On this site are people of the same profession, with approximately the same lifestyle. In fact, this site is a place where people who shoot content for stocks work and communicate. It is not constructive and not correct to suggest censoring their communication and crushing democracy. Moreover, this forum is very far from a political forum, and people who really want to professionally discuss politics will not find the right topics and interlocutors on this forum.
It's only in Russian and Belarusian forums 100% censorship and 100% lack of democracy. Everyone who is against Russia on Russian forums gets banned.
Not only that - usually they are also shot dead on sight. By Putin.

Ukrodreams, writing for the sake of writing. Keep on if you have nothing else to do. Reality is very different from your dreams.

I think it should at least be an optout for selling images to russia when shutterstock dont seem to have any problens selling.
Or maybe all images bought in russia going directly to aid Ukraine.
They are getting money out of Russia, not a bad thing for Ukraine.. As long as they don't sell Russian's imagery.
Be careful - Putin's propaganda is everywhere. Even if you are in the UK and you have a crappy roads it is him, no doubts.

The German government made another big political blunder when they decided to shutdown all their nuclear power plants, only to increase their dependency on Russian gas and oil.
That was as stupid as banning fracking.
Reopening coal power plants and validating Putin's war crimes is definitely the worst alternative: pollution is worsen and innocent people are dying.
I disagree. The political blunder the (past) German government did was not to decide to shutdown nuclear power plants and ban fraking - These were the right decisions. As long as we do not know what to do with our nuclear waste and as long as fracking poses a health and environmental risk due to toxic chemicals and water pollution these are no acceptable alternatives.
The big blunder the German government did was do decide to shutdown nuclear power plants and ban fraking, while not pushing renewable energy resources in a way that they could compensate for nuclear power and fracking.
Can you remind at what court of law was Putin convicted? Or is it your usual Zero truth statement?

Thanks to the incompetent idiots in charge, we're on our way to a recession.
I anticipate that many companies with either start downgrading or cancelling their microstock accounts from sites like SS and AS.
My SS sales has dipped in the last few weeks. Less big sales and less daily downloads.
Just brace yourselves for what's to come and stop supporting people who are economically illiterate.
More a Covid/Putin/China recession... Covid for stopping worldwide production.. Putin for raising transport costs worldwide with higher energy cost (due to war).. and China for slowing down its economy with their "Strict 0 Covid" policy..
I heard old saying, something line "large balls is always an excuse for bad dancer". Blame Putin for all, it is safe bet.

A lot of russians are leaving their country through Finland, before their country goes back to what it was during communism.. a prison !!
Awful to punish Russian people and businesses simply because of their nationality. Plenty of Russians disagree with the war, but cancel culture seems to be normal nowadays.
In the Netherlands there are stories of Russian supermarkets being harassed, Russian children bullied at school, people on the street being yelled at because they 'look or sound Russian'. In fact, a woman from Moldova was scolded for speaking Romanian (which sounded Russian to the Dutchman who yelled at her). In their misguided anger, people have lost their minds.
I can not understand: millions of Russians are fleeing "Putin's prison" to go to countries where their businesses, money and properties are going to be confiscated just because their only fault is being Russian. Where is any logic? By the way: "a lot of" - is it dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Billions? Where do you get your statistics from? Don't offer FB posts though. And, to my knowledge, Russian - Finnish border was closed for a long time, due to pandemic and has not been opened yet. How can millions flee through closed border?

This is very courageous! A very brave woman!

The sign says:
Stop the War. Don't believe the propaganda. They lie to you!
She is now arrested (obviously), "for being a good person with a mind of her own", as one of the comments said.
This is the charity I used: https://novaukraine.org/ (mentioned before in one of those blocked name-calling threads)
I understand she is shot (obviously) by Putin, hasn't she?

If anyone still wonders how the Russian 100% state-owned media is brainwashing the masses, here is an example:
https://twitter.com/wszewko/status/1501577670672457735
Comment from the Twitter OP: Please see what the host will do on the Zwiezda (Ros.) Channel when the program participant mentions that Russian soldiers are now dying in Ukraine ...
... and here is a loose translation of that exchange:
- Here we are many persons with military experience from Afghanistan, the Chechnya campaign, and Donbas. We have there even our boys from Donetsk and Lugansk and special forces who are dying now, and our country...
- No, no, no, no! I don't want to hear that! Listen to me! Wait! Stop! Listen!
- ... they die, anyway...
- Wait! Stop! You can't stop or what?
- ... I only want all of us to stand now and keep a moment of silence in their memory...
- What are you doing?
- ... a minute of silence for our boys who fight for Russia ...
- Can you stop him?
- ... and for Donbas...
- Can you stop now? I will tell you what our boys are doing. Our boys are destroying the fascist scum(?)
- ... it's correct, but...
- Let me finish. This is the triumph of the Russian army. It is the rebirth of Russia!
The only question we can ask ourselves now is what floor number that officer will accidentally fall from.
Hi all, any latest democratic practiсes updates? My chief concern is yellow star badges for Russian photographers - is 1930s design still trendy or we must look forward to something new and exclusive? A reply from our friendly colleagues from shiny freest states is highly appreciated.

I'm still getting downloads in Russia, this needs to be stopped.
I had two in Moscow today, they are breaking the sanctions on Putins Russia, this must stop.
Don't stop here. Put all Russians in concentration camps.

