It looks like you don't listen and even cant read plain English.
I am out of this monologue.

It looks like you no nothing about autocratic regimes and about the life of generic people who have no rights at all. Your conclusions are very simplified and grounded.

In the second paragraph, I talked about seizing the assets of putin's associates who successfully keep billions in American and European banks. This is not happening in sufficient volume.

America and Europe fed this insane cannibal themselves, and these are the consequences now.
and the oil continues to be bought from him. Think this through.

Yeah, stoker2014 has quite ignorant and primitive point of view.
When you are living under a totalitarian regime, you don't have any voice to express your opinion on situation.

Instead of pressing plain people arrest autocratic realty and their offshore assests, that will be way more effective. Strange thing that it is not happening on a proper scale.

Just got this:
Earlier this week you may have received an email from Shutterstock informing you that your unclaimed earnings need to be collected, otherwise they are at risk of being transferred to the state of Delaware. Please disregard that email, you should not have received that communication.

We are aware that as an artist who resides in Russia or Belarus, your options for receiving payments are extremely limited at this time. Your earnings can continue to accrue with Shutterstock until viable options for receiving payment from Shutterstock become available in your country.

We apologize for any confusion our original communication may have caused and appreciate your understanding

No bigstock mention, i've asked ss support.

Hi Shutterstock Artist,You have earnings in your account! If this amount is not claimed as soon as possible, your unclaimed earnings are at risk of being transferred to the state of Delaware, US.Take a moment to log in and collect the money you have earned!

All text linked to the link, email sender:
Shutterstock <[email protected]>
looks like fishing.

Your thoughts on this mockery?
Or it is the raving reality of insane 2024?

I am banned too, profile name: spacedrone808
Support tickets #00317361, #00314971.
Signed appeal form through vpn (using normal network connection i was faced access denied).
Signed petition, because support is not answering what to do in my case, only auto replies and template answers leading to nowhere.

tried to contact Adobe on all possible platforms to no avail.
twitter, instagram, tiktok, discord, forum, support tickets, on site webchat.

i ve managed to reach appeal form page by means of vpn service , otherwise i was shown permission denied error.

Another Update: I got my account back. Instead, use this link: https://www.adobe.com/trust/transparency.html.
Once again, thanks to everyone!

Glad your case was resolved, i have worse situation, appeal form is blocked for me, so i can't do anything

Quote from: Tay on September 26, 2024, 22:18
Eh, great, I contacted Matt via email, wrote to support, and honestly, I don't know what to do next. I'm curious if I will get the payout I requested 1.5 weeks ago

Payout? People can't even see their money anymore, it reminds me of an autocratic regime.

Do these online petitions make any sense?

appeal form is blocked in my country.
adobe is like "shut the #### you misirable #######"
shitterstock petitions lead to nothing, so i highly doubt.

Hi Everyone
Stay creative!

Mat Hayward

Congrats on promotion.

Perhaps you can influence the current state of affairs with the accounts that have been brutally banned without any warnings and do something about almost complete lack of communication with contributors. My account was banned a week ago with over 3000usd of unpaid earnings. No warnings, i'm just faced with the fact that i cant access my money anymore. Chat support is endless, incoherent loop of transfers, with tons of the same questions asked over and over again, without giving a transparent answer, support tickets are answered (in best case) in a copy-paste inhuman way. It is crystal clear that the aim of these auto-answers is not to solve the problem of contributors, just to keep the distance from them. i was unable to receive any explanation of what happened to my profile.

i am not using any kind of image generation AI, do not mess with ceo optimisations of my profile and not envoled in any financial fraud!

This is a complete disrespect to long time contributors, level of shutterstock i would say.
Oh, God, it feels like begging.
Take a note if you can.

Adobe takes a very long time to transfer money to authors. This is not normal!

It is not the main problem, the main one is that they ban long time contributors with cheap automatic script, without any notification and not replying to contributor requests in a proper way.

Quote from: rod-09 on August 01, 2024, 08:15
I Will send you an email then.

were you able to restore account? How long does it took?
What was the reason of a ban?

