That button was removed in response to a lawsuit from Getty: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/internet-rages-after...


Is there anything good done by Getty since its existence?


They keep buying off smaller stock image platforms as well killing competition


Would love to see somebody make an image search site that lets you filter all that stuff out. It would be fine with me as a user if it respected no-hotlinking policies too. But the filter could just omit paywalled / registrationwalled sites and those that do trickery like obnoxious watermarks or showing one image to the search crawler and another one to site visitors.

I have nothing against sites trying to make money. But sometimes I want to see just the stuff that is straight out there and isn’t wrapped up in dark patterns.
