This is not one of those tech acquisitions where the company is bought to be shut down. Unsplash will continue to operate as a standalone brand and division of Getty Images. The entire Unsplash team will be staying and building Unsplash in the direction we have been. The main difference now is we have access to the resources and experience of Getty Images to help accelerate our plans to create the world’s most useful visual asset library.
It's really a shame that they sold their soul to the devil known as Getty, I advice you to delete your account if you use it. Getty has a long history of not treating photographers with respect in terms of rights and the terms are usually bad. Plus Unsplash has been an amazing source of free images (quasi public domain stuff for example) that I use some of them for research work and reference reasons and the Getty takeover feels like a death sentence for them which is sad. Can clearly see them shut it down eventually. :(
