No prices on the web site, but this includes the entire collection - video, music, Offset images, extended licensing, editorial images, unwatermarked comps - with no monthly or daily limits for a flat monthly price.

My crystal ball has taken early retirement, but I'm guessing that this will just increase the number of 10 cent minimum royalty amounts for all levels of contributors while dropping a larger percentage of the monthly fee going into Shutterstock's pocket.

It sure isn't anything good for us :-\

yep, all 10 cent all the time - until that becomes unsustainable and it drops down to 5 cents or 2 cents or whatever they think enough of the remaining contributors will swallow.
I wonder how hard it would be to make a virus that downloaded stuff from SS on these unlimited plans. Sprinkle just enough more of your own sales into the mix and don't get too greedy and you could probably have a pretty good run.
Mantis:
"Flex subscriptions and credits are subject to some limitations. Monthly credit allotments do not roll over into the following month and will expire if not used. Any downloads made with credits are non-refundable."
And since unused credits expire each month, SS is sure to make a killing rather than revenue share with contributors.

of course, releasing a virus like that (or running an app) is a clear violation of TOS, and likely also illegal
