Title: You can download any high-res image from shutterstock via facebook ads
Post by: spike on March 20, 2017, 09:18
I searched "shutterstock" on youtube and found this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D03SazcKDqI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D03SazcKDqI)

Apparently, you can download any image you want. High res, no watermark, all free.

I didn't notify shutterstock yet (time constraints, just posting this here for info), but if someone wants to, it'd be good if they fixed this hack.

This is not any gem. you should not post such direct links, I have immediately reported it to youtube for removal.

I was being ironic. No one reasonable from MSG thinks it's a real gem.

And reporting to youtube isn't gonna do anything. There are loads of similar "hack" videos in the related tab, so even if yt removes this one (which I doubt), there are many which show the same hack. Also, you're forgetting things like warez and hack forums, usenet, IRC, other websites.

It's much more reasonable to ask shutterstock to fix this, then go after hundreds upon hundreds of websites and alternative channels. The only way to fix it is for shutterstock (and facebook) to fix it, youtube has nothing to do with this, and isn't a long term solution.

It is true, even if YouTube removes the video, it won't stop this...
