Bigstockphoto nimmt keine neuen Bilder an

[Koljaiczek]

Recht überraschend und eher beiläufig habe ich das rote Banner beim Upload entdeckt... scheinbar nimmt Bigstock (gehört Shutterstock) ab morgen 01.07.2023 keine neuen Uploads mehr an...

Habe ich da etwas verpasst oder kommt das jetzt eher aus "heiterem Himmel"? Dass es nach der Übernahme so lange parallel lief, wundert mich eh... lohnt sich offenbar für Shutterstock nicht mehr recht...

Hello,

The landscape of creative opportunity is continuing to evolve, and technology is playing an even more instrumental role. We recognize that Bigstock has not enjoyed many of the platform advances we have introduced in recent years on Shutterstock and we’re making changes to address that. Here are the changes and opportunities that will soon be coming your way:

Shutterstock will soon begin to make modifications to Bigstock’s front end and back end technologies in an attempt to stabilize, and hopefully revitalize, the site.This renovation will be disruptive to certain parts of our current workflow and so we have decided to temporarily suspend new content submissions on Bigstock as of June 30th, 2023. During this time, you will still be able to access your Bigstock contributor account and will continue to accrue earnings for licenses completed on your current catalog. Additionally, you will continue to have the ability to request payment on accrued earnings at any time.

Our Contributors are a vital part of our ecosystem and for those of you who are not already a part of our Shutterstock community, we would encourage you to start a portfolio on Shutterstock.com so you can access greater opportunity as a content creator and reach our growing global customer base. This support article will further explain how this will impact your contributor account.

We are introducing the Contributor Fund as a way to compensate Bigstock contributors for your data's role in training computer vision models. Generative AI is an exciting technology that has quickly become a big part of the discourse on creative production. Shutterstock is partnering with the premier AI companies in the world that are building responsibly sourced AI generative content models. One of the ways Shutterstock supports the advancement of AI technology is by supplying customers with content known as datasets on which they can train their models while the artists who produce this content are compensated – you can learn more about it here.

We have also put together this Bigstock FAQ to explain how datasets and the Contributor Fund apply to your Bigstock account, including the ability to opt-out from future data deals. As innovation of this ground-breaking technology continues, we’re excited to see Bigstock play an even larger part.

Thank you as always for being a valued part of our contributor community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team by sending an email to submit@bigstock.com.

Bevor jetzt alle stundenlang lesen ...

es ist nur vorübergehend!

... "Diese Erneuerung wird bestimmte Teile unseres derzeitigen Arbeitsablaufs beeinträchtigen, weshalb wir beschlossen haben, die Einreichung neuer Inhalte auf Bigstock ab dem 30. Juni 2023 vorübergehend auszusetzen. Während dieser Zeit können Sie weiterhin auf Ihr Bigstock-Konto zugreifen und erhalten weiterhin Einnahmen für Lizenzen, die Sie für Ihren aktuellen Katalog abgeschlossen haben. Außerdem haben Sie weiterhin die Möglichkeit, jederzeit eine Auszahlung der aufgelaufenen Einnahmen zu beantragen."
