SS probably separated his long phrases into separate keywords at one point.

"young single businessperson speaking cheerfully on wireless device,"
Is that a keyword??

I've noticed that the keywords are often shown in English and Russian (that's my native language), adding different Russian meanings of original English keywords, even very funny ones. The total number is far more than 50 in this case.

Post by: nazlisart on April 18, 2017, 15:59: I'm curious; does this make these images more discoverable?
I think Adobe/Fotolia suggests that it is more efficient/discoverable to have 30 keywords in spite the fact they allow 50...

Post by: leremy on April 18, 2017, 21:15: Just did a test.

https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=30s+day+light+hunk&search_source=base_search_form&language=en&page=1&sort=newest&image_type=all&safe=true (https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=30s+day+light+hunk&search_source=base_search_form&language=en&page=1&sort=newest&image_type=all&safe=true)

So, the image is discoverable regardless of any kind keyword combinations you use. This is really taking a big advantage over honest contributors since that particular image has over 200 keywords that is search-able.

This is a new kind of spamming technique. SS needs to control this before it become another spamming saga.

That was fixed a long time ago. Phrases stay as you write them, last I checked.
