> Whenever I wanted to buy stock images, I was shocked how expensive they were.
It's funny, because authors of those images (at least on Shutterstock) get basically nothing (like ten cents for photo, iirc).

Wondering if photographers can't already do this with regular search engine's image search, which (speaking for myself) is what I use when looking for usable images anyway. It often lands me on something like shutterstock but it's almost always too expensive, annoying to pay, or badly licensed. If they support common payment methods from around the world, anyone can buy unwatermarked versions for a dollar and the photographer gets 100%. I guess the downside is having to have a website of your own? Many photographers already have this anyway though
Maybe there's enough out of work developers someone can go after this seemingly low value but wished for since forever payment space.
Everyone with a bank account can transfer money online, merchants just need to accept it and not try to use dumb schemes that charge extra fees on top of the bank fees to "support more payment methods", that's my problem...
Edit: doing a search, is this like YouTube results? I thought Getty images and Shutterstock were for photos you can put in an article, presentation, website, game, etc. There's also no license mentioned for any of the results that I see. I really have no clue what this website or its videos are about, even with the context of this thread
