That happen with us a year or two ago. Their percentage on royalties is so slow. Don't worry about it it's a dying agency. Just pull your content.

Let's say they reverse their policy.
Would you ever be able to trust Shutterstock again? Never do business with a Robber Baron. (unscrupulous methods to get rich) 4

All the agencies will never get AI to work completely to review. Too many edge cases. One mistake with the wrong trademark or restriction and all cost save will be wiped out.

Is blackbox still on shutterstock? If they are and you are contributor. Do you have anyway to get your video out of shutterstock?
How much is your royalty on .34? 15

Shutterstock.com / Re: Is there something more to the SS royalty cut« on: June 04, 2020, 14:05 »Maybe Amazon? They seem to want to have a toe in every conceivable field. I think amazon too. Lots of other factors point to them. One thing for sure. Just like with all the previous agencies that sold to bigger agencies over the past 3 decades. Contributors won't share in the profits from the sale. 17

I would agree. Look at Jarrod Yahes, new CFO, and how many companies he's been at that were acquired.
and he was at https://zetaglobal.com/about/ before shutterstock John Sculley ex CEO at Apple. Connecting the dots. 21

I think it should of been accepted but I would be surprised if it sold once. BUT an art buyer might have that exact need for that image. I personally would crop out the bottom 2/3s
