This means that in the future Getty could replace your image blocks with other images, advertisements … or well anything. It also means that your site now has a dependency on Getty’s CDN uptime. If their servers are down, your site has no images.
Good points.
… doesn’t that apply to using anyone’s CDN?
Fuck Getty
Yup. It’s always going to be a concern that publishers need to factor in when they think of using these kinds of offerings.
