OK so you win nothing except the right to say you won and if you want... "I told you so". If people want to add a prize on their own, that's nice.

But come on - Wanna Play A Game?

Closest to the official time announced by SS, 20,000,000 on the home page of SS.

Here's my pick. Feb 27th  8:00 AM


20 Million!

Oh darn I did days not weeks when I did my first calculation.

July 14th, 2012 8AM (yeah that's the ticket 7-14...)

No wait, I was basing that on the "weekly total, which is actually a seven day total, for the last seven days, not a weekly total. If that makes no sense. They add 74,000 in a week, but the next day it might say, 75,000 added this week, and the next day, 80,000 added this week. It's daily - not weekly!

74,576 new stock photos added this week -

Revised estimate is now August 1st, 2012. (so basically I'm taking the under and Luis has the over?  8) )

thats too soon.. not even 18 million now :D

August 5th


March 17th Midnight my time = 18,562,276 royalty-free stock photos / 74,625 new stock photos added this week

Not if we pay the ransom to Dr. Evil?  :D

And we wonder why sales are down. You have it. Images are being uploaded into a black hole of sorts. (don't anyone jump, SS is my favorite agency!)

Not so many - wouldn't even be an image for each person living in one something like 20 cities ...

17,863,136 currently 92,198 added this week means in approx 1.5 weeks it will hit 18,000,000 images leaving 2,000,000 more to go-

So that is an average taking all things into consideration of approx 90,000 per week give or take here or there.

So that would be approx twenty three weeks from now give or take.

So i would care to guess around July 4th 2012 @ 9:00pm EST.

I'd say there must have been a sudden gajillion percent increase in activity at SS, judging by RacePhoto's needle now pointing to the max.  If that math is correct, I'd say we'd hit the number in 1982.  ;)

There is no SS meter, only FT and IS. Unless I make one again?  ;D I have more fun with my "somewhat normal" avatars.

Just found this by accident. Might be interesting may be just stupid.

Latest file accepted for me at SS:

Image ID: 97768964

http://www.shutterstock.com/pic.mhtml?id=97768964



It's not the fact that it's a double cheeseburger isolated on black on a small plate, (or that I was surprised it was accepted...) but that, the file number is 97768964

Roughing out the numbers, 19% of the 97 million images, have been submitted / processed and accepted? 19%? Or for the flip side, 80% of the images submitted have been rejected or removed.

There is no 100,000,000 but this on would be the closest? Also interesting is that these "grunge stamps" are as common as oak leaves in the forest. (22,917 of them)

What was interesting to me was 100 Million image numbers and approaching 20 million online. Does that mean 80% rejected or removed?

dont know but when we upload a batch files are not sequential, they are like 3, 6, 9, 11 etc (the last number)


Yes Luis it is every third number as far as I can tell, but I can't be absolutely positive. I agree with you. (prequote reply)  :D



The next image is 100,000,004

In which case, if this is true and always has been true, numbers used would be 33,333,333 and figuring at 19,100,879 royalty-free stock photos (rough numbers) the acceptance rate, all time is 57.8% on SS.

I haven't gone back to see if the numbering changed, just going by what appears to be the rule now.

OK so I was closer before and now that I edited for my mistaken calculations and data, I'm even more wrong? LOL

Well whatever. It's interesting and if you are right, we are looking at 7000 photos a day (where I went wrong before looking at "per week") so around 10 or 11 days.

What happens, does a party popper go off, some balloons go up, SS goes public... or what?

It happened quietly (so far)

SHUTTERSTOCK STATS:
20,002,926 royalty-free stock images / 100,928 new stock images added this week

Waiting for the image to go active whether it's 20000000 or 20000004 ?

Here's their twitter post as well.  I'm not sure whether to congratulate them or not?  That's a lot of competition for my images :)
