PZF:
From most stuff being accepted to virtually nothing recent being approved (either rejected outright or 'pending cutout' lol!).....

Not to mention the slightly older stuff which is still 'pending review'.....

What a mess.

Guess they barely need their own database now they use IS.

And haven't had a $10 sale for months.

Another one biting the dust.......

The sudden switch to rejecting almost everything is very annoying, and the ones they accept make no sense.  I suspect it's as you say - they now have iS so doing their own reviews is a waste of money.  The $10 sales also have disappeared.  Regular sales have upticked the past 3-4 weeks but not anywhere near what they were in 2016.  Too bad.

I upload to iStock and Canva, so my photos are duplicated then? That's why they are all rejected?

Dumc:
Same here, lots of rejections, I had multilpe 10$ sales each month, last month only one, this month none yet, back in the day, I would have at leat 1 or 2 by now. Disaster.

pancaketom:
The rejections there have usually had me scratching my head. Best seller = a background, most backgrounds rejected. Some .png files rejected. Also with no information given there is no way to tell why it was rejected.

For a while sales were quite good there (numbers of sales similar to SS) and with a different sort of market than most of the other sites, but they really fell off a cliff at the end of last year (in March they were behind DT). I fear that they can just get what they want from the Getty database, so why bother reviewing and accepting and hosting their own content. The fact that the artists percentage is double-dipped down to who knows what - potentially 15% of 35% (or 5.25%) doesn't seem to bother them, although it should distress any artist. I keep hoping they will turn around but I see no evidence of it and other than hope I have no reason to believe it will happen. Also they aren't going to be getting any of my new content and very little of my old content through the Getty route.