Quote from: gnirtS on September 23, 2024, 13:30
I wonder if its due to Adobe polgetting an account suspended for any reason deserves to be told the full, detailed reason as to why.  They arent doing that.

I even haven't received any email notification, although they are claming that they did.

Quote from: gnirtS on September 23, 2024, 13:30
I wonder if its due to Adobe policy of no further sales or services in Russia.  Even if it is, they really should tell you the reason.

If so, US government and Adobe are targeting wrong focus group. US should kick out all autocratic relatives back to Russia with subsequent seizure of their all US/Europe based property, way more effective. my free hint to them.

Hi all contributors,

I'm starting a petition against Adobe Stock for their unfair treatment of contributor relations. They've removed contributor support from the main website(they send only auto template email), leaving us with only this survey link (https://survey.adobe.com/jfe/form/SV_74fM1z4DvUPyPlk) where no one actually addresses our cases. This situation is unacceptable and may even be illegal.

My account is blocked with more then 3000usd of earnings. I do not use any AI trickery.
Link to appeal form is blocked, chat is switching between operators with no answer, copy-paste template "answers" in tickets. They simply dont care.

i wish you the best with petition project, but hate to regret you that you won't change vector of movement of huge corporation which simply dont care about contributors even for old timers.
greed.

My account was blocked a couple of days ago.
>20000 images, over 3000usd of unpaid earnings.
I am not using AI to generate images.

Attempting to contact support
I was given a generic link to information something like "blocked for failure to comply with accepted standards".
How can I understand what exactly I have violated having thousands of images in my profile?

In the body of the informing page I was shown a link leading to information on how to get out of the situation.
I am in the Russia region, so the US site suggested to go to a localized one, but there I did not find a link to appeal form.
The English link gave me: access denied. "You don't have permission to access https://survey.adobe.com/jfe/form/...."

Trying to contact the chat for support did not lead to anything either,
as I was switched three times between operators, each of them asked the same questions and i had to explain my problem from scratch,
eventually all operators left the chat without solving the issue and the session was closed.

Currently i didn't receive any transparent answers from adobe.
It is important to note that i don't support bloodshed and war crimes of my country.
I'm quite shocked and it looks like it will be final breaking point in my microstock history.

it looks like their server is down from beginning of the year.

Oh, my God! You still uploading to this abomination. Forget about this site.

Guys, this is my last message on the forum.
Wish you all maximum luck & not to run into greedy people!
Chaching!!

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

I was going to lay back and enjoy this forum as a reader instead of a poster but after reading your post I wanted to give an update of my view on the current situation.

You are right about the stock market not being affected at all by our actions.
Too many contributors are still ok with this change. They complain but are still uploading while others that can afford to deactivate their portfolio don't. This will never work anyway if they can continue to sell our work so even though it's impossible for many of us our portfolio's should be in fact be deactivated because stopping uploads isn't going to change much. Their buyers don't seem to have any intention to shop elsewhere and that is because they can still get what they want with so much on offer.

Then we have other agencies who do not seem to be eager to take their place. My best sellers at SS (with one over 9k downloads) are now dead since they never took off at other agencies and it looks like they never will.
I have picked up a lot on uploading to Adobe but they don't move an inch so I don't think Adobe is the solution. This seems to be the case for many others btw. I was a bit overenthousiastic about Adobe in the past. This is also probably the reason Mat still has a port on SS. Adobe is not a performer, on the contrary they seem to be going down after deactivating my portfolio at SS. It's as if the competition is afraid of SS and hey, maybe they are!

....

Good luck to all my fellow contributors!

Thanks, for sharing your thoughts.
Agree that Adobe will not save us: they just another exploiter.

So i come to my final decision:
- enable my port at JUL 8
- delete all valuable stuff
- will not upload nothing new (forever)
- allow to flow fading income till it stops at some point
- delete ss bookmark
- forget about all this mess

I think that such scheme is pretty optimal.
