Title: Does Fotolia have the Crestock syndrome?

Does Fotolia have the Crestock syndrome:

Rejecting nearly all pictures for "technical" problems and when they then do select a few, it is the ones that non of the other sites wanted....?

I have noticed that very thing today, never had a problem with Fotolia before always had a high acceptance rate. Today batch of 12 had 8 rejected and the ones that were accepted were no better technically than the ones rejected.

In my opinion it is not only technically speaking Druid. I see the ones they took as actually been weaker images than the ones they rejected. Just bad decision making from a esthetic/artistic and business perspective as well.

I started uploading again over the past month.  No rejection problems but no boost to my earnings.  I'm stopping again, seems pointless supplying a site that keeps selling less and cutting commissions.  If they don't change the search back, so my sales come out of this slump, they aren't worth the effort.

Fotolia has always been the agency who accepts the least amount of my images.

But for me, the choice of what they kept where much better.
