The shark was jumped when the + - hearts thing was put in, I think that really pushed this place into something else.  It's not about stock or photography anymore it's about making comments that will get lots of likes.  Something should be done to try to bring back the professionals but that ship may have sailed long ago.

That and some Protrolls who will intimidate and silence anybody who doesn't feel their pain and misery and complain about how we are poor helpless victims of the machine. Nobody is forcing any of us to work Microstock for a living. We can leave any time. We are not indentured slaves. If you aren't happy, go do something else. If you stay and work for agencies, then it's your own choice. Unhappy anonymous people forcing their views on everybody here.

Allowing anonymous Protrolls and fake professionals who won't stand back of what they write, is what ruined the forums of MSG.

I find the tone and content here to have lost it's original meaning. It's not about the work, art or sharing. It's just about getting +, ego feeding bragging, disagreeing and spreading fear and loathing or the agencies or competition. It'
s gone from a friendly forum to a hate forum. Protrolls you have won.
