Your analogy is pretty precise up to the "naked" part. I've heard pretty bad things about Getty Images from their customers (much more expensive than competitors, much worse customer service.) Naked I've never heard...


I'm going to add a post-hoc rationalization that has something to do with it being a ballsy move, though I wasn't thinking of that at the time...


To distinguish from a nudist's casual disregard for garments and a hermit's inability to acquire substantial coverings, perhaps it would be better if Getty were not entirely naked, but instead had its underpants dropped to its ankles.

That says, "I own clothes, and usually wear them in a socially acceptable way, but I made an exception just for you and your formerly unstinky couch cushions."
