One more way to lose revenue? Have they put out any information on how the contributors are affected. Do we get 10c, do we get "exposure"

This is getting worse then free websites like Unsplash.

I assume Microsoft customers buy the advertisement package, image licensing included. So Microsoft would have to pay Shutterstock, and Shutterstock their contributors.
