Shutterstock has given up on reporting detailed collection size

Who cares? Shutterstock is literally dead at this point. Why is anyone even contributing there anymore? My P5 sales are through the roof these days

it CAN'T be 'literally' dead if the site is functioning, reviewing and selling! you may not like them but tha's just your opinion.
as far as P5, why should we believe you when you don't show your portfolio or give any context. eg if you sold 1 image last month for $1 and sold another one this month for $2 you'd have a 100% increase in sales!
and Pete - your post & this one show the absurdity here - you give a long, detailed acct of why conspiracies about SS are nonsense when there are much simpler reasons (it's called Occam's Razor), compared with a driveby post with no content

Yeah, point taken. (I would say rambling rather than drive by?)
I don't disagree with Jo Ann, or others, if it looked that way. What I was trying to say, the number of images was a bad idea when they did report it, the current numbers are saying June, but we know that's not true, inaccurate and it's out of date. Also most buyers at this point, shouldn't care or don't care about "we have the most images" when it's content not count that's most important.
I thought the Alamy tag was funny. Reviews across the industry turned to a joke, agencies desperate for more content, the stupid "we have more" race, ignoring quality. I don't think reporting the count or not is anything that's important.
Uncle Pete:
Moderately related but I couldn't find any other thread that might have been on topic and I didn't want to start a new one for this one tid-bit.
From Kate:
The current limit to how much content you can submit is 100 videos and 500 images per 7 day period.
I guess that would reduce the number of new images and videos? :) Especially from people who work more, group accounts, or the image factories.
"We've found that submitting more content than this usually ends up working against you, as your content competes against itself at the top of the search results. " :o
