It is obvious and sad to see they are doing this move for their shareholders interests only.
It also looks like they are running scared of AI which is daft no matter how good AI is or gets it will just make a photograhers work worth more.
People have not stopped painting or collecting an artists work just because we can print pictures.
Every industry goes through these stages of change and as much as i can admire what AI can create, there is no real effort put into to the work.
Also there is no actual AI as such, AI pictures and text are just dragged into a computer program from content already on the internet and organised into a pattern at speed.
So yeah it is cool but it is certainly not the same as a real picture, painting or capture.
It is sad they lowered what the content creator gets it is already kind of low in my opinion.
Wishing you success my friend

Thank you, Ben, those are all valid points.
I have just shared my concerns that it's getting even worse as I see a huge drop in my own sales already.
Most of the people will go for the free imagery even if it has flaws, just because it's "free".
I guess it's never too late to become a programmer 😂🍻
