I would say about 90% in my case. It has drastically decreased month by month for the last year. I think people just do not continue their subscriptions. My wife works in a big company that always had a subscription to Shutterstock, but about a month ago they just canceled it.

Would of been interesting to hear the company's reason. As a large customer (and probably one among a number of organisations to not renew their subscription) they were probably downloading hundreds to thousands of contents each month. Shutterstock shooting itself in the foot again... well both feet actually, one foot being the contributor and the other foot being the customer.

They have lost their position since Oringer moved (or removed) himself from CEO position.
The new management doesn't seems to have a good management skills. They neither want to think for contributors nor customers.

Its a ship with a hole and needs a immediate fix.
