No.  I have over 6k images there and I maybe get to $50 payout threshold once or twice a year.  Crestock was never good, and they are dead, dead, dead now.

The one site I really detest for their arrogant rejection reasons and general crappiness

They had some potential many years ago. Now I get the impression it is a side project for the owner. I stopped uploading a long time ago. Sales are close to zero.

Congrats on the big sale!  I would not rush to upload there tho.  With almost 6k HCV images I maybe make $200/year at Crestock.

I jumped in here to see how is everybody doing on Crestock because I'm thinking of closing my account. It's just not worth the time. Year after year my best sellers get rejected over there, and always with a reason: "Does not meet current collection needs - please do not resubmit".
So, I guess they like to make money selling only certain types of photo, and I obviously don't make those.

That pretty much sums it up.
