Shutterstock.com / Portfolios of 100 almost identical vectors from Bangladesh
« on: January 23, 2023, 08:10 »
Noticed a new (?) phenomenon.
Visit Signs/Symbols category: https://www.shutterstock.com/category/signs-symbols
Under "Browse signs and symbols" there are low quality simple sign vectors. When you click any of them it turns out it has HIGH popularity and SUPERSTAR designation. When you click the contributor portfolio, it has about 100 vectors looking the same. How is this not database spamming? It's bad for contributors, and for customers, who are spammed with low quality identical content.
Examples of portfolios:

Please help reporting these portfolios. They are terrible.
