

They are just lining their own pockets at the cost of the contributors. I think at this time we should invest more into Adobe, yes we understand you a business but when you have no regard for the people that brought you where you are it's time for them to pull out.

futuristman Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Big shutterstock meeting: CEO; "the world is going through a difficult period. we need to turn this crisis into an opportunity. we'll pay the contributors less." Other people:" contributors will react greatly. CEO: "What are they going to do? will they leave?"hahaahahah (laughter in the meeting room...) after the industrial revolution, they used to cut factory workers ' wages every year. more to earn and increase income. in the new world order, we are the new cheap workers. we're new to this system and we can't react. because we can't organize. Watch "the english game" on Netflix. it's about our current situation. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I would of thought the big players will still have the most to lose especially with the reset every January.

zsooofija Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 After turning vector uploads into a nightmare (regardless of long time contributors telling you it makes no sense), do you really think people will resize vectors and manually keyword for 0.1$?? What's next? We will going to pay you for selling our work? Thank you Shutterstock for spitting on us. It's time for copycats to take over. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Tawrat Ferdousi Branding Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Whats the point of giving those levels when you will take it away every year? Please do one of those instead: 1. Don't take away levels of the contributor unless the download amount gets lower in 1 year period. Or 2. Remove levels and give flat rate to each downloads to everyone. If you don't do so, it will be big scam, where you are killing the contributors and taking money from them at the same time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Geometric Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I will go to adobe or freepik, there is a good download. With these prices, it will be completely pointless to upload new content. This is not right at all. Apparently, during the pandemic, the authorities became greedy. Do you have any idea how much it costs??? If you reset each depositor.😡 Link to post Share on other sites
