I submitted some drawings at Dreamstime and found the submit button replaced with some odd phrases. Made me giggle.

Yes now DT is not April Fool, it is 'AllTheYear Fool'

Yeah, sales have been disappointing. Their similars policy is ridiculous.

I had a great run with DT, and then, like other sites, there was a stair step decline to a more than 50% reduction in royalty payments.  I still upload photos there, but DT is the last site I upload to with minimal excitement.  I don't sell video there and I have built about 1100 video assets in 12 months.  To be fair, DT is still above the other sites I just cut ties with (Most Photos, Stockfresh, GL), but they are still declining for me month over month on declining volume.  I am also opted out of EL's but I rarely got those anyway.

I would love for them to change a few things. With the problems forming over at Pond5 someone has a real chance to take video share if they shape their program correctly. Funny, I just had all 120 of my last video batch rejected at P5, and have sold three of those videos already elsewhere in a few weeks. But the $20 or so I got could have been more if they sold on P5.

Agree. P5 is making some serious mistakes.

Seems I am always a day late and a dollar short.  I just uploaded my first batch to P5 about a week ago.  And yeah, I enjoy DT and their sense of humor.  If only I could make a bit more money there all would be awesome.   :-\
