We hear your concern with the new earnings structure changes. The decision to make these changes was not made lightly and was done with much consideration for all of our contributors. Shutterstock aims to fairly compensate our contributors for the time and talent invested in the production of their work. [Looks like trolling] Given the market has changed significantly since Shutterstock was founded in 2003, we have made changes to better reflect the current market. SO IT'S LIKE: "With all disrespect to all of you, f#ck you! We don't care about you, your family and you will continue to contribute [i estimate over 60% of continuators], you miserable slave.

Microstock News / Good news from Shutterstock« on: March 02, 2020, 07:53 »
Last week, we emailed you about upcoming changes to the way customers can license your work.
To simplify options for our Shutterstock Premier customers, and to expand the visibility of your work, Shutterstock will be removing the Enhanced License and Sensitive Use opt-out component tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3, 2020. No action is required on your part. Starting tomorrow, your content will be licensable by all Shutterstock customers, including those who need Enhanced License usage and who intend to use your content in specific sensitive contexts. Your earnings potential from these premium license types is generally greater than from our Standard Licenses. Enhanced Licenses allow customers to use your content in high-profile projects, such as film and television, incorporation into merchandise for sale, wall art for commercial spaces, and print runs over 500,000. The concept of Sensitive Use only applies to content featuring models. Customers will be able to use your model-released content for certain potentially sensitive purposes, specifically limited to: promotion of tobacco products, implying mental or physical impairment, or use in political contexts. Customers are never permitted to use your content in a way that is defamatory, deceptive, pornographic, libelous, obscene, or illegal. Again, no action is required from you, but if you wish to make specific content on your portfolio unavailable for download, you can delete individual images by using your Catalog Manager. For more information on how customers can use your work, check out the Shutterstock License Agreement. 8

Software / With the help of what program do you keyword your media?« on: March 28, 2016, 13:37 »
I've tried many, but all of them did not impress me sufficiently. The most close case - iTag, but i costs 20$ month.
I'd like to hear your experience and your choices of keywording software. 15
