There's clearly some very bad things happening to Uber drivers even as customers love the service; and to neighborhoods when Airbnb is effectively operating hotels in residential neighborhoods. I'm hoping that changes will happen there, but I can't make the connection with the Stocksy model as the way to bring it about

Unfortunately, we need to be protected from each other as well. I don't think there are many other ways to do it than not inviting everyone to the party.

Possibly true, but as someone not invited, I clearly am not much motivated to support approaches that benefit others but leave me out :)

once again,at the risk of being called sour grapes by these chosen elitists, i have to agree fully
. but these new-age gen seems to enjoy being separatists,
it makes them look cool.
at best, much like those eunuchs in the forbidden city
at worst, much like that dude in ww2 with the charlie chaplin 's moustache
with his chosen few
still, not all grapes are sweet; some of the best wines are made with sour grapes too.
whatever turns them on LOL

Yeah, I'm not at the party either.

At the least, though, the article promotes the idea of member based sites. Which is something that comes up quite often.

I hope that Stocksy inspires other people. There are many flavours of stock and there is plenty of room for other co-ops serving different customers and different markets.
Right now many "traditional" agencies serving only the interests of the owners, shareholders etc. resemble parasites. But Stocksy shows that it doesn't have to be this way.
For the life of me, I can't understand all those "pros" with full-time income feeding the parasites with thousands and thousands of great images in this unsustainable model, instead of getting together and creating a better model, other co-ops, serving different customers with different images. If every agency had different images (image-exclusivity) there would be no need to compete on the price only. Non-exclusivity is the root of our problems.
