Amount of sales increased because other people are disabling their ports

Pure speculation

I stopped uploading new images. I will wait until the end of the month to have more accurate data. However, I noticed an absurd drop in sales. And the sales that are still happening, are from subscriptions 0.10. If it continues... by the end of the month I will disable my images. Sales are not increasing, they are falling. 

I am unaware of any reason for your sales to increase and in fact think by the end of the month you may get trampled in the great angry rush to disable portfolios.

ROFLMAO - the tiny decrease in files hardly affects my sales, which remain at the lvl as before this 'boycott'

In my case, earning drops are not very severe, June will probably be below average month but it does not seem tragical so far. Average price per image dropped a lot but the amount of sales increased. Nevertheless, there is still small amount of data to do better conclusions. Have not disabled whole portfolio but will disable videos at first (considering images as well).

Let me guess, you cant wait for the January, when you can tell everyone that your earnings are doubled?

I noticed that while we are protesting against injustice on the part of Shutterstock, there are people who continue to upload their images to Shutterstock. They couldn't even wait a month? Are they really nuts? And if the Second World War were going on, whose side would they be on?..

You know, some people like to get tied up and then get whipped with a cat o' nine tails...

Yup also sad but true, prostitutes seem to have more moral then these people but then this is Microstock so it doesn't surprise me in the least.
Don't worry the protest group is expanding as well and I think more images are being deactivated then uploaded, well that is if you take out the spam first!

Almost as bad as if you upload to SS you are a slave. 🙄

Well, if someone trying to make profit on people, who decided to starve in protest... You name it.

I turned off my portfolio with 500 photos at Shutterstock... and I switched to Adobe to purchase my photos.I calculated that I spent $2,200 purchasing photo through them over the years.

I'm also going to recommend my clients to not buy from SS.

Stock Submitter Coalition decided to continue boycott up to 1 July.

The reason is Shutterstock (NYSE:SSTK) ends its fiscal 2nd quarter 30 June 2020
They will have to publish some metrics. They will have to show the base decrease if we were good. If our blackout will be not enough, they will show the base growth decrease anyway. As far as I know, base growth was never decreased before. That's why we continue the boycott.

For those who can't hold any longer, I ask you to act again. Disable the portfolios for 27-30 June. So we can drop the base growth and became visible for the shareholders. There will be a weekend, so I hope you will not lose much sales.

Images deleted. #boycottShutterstock

You'd need the K-Pop fan community to make things trend on Twitter. Does anyone have any connection to someone who can mobilize that army?
