With the iframe setup, they can keep track of all sorts of user data. Unfortunately the price to use Getty images would take up most of this site's, and I'm assuming many other small publications', budgets just using a handful per month. Most people (myself included) would probably be willing to pay reasonable fees or give credit if it's easy to do so. I want photographers to be valued for their work, just as I like to be valued for mine. You can get them royalty free with no watermark off any basic Google image search. Pay to play, or steal for freeĪs The Verge author notes, people have been stealing Getty images for years.

These are about as perfect a fit for WordPress as reading an embedded PDF on a website as far as I can tell (hint: I don't particularly enjoy that experience). And forget using these as featured images.

And the image itself s to Getty's website, of course.Īnd yeah, it's not responsive. They call it striking “directly at social sharing.” I call it supremely ugly.įrom the overly pronounced Getty logo, to the confusing embed icon, to the iframes for Twitter and Tumblr within the Getty iframe (yo dawg, we got iframes for your iframes), the whole thing just stinks.

The implementation stinksįor one, the implementation is hideous. Īnyway, I can't help but feel underwhelmed by this move from Getty. I guess like the one Time just launched to run their entire website. Nice shout-out to “small-scale WordPress” blogs. For a small-scale WordPress blog with no photo budget, this looks an awful lot like free stock imagery. Getty Images is dropping the watermark for the bulk of its collection, in exchange for an open-embed program that will let users drop in any image they want, as long as the service gets to append a footer at the bottom of the picture with a credit and link to the licensing page. The photo above of Matt Mullenweg is an example. I read an article on The Verge this evening about how Getty Images have made their images freely embeddable.
