Yeah probably, just not how I think of getty images usually. In my head its just dumb photoshoots of some stupid scene with B list models, or things they buy the rights to after the fact.
Most stock photo agencies have images that can be licensed only for "editorial" use. Getty in particular has a ton of that stuff. It's smaller than their "commercial" archive (the stuff that can be licensed for advertising etc.), but there's still a lot of press photographers who sell images to them.
how tf does getty images already OWN images of this shit?

They do have some staff photographers but many news agencies and freelance photojournalists also license their photos through Getty.
