I have received nothing from them nor have I been able to locate tax forms on my dashboard.

Disabled my portfolio on Shutterstock.

My initial application was rejected, I was subsequently invited and accepted.  Their contract terms do not mention that their minimum payout is $500.00.  This is more than double of any rights-managed, macro or micro agency that I know of.  They are reinventing the wheel with their submission process excel sheet, renaming of image files and release files, you must request an upload link for every submission.  Every inquiry is returned with  a response that seems computer generated or english as a second language.  Their edit of captions and keywords for accepted images also reflect a computer generated or english as a second language feel.  Anyone else have these experiences?

Its always an ego check browsing through an agency collection and seeing average to poor images, in technical and creative quality, what started out as a good platform for unique images seems to be turning into just another agency with millions of images to wade through to find a decent photo.

good idea i think. We should have a task list for D-Day candidates. Somthing like that:

1. call of contributors to write the agency with timely response
2. Embed third parties like TRUSTe / national supervisory authorities, etc.
3. draw attention in social media web blogs etc.
4. d-day exclaim.
5. make the agency in the google search results invisible with targeted adsense clicks.
6. inform the buyer and make the situation carefully and give them fair alternative agencies.
7. thinking about a jointly funded suit

organization is all... ;D



I've written to the agency.  The royalty is unfairly low.

I'm an independent.  Searching "rock climb", 5 of my images are in the top 80 when sorting by Downloads , up until this week these and more appeared in the first 200 Best Match sort results.  This current Best Match shift has buried them very, very deep in the results.
