SS going down the tube yes you could say that again. Pop over to the SS forum and you see the only ones who are happy are either new members or 0.25 members. I used to make payouts in half a day before December 2016 which went right down by 60% just over a night. My hunch is they are doing a last burst a sort of last stand and after thet they don't give a hoot of whats happening to the company or just let it glide along.

Adobe/Ft is in the same boat concentrating on lower end members. Started really well with the Adobe merger indjucing a sense of security and then just a few months later it was back to the old school.

Shutterstock:

Portfolio: +20%
Revenue: -2%
Downloads: -7%

For me Adobe / Fotolia increased with 40% in 2016. Someone else who experienced the same?

Ah yes^but I am still doing very well in comparison and considering. It don't stop me from seeing the mounting problems for this company. You have to be blind not to. SS like all public companies have invested and branched out into a heap of things not involving stock-sales. Think about that one and don't just stare yourself blind at stats and figures.
SS is unfortunately gaining such bad reputation at this moment not just here but in dozens of places open to the public. pretty soon like Istock they will be on the downhill slope to nowhere. Surprises me! Istock is the perfect example of how a great company can just completely and utterly fade away.

As one of the blind could you possible enlighten me as to the trouble Shutterstock are in and what are the heap of investments they have made?

Stop looking at it from an image producers point of view and go see what the real stock analysts are saying

Called diversification. Companies that don't are the ones that die fast. Check GoPro or Fitbit why value has dropped sharply. SS is doing the right way. FT added reuters. You may not like what they do, but those two companies are growing not fading.
