Shutterstock Boycott

[Shutterstock Boycott @ShutterstockB]

@wammertime No mention on the call that 1,000s of artists disabled their portfolios at Shutterstock in June and removed over 10 million images in protest over royalty cuts? Have you noticed the drop in # of new images added to the SSTK library weekly? SSTK up, tho...

@dannycrichton Great piece about Shutterstock’s China problem and employee petition and resignations. Do you know thousands of artists have left too, after huge royalty cuts? #shutterstockboycott @stockcoalition https://t.co/2lJyHKaZtB

@samfbiddle Article from the fall about Shutterstock’s China Problem. Employees resign, and contributors boycott after huge royalty cuts to boost profits. Oringer says let them eat cake. #boycottshutterstock #shutterstockboycott join @stockcoalition https://t.co/8R0umX7PRO

@StefanHayden Another article about Shutterstock’s China problems. Happy to let good employees go, happy to let contributors do the same. #boycottshutterstock #shutterstockboycott join #stockcoalition https://t.co/2lJyHKsAl9

Shutterstock also slashed artists’ royalties in the middle of the pandemic, leaving people wondering how they’ll pay their bills. Oringer’s tweet to upset artists: Take your content and go. #boycottShutterstock

@Kit8Net @Shutterstock Put a link to your portfolio in your tweets! Makes it easier for buyers to find.

Jon Oringer to the artists whose work he licenses...go take a hike. #boycottShutterstock

@jonoringer @fffotoru Prove it. Show us all the people who are magically making more with the new royalty scheme, when we’re hearing the opposite from thousands of contributors.

@Shutterstock @jonoringer Baloney. You ripped off thousands of independent artists all over the world with royalty cuts during a pandemic. But you’re a billionaire who doesn’t read his own forums, full of people who can’t pay their bills any more. Let them eat cake, eh?

[Shutterstock Boycott @ShutterstockB]

@jonoringer @MediaStockRoom @fffotoru Bull.

@jonoringer Are you saying that after 100 10 cent subscription downloads you’ll start earning more per subscription download? Please clarify, @jonoringer

@David_Ingram @David_Ingram Facebook is now censoring an article about the boycott of Shutterstock by artists. Attempts to post the article are blocked with a message about it being “spam.” Comments about the censorship with a bitly link to the article are blocked with an error message.

That's it. All my 2610 images opted out of licensing via Shutterstock after their commission rate slashing with just six days notice. #nolongeratshutterstock #BoycottShutterstock

Bye, bye shitstock

@StevenBertoni @Forbes @StevenBertoni Is Shutterstock preparing for sale? Without notice SS abruptly cut royalties to their content producers Jun 1 to pay .10 for images and fired image reviewers to farm out to Mumbai. Artists outraged. Oringer sells $1M shares June 1 & 3. https://t.co/mHo7My9h4g

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.
