Title: Shutterstock put ad banner in the Dashboard
Post by: PokemonMaster on September 12, 2021, 11:23
Shutterstock put ad banner in the Dashboard. I don't know what to say, dear colleagues. It's beyond my understanding.
Scroll to the end of page. It's between the Announcements and "Shutterstock & It Gets Better Project grant" blocks. I checked it in two browsers. Also I know that not everyone get it. Anyone else lucky here?

just noticed it also. Very weird to see it on the dashboard - don't think it's really a smart move from SS (and not sure if it's a very good placement of adds either)

Well, I won't see it 'cause I ain't there no more.

Sorry for the rest of you who have to put up with SS's intrusive ads on your own dashboards. Good grief.

Yeah it's been there for about a month now. I find it super weird, and just a terrible idea from SS. As if they aren't monetising contributors enough already!

We're just numbers to the current SS board. Shows how much they have respect for their contributors... sad...  :(

Meh. These days they are like a drug house while in the past they were this grand place with a great reputation. Now its all about cheesy ads and a spamed up forum. The place is a "DUMP!"☹️
