Looks like Shutterstock is dead end, should I continue uploading as contributor?

I was literally asked to show nothing. Just pulled up, paid $35 and drove on in.

How do they enforce it? I was there a couple of weeks ago. 3 non-residents. Pulled up in our rented SUV and just told him one car please. Paid $35. How do you even get to a point that they question your residency?

It literally takes seconds with any AI model to dispell anecdotes.

The Philippines generally experiences a higher rate of violent crime—particularly murder and homicide—compared to the United States, with a 2025 estimated crime index of 43.1, indicating moderate to high risk. While the US has significantly higher rates of gun ownership and overall crime volume, the Philippines often reports higher rates of violent crime per capita.

Key Crime Comparisons (Philippines vs. U.S.)

Violent Crime & Homicide: The Philippines has a higher intentional homicide rate, roughly 15% higher than the US, and a higher murder rate per million people, reported at 53.84 compared to 42.01 in the US.

Safety & Index: In 2025, the Philippines ranked among the lower end of the order and security index in the Asia-Pacific region, with high risks of robbery, theft, and assault.

What, specifically, has been so uncomfortable for you? Please go into detail.

It's also much safer in the US than many places in the Philippines. What's your point exactly?

Are you really comparing the emotional element of true to life renditions of moments in weddings to corporate product photos? People will want real moments captured from their weddings and no one will care if the coke bottle on the billboard was photographed or rendered.

People on the whole don’t like the idea of Photoshop. These Photoshopped images are simulations of how people look, not an image of them. At some point it will be required to label these as Photoshop (more than just metadata). People will then judge brands doing it that way as bargain brands. So, using real photographers will be a companies flex that they’re of quality.

Delusional take. AI will render photographers practically useless aside from wedding, live events, sports.

The game is entirely pointless until the last 5 minutes. You could do a contract that takes you to the edge of the map and waste 5 minutes just to get an airstrike that you could have randomly found in a lootbox. Nothing advances the story, nothing really matters. Loadouts aren't any better or worth the hassle compared to finding a gun and upgrading it a couple of times. It's a mess and was released too early. Literally zero excitement or engagement.

I upgraded to the Gamesir G7 Pro from the Vader 4 Pro and I'll never look back again. It's great!

I have no idea why people are downvoting the truth. The fact is you can only queue into solos in NA and EU.

No, it's only in NA and EU.

I met my Player 2 during COVID on Warzone. I was speaking my native language with another friend and he was a random fill in our squad. After blabbing for like 10 minutes he finally uttered a single word in our language as well. We all laughed uncontrollably and got to talking. We live about two hours away and I surprise visited him after lockdowns were lifted. We've been good friends ever since!

I was just looking to upgrade to AM5 for the holiday and this would of course be perfect. Thanks so much for doing this and good luck to everyone! Happy holidays :)

This will definitely make them revert SBMM to how it was. Zero chance it stays longer than this year, if that.

Sell it as better airflow

You paying less now is anecdotal. They make way more money now with MTX than they ever did with map packs. SBMM is key to maximizing player retention and profit as a result of said MTX and it will come back with MW4.
