Adobe Inc single handed is responsible more than any other company for the positive transformation of the photography industry. While Getty Images in my head remains the gold standard for stock, and I appreciate them selling my work, the fact is they were forced to merge down to stay relevant in the future. And for all the… bitching we read here in the contributor forum about Adobe’s rejections and creators ranting about taking their work else where, one thing I just don’t worry about is Adobe Stock’s long term survival.

You are absolutely right. I have stock in Adobe that is doing fantastic, but you are saying Adobe's long-term survival. I am reading in the forum that three to four people a week are being deactivated for reasons they don't know. So the question is, how long will your survival be, or mine? When support doesn't give these people a reason why they were deactivated, that really scares me.

Granted, I’m sure there are members who have had their accounts deactivated without the contributor having a clear reason as to why. Either due to an honest mistake or an issue outside of their control. But I’d be willing to bet there are at least a few (or more than a few) who are well aware as to why their accounts were disabled. Short of bad actors using stolen credit cards, most deactivations can be avoided by simply reading the rules...and following them.

An article from April 2023?

EyeEm was a German technology company and global stock photography community founded in Berlin in 2011. Pronounced "I am", the platform combined a photo-sharing app & social media community with an AI-powered marketplace that licensed user photos to major brands & agencies. In October 2023, six months after the German company filed for bankruptcy, it was announced that EyeEm had been acquired by rival company Freepik, now called Magnific.

Never heard of ‘em. Or should I say (eye)’em?
