Over 280,000,000 royalty-free images on Shutterstock. June 26th or 27th, 2019 depending on your location.

Nothing much more to say. Another 10 million images accepted to compete with ours, 47 days.

you need not to re-open the thread again and again.. we all can see the future, you are adding more depression.

Pretty bad here, not a good month.

Same here, I uploaded the first batch where as I mentioned above invested so much time. I am stopping it now till this thing changes.
Or if they have made their mind then I wish they ask their technical team to build a tool which auto scales the EPS and create jpg of them.

Its totally unproductive, useless invention which adding more pressure to the job.

Someone received a diploma from a prestigious University and was successful in selling toilet paper, and now decided to try his hand at trading stock images. I do not want to participate in his experiments, taking a wait-and-see position.

This is pathetic, I just spent 5 continues hours to get around 100 files fixed as per their requirement.

I usually design them for months ahead and now stuck in here.
These guys are crazy.

Not updating in deepmeta..

Offtopic question, but it has connection with SS, and it's caused by "exciting" news.

If I opt out from Image sales, Footage sales, Sensitive use and Enhanced license (in SS account settings) will all my files be removed from all SS searches, including partners sites?

Thanks!

Yes, if you look at your dashboard where it says Image portfolio it will have 0 next to it. Click on it and it will say "This contributor has no active images in their portfolio."
Partner sites, who knows?  Give me a partner sight and I will have a look.

Thanks for reply! Actually, SS has easiest way to remove all files. Something good from them...

Can you explain the easiest way to remove all files from SS? I have been deleting them one by one from the catalog manager.

Email them to delete it.

What is it?

I cannot see, I am being redirected to adobe stock.

Its like talking to the wall. They don't want to listen.
They are just putting their leg in the nail.

The era of SS is coming to end now, I now see AS and Getty have good opportunity to take over this.

I got the email, didn't even notice the mistake. Well spotted.
People make mistakes though even shutterstock's people.
Although email is still my favourite form of communication, it does often seem antiquated.
Emails can't be unsent.

Or maybe its true.. wait for another month now 

Very bad day in all agencies.

What exact email you received?

Not a good month here.

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for all the comments and feedback you have provided. We understand the importance of having embedded metadata recognized during the upload process as well as the change in workflow when working with large files. We have collected all of your input and are actively working with our product and engineering teams to come up with the best path forward.

While we continue to delve into the numerous points that were brought up in your responses, we will postpone the release of the 4MP requirement and the auto generation of JPEGs from EPS files. We�ll continue working on perfecting the tools that empower and support all of our contributors, and we�ll be back with an update soon.

Thank you again for all your input and for being such an active part of our community of artists!

I am still not convinced with their response.
The point is why they want to develop the new process. Why wasting time and money on engineering team on a useless topic.

Everything is working perfectly fine, even the 15mb file was also good. Why disturbing the whole process?

They don't want to listen to contributors, nor customers. Even the employee reviews on glassdoor are bad.

I can predict the SS downfall. In coming years I am seeing Adobe Stock as the new leader.
