Injustice for all:

Sorry. Btw, this forum saves me more and more time, since I read it less and less. Life is outside from here, for better, or the best.

Since I already asked in the other thread on the same subject, sometimes I think something is lost in the translation and "Injustice" might be saying, there should be a acceptance limit and it should be published. Maybe not that there is some secret limit that's hidden from us? I don't know, but the last post seems to hint at that.

Simple fact is, since Microstock started, and there could be an exception, almost all agencies have had the one account per person limit. One exception was, someone could open a second group account and with others, all contribute to that. Something like Africa Studio and some others.  https://www.shutterstock.com/g/africa+studio
1,305,470 stock photos, vectors, and illustrations are available royalty-free.

Alamy, one account, many pseudonyms.

SS:
Can I share an account with someone else?

Your account may only contain your own work and cannot be shared
Per Shutterstock policy, there may only be one contributor for each account. Each account owner must wholly own full copyright to any content that they upload within their Shutterstock account.

Accounts cannot be shared between spouses or other family members. Accounts cannot be registered to the names of spouses or other family members if the content submitted is created by someone else. For example, if a husband and wife are both photographers who want to license their images with Shutterstock, they must each create a separate account. They cannot register an account just to the wife's name and submit content that was created by both of them into that portfolio.

Account ownership or payments can be shared if you have a Shutterstock business account.

Pete,thanks for understanding.

I'm not sure I do, but You Are Welcome. 

I'm still pondering the AI PNGs (or any other original format) that are traced and made into a vector, with an invisible background are not AI generated images, and somehow become something else because of the auto tracing and putting them into a different package.

I'd like to do that, but I'm never going to take the chance, especially with Adobe coming down hard on some people who have been here, with their locked account experiences.

My argument would be, if you autotrace an AI image, and make it into a vector... it's still an AI image.

And now, few months later....collection is flooded with GEN AI "vectors".
I'm quite sure that Adobe accept them deliberately.
Considering that they are not declared as AI generated and fact that they are accepted in a collection as regular vectors is spitting in a face of a vector contributors .
Shame.....

Yes, it's even scandalous. There is no longer any respect, no recognition, they wallow in greed.
New generation values... 

Didn't you guys hear that AI vectors are now allowed?

Yes I did and that's welcome as I do illustrations and not fake photos. I immediately upload all of my most recent which was two.  But I'm happy with the additional opportunity and allowance.

Go Packers...
