I might be just plain wrong - but take a look at this:

What's the deal?

I believe they have purchased from other contributors  ;D It is impossible to produce so many clips, quality clips as i can see.

You searched RawFilms and those are the results from the search. What deal, what joke..

I found my own files under this RawFilms account.... another hidden "conspiracy" thing from Shutterstock? Or are a bunch of stolen files?? Or they earn money via our files through the fake account and then just give real authors crumbs of earnings.

This contributor RawFilms doesn't exist, so search results display footage from everybody instead - no conspiracy here.

So what's the catch then?

You are not seeing what you think you are.  Not quite sure what is going on, but I put in "Blackbox" as the contributor and get the exact same number of clips and the exact same clips.

I don't think the search is working properly.

It doesn't take much time to visit the front page and see that the total number of clips is 13 million... The great mystery has been solved!
