I love Shutterstock. Is there anybody else who appreciate the service of SS? after reading all these hateful comments, I wonder.
SS is part of my daily bread, for me and my family.

Shutterstock Is an agency that can give you good earnings, but not for love. It's business. They earn lot of Money from your work.
You can say that you thing it's a good business partner.
But love Is something very different: sometimes dangerous, in my opinion :-D

SS is a great agency. Most likely the best. Twelve years ago I made twice what I make today with less than half  the photos I have today.  I still make good money but as they say  " The old girl ant what she use to be "

I just visited your SS portfolio, W.Scott McGill. Interesting work.

You definitely do have a problem with "socialists" and "socialism," don't you?

I do not like Socialism at all. I have spent a fair amount of time in Socialist/Communist countries. The Socialist pictures do sell. The Anti Socialist sell the best. W.Scott McGill

I'm not surprised to hear of your success, W.Scott McGill. Keep flaming those hateful fires. There are certainly plenty of right-wing haters out there who will buy them, make you happy, and keep you in business.

For my part, I'm equally happy to note that peaceful images of natural places, birds and other wild critters also do sell. Non-hateful (and non-lethal) shooting and selling them also makes me happy and keeps me in business.

As an old (and now, unfortunately, deceased) friend used to say: Whatever blows your skirt up!   :D

Yep. Especially uplifting, inspiring, and unifying images like these:

Freedom of Speech.....................

You should have warped the words "Sharia law" onto the spine of the book. There's some filter or other to do that. It looks weird having the words flat and the spine curved. Just sayin. Also, the book of sharia law is usually called The Noble Qur'an and I've never seen one with a pictorial cover.  I'm surprised the large capitalist brain seems unaware of those things, or perhaps it's just not large enough to hold information about other cultures.
Oh, and while I think of it, I have a suspicion that your Green New Deal image should say "Democrats" not "Democrates".

I think most of the "hateful" comments are frustration that these days Shutterstock seem to be very poorly managed. They remain my best earner but I wish they could get back to getting the basics right so they can stay that way.

Most likely to be used by Islamophobes as Hate Speech*.
Both of which are rightly illegal in the UK (and no doubt other places).

*even though badly thought out and badly executed (as Baldrick pointed out), the sort of people who are likely to use this image wouldn't have the intelligence to know any better. Still, maybe they don't do anything legal, like have an account at SS.

I only love God,my family and neighbor. Because a company give you money for sell your content. It's a relationship win to win. Only business, there is no love. But it's your way of thinking, is respected. This is just my opinion.

I can't think of any truly socialist or communist country, all of them are just abusing the idea, just like capitalism, only even smaller minority benefits.

This morning I love Shutterstock because I woke up to a $100 sale.  Friday I hated Shutterstock because I only made  $6.  Last month on the 15th I loved Shutterstock because I has a $125 day and a nice $67 royalty on a crummy image.  In July I hated Shutterstock because my month was only $400 and change, or half of what I usually make. But in July I also loved Shutterstock on the 27th because I got a $96 video sale.  Earlier in the year on March 16th, I really loved Shutterstock because I made $126 on one animated video, but the next day I hated them because I only made $12.

Love:  :D
Hate:  :'(

It comes and goes in this business.