In Ukrania there are neonazis, in Germany there are neo-* , in Russia there are neo-*, in United States there are neo-*. Do you think because some crazy extremist minorities a country has the right to bomb and kill innocent children , women, men, many who are totally against any radicalism. You are totally out of your mind if you think the same way as the leader of Russia.
Putin will pay for his genocide. Have no doubt about it. If you ask me, it will be sooner than later. The whole world is against him.....well not the whole world. It seems North Korea, Belarus, Syria, Eritrea support him. Great partners.......
Except only in Ukraine they are killing civilians. 13.000 of them. Your evidence of the genocide? Let's say he is guilty of: Native Americans genocide, Aborigines genocide, Colonialism, WW1, WW2, atomic bombs, Vietnam, slavery. Are you good now?
If you would stop supporting the lies and stop defending the attacks on civilians with not related whatabout, you might see the truth.
Anonymous has successfully breached and leaked the database of Roskomnadzor, the Russian federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring Russian mass media, releasing to the public over 360K files.
Russia has a federal agency that controls the media and distributes the Russian government the lies. Why does Russia want to block ban Facebook and Wikipedia. Is there something in the truth that they can't tell the Russian people? Putin will be tried as a war criminal.
Just came here to check if you have already started to measure skulls to check race purity of stockers.

Well . I would not call this nazism. This word is more appropriate to bombing a Children's hospital for example.
Many people here believe Russian stock contributors or russian citizens in the west should be not responsible for what Mr Putin does. But the fact is that in times of war citizens of the enemy are blocked. If you look at history that happened with german in the allied states for a well-known reason. If the conflict escalates, more and more russian citizen will not be able to conduct business in the west. This is neither fair nor desirable, but that's one of the collateral damages that happen in war.
The best thing than can happen is that Putin goes back to mother Russia and lets Ukrainians rebuild their country. If it does not, more pain is ahead, for russian contributors and for those that are not. War has these consequences....most people loose some way or another.
"Russian photographers should be banned!" - this is pure nazism. American photographers supposed to be banned because of the war in Afghanistan? Israeli and Turkish because of the war in Syria? I guess that Russian photographers are leaders on microstock agencies and that many do not like that.
Are you talking about Afghan Children's hospital or Vietnamese? Maybe one in Yugoslavia? Libya? Please be more precise.

Yeah, because them Russian photographers have been the most vocal when it comes to pushing for war?
Yeah, I heard that Russian secret photographic group actually forced Putin into war, threatening to blind him with Godox flash.
Not because of that, but because their international earnings will be fuelling Putin's war economy, sponsoring the destruction of Ukraine, and the murdering of innocent civilians.
You don't want to be part of that, do you? I hope not.
But again, this is a moot point. Russian contributors are de-facto banned because they can't access their earnings anymore.
The same thing happened to Russians who use to make money from other American platforms, like Twitch:
"Payouts to the financial institution associated with your Twitch account have been blocked as a result of sanctions, ... Twitch complies with economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other governments, and is complying with those imposed in response to the situation in Ukraine. These sanctions may limit or impact your access to payouts, ability to monetize your stream, and/or financially support other creators."
Getting back to usual buccaneer tactics? Nothing unusual or surprising.

Naive (or provocative) questions:
Does anyone removed a low price sold clip or it is considered a "seller"?
Do you host those files in other agencies? In what pricing?
I always remove video if SS sells it for 1.50.

« on: April 06, 2019, 01:29 »
Is there any point in buying drone, 4K camera, etc. if SS pays same price for photo and 4K video? Any thoughts on how to deal with it? The only thing I can think of is to delete this file from portfolio.

Hi all, any thoughts on video clip length to sell better on SS? Or, for that matter, on any stock site? Is 10 sec for a video of still object, like a house, etc., enough? Or the longer the better?
16
« on: April 03, 2018, 17:03 »
I may miss it if there were posts on the subject. Does it help to be better indexed on SS by regularly uploading there? Or uploading as often as possible? Any thoughts are welcome.

"You have no rejected content". All files seen before disappeared.

« on: March 30, 2018, 03:26 »
Thanks, unfortunately catalog manager shows only accepted files. Rejected are nowhere to be found. New interface is extremely inconvenient for me.
19
« on: March 29, 2018, 16:30 »
Hi all, can anyone enlighten me on where rejected and approved videos are found now with latest SS interface change? Rejected shows 0 files (although I had some) and there is no approved section anymore.

Thank you all for your feedback. It seems I solved problem - I can now upload with FileZilla, thanks to pancaketom for a hint. I deleted and put in my password again and did this to all FileZilla settings. Touch wood, it works now. Nevertheless upload via website remains a huge pain.

I used FileZilla 3.20.1 to upload my videos to Shutterstock with no problems for quite some time and still do it daily. So I did with Pond however about a couple of months ago it stopped working. FileZilla properly connects to Pond and uploads file till it shows 100% and either stays without doing anything or starts uploading over again. No file arrives to Pond. I can upload via Pond website but it is less convenient (if I queue more than 10-15 files half show error or, in case of large file, it does not upload at all - error almost straight away). Pond technical support did offer any meaningful help or explanation. Any thoughts/advises or anyone had similar problems?
