STOCK Stock Photos

关于 Stock Photos

Stock photos are often mocked online for their surreal or unrealistic portrayals of everyday life. Stock Photos are commonly captioned, edited or used as reaction images on sites like 4chan, Reddit or Tumblr. Stock Photos grew in online popularity when the Awkward Stock Photos single topic blog was created on Tumblr, featuring various odd or out-of-context stock photos. The blog's content was quickly taken down by a cease-and-desist order from iStockphoto (shown below), although the blog continued later on. The blog and the DMCA takedown was covered by various news media websites like TechDirt or Buzzfeed, increasing the blog's popularity. The concept of the blog inspired other single topic blogs on Tumblr, such as WTF Stock Photos and Overly Specific Stock Photos
