Shutterstock is a direct competitor of iStock and is a $3B company. I personally pay them $200/mo. Maybe you just don't know enough about this industry?

- recuter 5y agoSeems about right. Their yearly revenue is $700 million, I don't know about iStock as it isn't public. Any other big ones? My hypothesis is that it could be a partial replacement/competitor and devalue their offering - reasonable to assume you'd be paying $99/mo soon and it will gradually decrease as the tech spreads and more competitors emerge. Adobe is also in this game (https://stock.adobe.com https://stock.adobe.com), they are not unfamiliar with AI. You can see how a lot of people will jump on this if it proves to be lucrative. I don't claim to be an expert and I didn't say this is worthless.
