i have recently started uploading videos and have opted out of video data licensing on my profile. however my recently reviewed items are still being licensed for data. their contact form is not working either and i have reported this issue as well but nothing have changed. (their responses don't load when you click the link in the email and it goes to the help page and i have tried on pc and mac as well as different browsers)
how do people deal with that platform??? this all seems by design

This just means your image or video was rejected.
All rejected images go to the "Data licensing" cataloge, regardless of whether you opted in or out. If you opted out it just means your content won't be used for data licensing (or so Shutterstock claims), but it's still ends up in the cataloge, apparently only visible to you.
It also means that you cannot "fix" mistakes the content was rejected for and resubmit, because you will be told it was already approved. In my opinion that's done on purpose, because Shutterstock is trying to push you to accept data licensing as that'S the only future for Microstock companies.

SS still rejects for
- altered editorial (often incorrectly)
- ai generated (when not)
- translation needed (for ancient scripts!)
- 'quality issues'
- Non-Licensable Content (but may be accepted if re-submitted)
for the falsely accused ai, i've rec'd a case # from support which lets me re-submit - other type go back to same reviewing corps who rarely re-consider

You can get around this sort-of by temporarily opting IN to licensing. This then allows you to delete the data catalogue. Then you opt straight back out. Its flushing the toilet if you like.

I would strongly advice against this, because the 60 seconds when you are opted in is all Shutterstock needs to feed all of your images to their own AI. It negates the whole purpose of opting out. It's pobably even the sneaky reason why Shutterstock does not let you delete images without opting in in the first place.
