Every design change of contributor portal in last 7 years:
"Hey, let's change the interface to make it seem easier and sleekier for 19-year-olds on iPhone."
"Sure, do you wan't to consult with experienced contributors who submit 100 images a day on professional desktop PC?"
"No, they are unimportant. Nothing is more important than iPhone user experience for 19-year-olds!"
"Say no more, fam"

My issues with new submission form introduced February 2023:
1. Terribly slow work on Uploads list. Only 10 uploads visible per page, changing page takes exactly 10 seconds for me.
2. Terribly slow load time after I click any image. It takes 9-12 seconds after I submit an image, for a new image to appear.
3. One could try to circumvent this by opening all images in fresh tabs, but new form doesn't remember your previous selection at all. So you lose your choice of licenses, Commercial/Editorial selection etc...
4. The submission form is even bigger than it was before, so I have to scroll down to find the Submit button.

When was the most recent bonus program code given in Adobe Stock, and what is its expiration date / redemption deadline? I have saved it, but I'm not sure if I should be pressured to activate it.

I don't know why Shutterstock feels the need for gimmicky changes in contributor portal layout. It's like, all layout changes in past 5 or even 10 years were made with new photographers and hobby contributors in mind. I already receive Shot List in email newsletter. Why force it on top of contributor page as well? Where are my earnings? I want my latest earnings.

Shutterstock announcement:
We will not accept content generated by AI to be directly uploaded and sold by contributors in our marketplace because its authorship cannot be attributed to an individual person consistent with the original copyright ownership required to license rights. Please see our latest guidelines here. When the work of many contributed to the creation of a single piece of AI-generated content, we want to ensure that the many are protected and compensated, not just the individual that generated the content.

Dear Contributors,
Greetings from 123RF!
Recently, we notice an increase in the submission of AI generated content.
Due to the legal uncertainties with regards to AI generated content, were getting in touch to inform you that 123RF will cease to accept all submissions created using AI generation platforms. This ruling will be applied retrospectively to content uploaded prior to this announcement.
What we will not accept into any paid collection:
Any content generated from AI generation platforms (examples include but not limited to: Dall.E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.)

incorporating copyrighted elements, parts of someone else's artwork is inevitable
AI doesn't incorporate anything.
AI learn what is and how to recreate any object (or human faces, animals... everything)
Of course there are legal problems because images used to train are copyrighted; but there is nothing that will be "incorporated" in new images
It's quite new scheme, and it cannot be managed with "classic" discussion, it's completely new issue to solve.
It doesn't incorporate elements per se. But you know how there are microstockers specializing in certain things. They have 30k photos of gold bars, or 10k vectors of starry sky. Inevitably there is a subject where half of all images online come from a successful artist. Inevitably AI will have learned from these images. Inevitably AI will "create" an artwork for something very specific like "angry baby sloth" and it will be 90% inspired by Angry Baby Sloth webcomic. AI customer will be oblivious about existence of Angry Baby Sloth webcomic, but the copyright will be infringed. Unless AI is trained on hand picked training images.

The problem with current AI is the questionable legal status of training data. It just crawls and harvests the internet, right? So, incorporating copyrighted elements, parts of someone else's artwork is inevitable.
I'm already battle hardened in copyright legal battles (as a creator whose work was infringed upon). A lot of my images are default results in Google's first pages for many keywords. Bring it on!

If you want to complain about new view, Shutterstock has a special place for this. You need to click your portfolio icon/avatar in upper right corner, and a menu comes out. There, you can click "Leave feedback". You can leave low rating, but there is also space for comments. Please leave feedback, this may help them see the problem. Here is a list of complaints to copy and paste if you don't feel like writing: 1. No sorting by file ID or date.
2. Thumbnails smaller than before.
3. Thumbnails are always square. I can't see if I sold horizontal or vertical photo.
4. Less assets visible on single page. More clicking and scrolling to see full earnings. Alternate version, not too spam them with identical text: 1. Image thumbnails are too small. They were larger in old view.
2. All thumbnails are square. I don't know which photo I sold.
3. I need SORTING by asset ID or upload date.
4. In old view I could see more thumbnails without scrolling. Why the small box in the middle? One more version: Thumbnails are too tiny and always square. They used to be bigger and now I cannot identify sold photo, because they are square and most photos are horizontal or vertical.
There is still no sorting by new, or sorting by asset ID, or sorting by upload date.
The earnings box or window that opens on the screen is too small. It shows less sold photos than before.

I got a few refunds from 11-13 years ago. Is that even legal?

They said they corrected the error. For me it seems that after adjusting the October sales, November still has the error. Or is it just low sales? How was your November compared to previous months? It was 45-50% of September and October for me.

Is it only me, or did sales suddenly decrease after October 14?
In October 15-21 I had 25% of sales compared to earlier week, and 17% of sales compared to random September week. That's an unprecedented drop.
