Hey so if anyone is considering getting an iStock subscription I would suggest avoiding it. It locks you it an absolute nightmare of a subscription plan and currently it is pushing it's AI software hard despite acting like its hot stuff for not allowing AI generated images to be sold as stock.
Which isn't completely true. I attempted to report an AI generated image that was worryingly close to straight up child porn but iStock's customer service contact system is also an absolute nightmare so as far as I know it's still up there.
If you're currently in the middle of a subscription plan that you want to cancel, the current advice is to disconnect your credit card info to force stop the payments. You MAY be able to get your money back through your credit card company but mileage may very.
