I just made a thread about Shutterstock and the centralized stock imagery industry in general, which isn't showing up because all of my threads on this specific subreddit have to be approved by mods (I can post threads fine on other subreddits) and nobody ever explains why that is for whatever reason, but basically, this is a pathetic attempt by Shutterstock to stay relevent when they as a company and their industry are irrelevant and will soon be replaced by decentralized AI.

Huh, no idea what's up with your account man, sorry about that. But I don't think it's a pathetic attempt at all. Honestly the best thing they can do at this point is embrace AI and go with the flow, developing services around it, and I'd say this move is how to start in that direction.

I appreciate it, but it's fine. Hopefully my thread will be approved, even if it takes a day.

Also, while I agree that it's important to embrace AI, the future is decentralized and democratized, not centralized by any company, let alone a company that preaches "ethical practices", when in reality, they happily censor for China and want control over AI.

I’m in the same boat with the posts - whenever I try to post something here, it gets flagged and doesn’t show up on the main page. I’ve messaged the mods about it before, and they were able to approve it for me, but any later posts I’ve tried to make were also flagged, and weren’t cleared even after a few days. I’ve just given up on trying to post anything here these days.
