I opted myself out by deleting all my footage. I feel fresh and clean and like I still have a tiny bit of self respect left.

One of the best, easiest and healthiest things you can do for the planet and yourself is to cut back on meat and dairy. If we cut our consumption of meat and dairy by 50% we'd exceed our goals for reducing emissions. That would take us back to the amount we were eating 50 years ago. Animal agriculture is a main driver of climate change, deforestation and mass extinction.

The vast majority of scientists agree on climate change. They may have minor disagreements about the messaging around it, but it�s disingenuous for conservatives to use these minor disagreements as some sort of evidence that climate change isn�t occurring.

The rest of your post amounts to confusion about special interests paying for �scientific� studies that �prove� the food they make a profit on is not unhealthy. One egg study, for example, was conducted on a small population of undernourished, underweight kids in Central America who had one egg a day added to their poor diets (along with other dietary changes). The added calories led to weight gain....no susprise there. And there was another study conducted on people whose cholesterol intake was already so high it was off the charts, and when an egg a day was added to their diets it made no measurable differences in cholesterol levels because their levels were already so high.
And of course media outlets need clicks and eyeballs, so they breathlessly report misinterpreted results of studies paid for by people selling you something.

I�ve seen Facebook posts from them over the last few days claiming that they�re working on fixing the site...so the buyer side is affected as well.

Where do you go to do reverse image search? I usually use tineye, but it misses a lot of stuff.

Ha ha ha ha the new campaign was created �with the help of� my old boss�s new ad agency. OMG hilarious.

1. Hit the wall. 2. I believe when Shutterstock lowered their acceptance standards they simultaneously changed the search algorithm to favor older files, because they knew they were accepting millions of cr@p images and didn�t want to horrify buyers. 3. Yes, too many similars uploaded at once.

I guess I am the odd man out , but I have images on Onepixel. I get sells almost everyday and now have got some EL sales which are 28.00 each. Maybe I get screwed down the road but for now a sale is a sale.

There will always be scabs. I hope OnePixel dies a quick yet painful death.

His portfolio on shutterstock has one photo in it....of a waterfall. No bridge. So did he delete this photo but upload another one? The story seems fishy to me too.

Funny. Very well done.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

"In 2000, Ray founded DVArchive.com, an internet based stock footage library with the intent of making the imagery from his extensive travels available to a wide variety of film and media producers.

Ray�s imagery of the world is now carried by most of the world�s major stock footage libraries including Shutterstock, Pond5 and Adobe Stock."
