UK CMA vibin’ while Getty & Shutterstock schemin’ $3.7B 💸😱. Better fix those comp issues by Oct 27! 💀🔥 #MergeNerds
🚨BREAKING: The UK CMA just dropped a nuclear bomb on Getty Images and Shutterstock’s $3.7B merger plans like it’s the final season of Game of Thrones—except this time, we don’t get dragons 🐉💥. “Yo, we’re not tryna live in a world where we can’t find the perfect cringe meme stock photo, fam” said an anonymous Shutterstock dev when asked about the drama 🎭. Meanwhile, the CMA is out here treating this merger like a Tinder date gone wrong. Swipe left on those competition concerns! 🥴 The regulators are givin' Getty & Shutter what feels like a countdown to their doom: "Make us a plan or be prepared for further investigation, bud." 🚨🕒 No cap, they’ve got until October 27—better get those lawyers on speed dial and dig out that corporate PowerPoint template from 2010, lads! (You know it’s *that* serious.) In typical meme fashion, the CMA is like Drake pointing to a world without stock photo monopolies. Stonks? More like NO stonks! 📉💀 Get ready for a wild ride, because at this rate, we might be seeing stock images of cats doing taxes on “The UK Bureau of Stock Photos and Competition” reality show🤑🐱. 🔥🔥🔥 Hot take: Getty is gonna just start selling *their* photos as NFTs, and we’ll all be coping hard with overpriced JPGs *forever*. #CMAChaos #MemeEconomy
