I crossed my mind, that they could disable those buttons, I think every but must act ASAP.

If they deactivate these buttons, it will not be possible to reactivate the portfolios

Don't care.

I'm in. 44000 images portfolio. Videos (2000) are already disabled and will stay that way.

I've got some reports from Russian community that opting out currently unavailable.

There is a suggestion to strike today, because fat ones could remove this option in nearest future. What do you think?

I've placed only the name of the site, no links.
You care about TOS? You know... F#CK it!

Yeah, yeah. I'm in, I am disabling on 15-21. But I am not ready to F#CK the TOS yet. I prefer to quit by my own will, then get banned. And there's a lot of people like me. You setting them up. If you want to keep the line 4, add a warning.

Fixed things up.

Keeping the thread up. We must do it.

My best at ShitterStuck: 0.10$

Upload halted.
Will disable ~15200 pix and small amount of abstract videos.

Russian speaking contributors are planning to disable their portfolios during 15-21 Jun period [and maybe even month period, tbd].
SO JOIN THE EFFORT, IF YOU DARE. STOP BEING SILENT SLAVES!

1] Stop uploading
2] Disable Image/Video sales during 15-21 Jun period or more, tbd -> Go to Account Settings, disable sales [see pic below]
3] Change your image avatar at stock site and their forum
4] Change description of your profile to smth: "Since June 2020, after huge royalties drop for contributors I have disabled my portfolio & will not continue until roayties will be reconsidered"
5] Remove all shutterstock related links from your sites, blogs, whatever
6] Spread info at social media
7] Downvote all their products, videos, applications on any marketplace
8] If you have contact with buyers, deliver this info to them, convince them to switch the stock
9] Upvote my post
10] Do i mention don't upload & deactivate your portfolio?

To prevent denial of service, when opting out on 15th,  i recommend not to do this simultaneously to smooth things out. Eg. Choose 12, 13, 14 or smth

LAST RESORT:
1] Put a direct link to your portfolio on rival microstock site [this action violates TOS]
2] Completely delete all images & profile

OFFICIAL SS REPLY TO PETITION: https://www.change.org/p/shutterstock-object-to-the-decline-in-shutterstock-s-contributor-earnings:
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We hear your concern with the new earnings structure changes.
The decision to make these changes was not made lightly and was done with much consideration for all of our contributors.
Shutterstock aims to fairly compensate our contributors for the time and talent invested in the production of their work. [Looks like trolling]
Given the market has changed significantly since Shutterstock was founded in 2003, we have made changes to better reflect the current market.

SO IT'S LIKE:
"With all disrespect to all of you, f#ck you! We don't care about you, your family and you will continue to contribute [i estimate over 60% of continuators], you miserable slave. Live with it, piece of crap"

Removed all links to ShitterStuck portfolio.
Removed all shitstuck related sites from my microstock database.

Topic pretty irrelevant now, especially considering latest royalties drop.
Any topic is irrelevant.
