Still seeing lots of folks not wearing masks. It's such a simple thing. And it helps not spread the virus? Why would you not wear a mask? Please!!!!!

Poor Alex.
While I look at my sales for today at once mighty / now turdy #shutterstock, I can' help but think that with these pathetic earnings I can't afford a pudding, caipirinha nor a glass of wine..let alone traveling to any of these places! #boycottshutterstock #microstock #sosad

I so resist (and very much dislike) writers calling general photography "tips"...."hacks"? Hacks? Really? WTF? Do they pick this up in journalism school, on Zoom:) Please stop using!!!!

Just when veteran contributors are either #boycottshutterstock / outright pulling their ports from @Shutterstock , thieves are happily uploading blatantly stolen content from likes of @unsplash . Here's an example SS happily accepts them (check out the "caption") @PeteWright

I’ve been contributing to @shutterstock for 9 years, working hard to reach the highest royalty tier! It was my best agency... and yesterday my earnings got cut over 70%... I may have to give it up😥... this hurts hard. #boycottshutterstock

Alex's final report from a period we may refer to as the good old days.
Welcome back to another detailed monthly report during these increasingly strange times! Last report before the new Shutterstock schedule and will serve as a good benchmark to see just how far earnings will drop from June and then again from January 2021 brutallyhonestmicrostock.com…

I wonder what it feels like working for shutterstock now. I'm sure there must be some good people there, who feel sad seeing their company being berated on the Internet. Maybe they will consult with #istock staff on how to deal with it. #shutterstock #microstock

This is major news for anyone in the photography space ! #iptc #stockphoto #photojournalism #Photography
Starting today Google is expanding the feature they introduced in September 2018 following IPTC's and CEPIC's *hard* work on this matter. Image metadata matters! Check their support page here: support.google.com/webmaster…
