This exactly. Whats even worse, is that so many stock sites now try to pivot fully to AI. As someone who regularly uses stock images and videos at work this is so annoying. I don't want a fucking inbetween platform to AI generate some slop. Now more then ever there would be value in a site that gives me 100% real images. Like say if I want to illustrate a video about Peru i want videos that were actually shot there etc...
I was looking for graphics the other day and the stock images sites I've used before were virtually all AI slop. Why would I pay for that?
