I come to conclusion, that stock is not affected by our actions.

I expect frozen sales  , but what about imagery which is stuck in QA forever?

They continue to remove 10c picture and text about their sh#tty actions from progile for the third time. Disgusting people, for sure. Put it back.
Be sure to check your own and return if needed.

I come to idea that shitter is not care about individuals [level of quality doesn't matter for them].
Their future: cheap image factories without any originality.

I can't afford to turn off my port at SS indefinitely.  I've put too much time into it.  If the big players won't cut them off, then what difference will my 2000 make?

Many people doing like you. So nothing will happen for sure.
I've disabled 2 ports 26.000 units in total.
Social media like fb and twitter utterly useless, considering the fact that they've got wild censorship and deleting/baning is a common stuff for them .
Cr#p sites for dumb ones.

It's port of russian stock pressfoto.
Casual pics nothing more, lot's of them [it is only my opinion].

But it looks like i am getting that you are saying about uselessness of boycott.

I've created this thread to accumulate different point of views and then based upon all of them make final decision.
So thank you for your opinions!

i am waiting for jul 8, if nothing will change will drop this pathetic sh#t.

They changed logo on utube channel and think that it will rebrand their sh#ty actions.
Pretty pathetic.

They begin to delete contributor icons with striked out 10c pictures and clearing description field about royalties drop.
Put everyting back, two ports.

Burn, baby burn!

It looks like the ss will go to the hands of sh#tty fb and then to instagram, amatures will sell their cats and daily life for a bout 0.05$ for a pix  or smth.

I just deleted my account yesterday.
#boycottShutterstock

P.S. Can we get this hashtag to trend on twitter?

You'd need the K-Pop fan community to make things trend on Twitter. Does anyone have any connection to someone who can mobilize that army?

Everything will be removed in a snap.
Like crappy fb blocked information regarding ss.

In terms of resolution tweaked Nokia808 over-rank all these pathetic iphones and googlephones.

I have a few photos that rank at the top of searches that I would like to disable.  However, I'm concerned about losing my ranking once the photos are enabled again.  Does anyone know what would happen?  Thanks.

Don't care.

It's time to quit Facebook too

Ive done it 4 years ago. No regrets. Typical regulator of people minds and future government.

This would be a good time for Apple to get into into stock photography (and keep those 70% commission rates).

All these corps fb, g, apple are pieces of vomit.
Can't be trusted for sure.

Ports will be shut right till jul 8.
Firmly.

No prob, i'll keeping ports shut.

Too little percent of contributors are ready to strike.
