Hi Dear Contributors,
I received a reply e-mail from Shutterstock such as below;

Greetings,

We hear your concern with the new earnings structure changes.

Please be informed, the decision to make these changes was not made lightly and was done with much consideration for all of our contributors. Shutterstock aims to fairly compensate our contributors for the time and talent invested in the production of their work. Given the market has changed significantly since Shutterstock was founded in 2003, we have made changes to better reflect the current market.

If you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks and Regards,
Shutterstock Contributor Care Team
