Hi Jim,

Good article. I've been thinking about this for a while now and your main point is valid. People that are now selling stock are transitioning from photography to video right now and in the future probably into 360° and VR video and CGI. No wonder the prices are so low for photos.

And yes, it is a scary future one where we won't be able to tell reality from what we see on our screens. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where I must assume everything to be false from the get go. But maybe that will make people look harder for the truth.

Anyway, very interesting blog. Thanks for your articles.
