Just deleted the five hundred I planned to plus 300 more (hey, when you're on a roll... ;) ).  Total deleted today 800.  Total of my images deleted since this Getty Google deal - 1009.

Hi I have deactivated 360 so far. I want to do hundreds more but can't find the list of things you can display. I have installed greasemonkey, went to the Istock my uploads page but no 'my uploads options'. What do I do wrong?
Thanks

Sean's script runs on greasemonkey, but it isn't included in it.  You need to go here to download his script:

So this is the thread for totals! Adapted from my post in the others:

Last night I deactivated images totaling (with the test images I did a few days ago) 2496 leaving a grand total of 153 editorial and iStockalypse images in my portfolio. I removed all my vectors back in September 2011 (to keep them off Thinkstock) so I won't count those in this D-Day total

Thank heavens for Sean's greasemonkey script - it has turned an excruciating job into a merely painful one. Thanks Sean.

20-30 seems like the "symbolic gesture of support" level, so I've dumped 30 files.

I'm going for 100 deactivations today

One token deactivation held until today to add to my 24 deactivated earlier.
That's as far as I'm going just now; no commitment not to deactivate more at a later date.

Shame on me, for now I only deactivated 3 images today. Low/no sellers for a start.
I have only a tiny port there, stopped uploading quite a while ago anyway.

This is all so sad. Seven years ago I loved iStock so much. It added a new quality to my life. So joyful. Then all the known nuisances occured, one after another, and now the Google deal. This time they/Getty went too far!
How could they do this? I am speechless.

Leaf asked to put our numbers in this thread, so I'll repeat it here :   I deactivated 1052 this morning, so I did 552 more than listed (got carried away).

It's easy to get carried away, right?   Good old Sean made it a breeze.  ;D

He deserves a statue.
Without that script, I would have quit after 50 deactivations ...

gostwyck

A few more from me making 170+ deactivations. Time to go to the pub!

103 total deactivations.  More possible in the future as I continue to reassess my business relationship with iStock.

70 deactivated out of my tiny portfolio of 71.
