The websites of Shutterstock and Bigstock do not work (for contributors and buyers), at least not from the Netherlands.

It looks like a load issue - things are timing out.  Sometimes it works, often things dont.

So far
- the dashboard accepted/pending thing doesnt work
- the keyword suggestion doesnt work
- FTP doesnt work

...and from a buyers side:-

- search times out
- contributors galleries dont work

They've managed to break both buyer AND contributor stuff at the same time.

I guess their exponential expansion due to the "accept everything" policy is starting to catch up with their creaky infrastructure and coding.

One of their moves was to limit files pixel dimensions to 150M, although many other agencies keep it at 250m, because the files from the newer full frame cameras are larger than 150M by default, and then you don't have to downsize them. It is very frustrating to downsize each picture, just because they can't keep up with the standards for modern cameras and the storage space needed for that.

When you stop quality controlling submitted images and your goal is to be the "biggest" you end up with over a million images a week being added.
That's going to kill your infrastructure rapidly regardless of switching to AWS or other systems.

"MORE MORE MORE" is possibly good from a shareholder point of view but really bad from an IT management point of view!

Got a sale from Kazakhstan so at least its not a zero day.

I uploaded a video and it got processed, keyworded and now in pending.  Ive also submitted the 70 photos i had waiting.

FTP seems to work.

Keyword suggestion still doesn't  - it loads but cant find any search results.

My opinion is as they are audited accounts and Oringer could go to prison for a very long time if they were fraudulent they are most likely correct. As has been said over and over again new supply far outstrips demand therefore most contributors will lose out. Its really that simple.

I think the explanation is that for a company once described by its owner as an "IT business" they are not very good at IT. They have mountains of cash....the profitability is of course at contributors expense.

A manhole fire IS an IT issue.
It means they have absolutely no effective backup or redundancy planning and the whole thing relies on a single point of failure.

They also said that was completely fixed yesterday.

Yes, they should have a backup plan for such incidents, lets hope they take this seriously and add some alternative measures for such happenings.

It was fixed yesterday (maybe temporary) but its again today.

Is anyone else experiencing a very long wait to get their submissions reviewed? If anyone from Shutterstock is reading this, can you please let me know what's going on? This doesn't inspire confidence in Shutterstock.

As to Shutterstock reading this well forget it and even if they do they don't give a rats ass what you, I or any other contributor say or think.

Wow. You mean all that crying and complaining that certain people were doing was actually about something real? I guess crossing fingers and wishing hard didnt make the problems go away after all. Its just easier to attack them rather than stand united against a company thats screwing you with your own property to make profits for themselves.

Supply is outstripping demand at Shutterstock because they made it so. I believe they opened the gates to anyone to desperately inflate their library and make as much money as they could for themselves before the stock photo market totally collapses. This is why sales are down everywhere:

https://unsplash.com/ (https://unsplash.com/)

Decent quality photos for completely free. Multiple sites are out there like this and they are growing fast. Web traffic stats show free sites getting constant high growth while most micro sites are falling. Shutterstock web traffic shows an increase but I'm sure thats the flood of new amateur contributor traffic and not paying customers.
Sites like Unsplash have convinced tons of naive photographers to give their portfolios away for free so they could stick the word free on the front page and generate mountains of traffic for themselves, starving out the existing market. This new trend does nothing but train consumers that our images have no value and that they DESERVE our images for free... even for commercial use. Why would they pay anything for images now?
There are tons of unaddressed legal issues at these sites that will create problems for them in the future such as the lack of releases but its pretty tough to compete with free in the minds of consumers. I believe the only course of action to take is to draw a line in the sand and that line is quality. Let the garbage images be free and the consumers will tire of it and will pay for quality again. Thats Shutterstocks mistake. They prioritize the garbage over the quality.

The ironic part is that all of this happened because contributors allowed it to. Its our property. Its our photos that make these sites even possible. Contributors chose to follow Shutterstocks poor choices and stick their head in the sand. What would happen to Shutterstock if contributors stood up to them and said no. What if contributors united together and opted out of sales on their portfolios in protest? They cant ignore their store literally shrinking. They cant ignore that loss of sales, especially under these conditions. Its our images that make all of this even possible.

I am now getting reviews in about 30 hours, vs the 2 hours I was getting up to a week ago.  Still plenty fast. A year from now, I will not remember that it took an extra day at the front.  Not sure why people get so freaked out over minor delays in getting images up that will presumably be selling for years...?

OTOH, BigStock is my biggest problem. Not from delays, but from major bugs in their web submission.  If you select more than one image, then ONLY set the category, the buggy site changes EVERYTHING to match.  You end up with the same title, description, keywords. Everything!

They have known about this bug for at least 4 months, which is when tech support told me they knew about it and were "working to fix it."  They told me the workaround was to only submit one image at a time.

Yeah, right. I have roughly 1000 images to upload to them, and they want me to do one at a time because they are too sloppy to fix such an obvious and major bug in 4 months???  No, thank you.  BS simply hasn't gotten anything from me in that time, and from the looks of it, may never again. :(

I hope this answers to why people are submitting to SS or other paid platforms and not to the free ones.
