Post by: brianholm on May 29, 2020, 14:16
In the light of recent events that Shutterstock pulled on us, maybe our reaction are being heard by SS?!?

What made you post that link? There is nothing in those posts that suggest SS is listening to anything voiced by their contributor community.

They are not hearing us or listening to us, but their outsourced customer support are actively reviewing all feedback and addressing contributor questions directly. Taking the piss is what they are doing.

As far as the post for contributors let me translate: "Deal with it. In the meantime if you'd like to let some steam off send us an email. We have a variety of prefab responses that might make you feel like we are listening. Although conveniently current technology doesn't require a human to actually read your drivel."

yes, shutterstock has bs responses that are canned.

more effective is to:

a) contact the media and tell them what a predatory company they are being in time of a crisis for most people.
b) pull your portfolio, or at the very least de-activate it.
