Over the last couple of weeks, they've been upgrading the quality 'stars' system. If you've gone up to 5*, your uploads go straight in and you can 'manage' them within a few seconds/minutes.

As a three star, no more show as filled or otherwise, I just can't wait to see if that changes anytime for me. I'll need to be more cautious if that makes a difference. While it's not that critical or important, the waiting and watching 32 images that I uploaded Monday, hanging there in QC, is kind of like wondering, did I pass or fail, when do the grades come out? ;)

DepositPhotos: buggy web uploader, and their FTP server is completely unsecured (i.e. no FTP over TSL, just plain FTP)

By incompetent I mean either they don't know what the heck they are doing or they do know but just like to play games with us, either way and with all due respect these people should go flip burgers instead.
As for videos I would have to say Shutterstock again since they don't transfer any metadata unlike AS and P5. While I only joined them recently Pond 5 would be my favorite for uploading video. Editing metadata for online clips is also very straightforward.
I don't mind the extra work at Alamy as long as sales are occurring and that is probably why many hate them, more work and no/low sales.
It's a pain though to tag the top keywords with a pen so hopefully they will look into that one day.
I don't have any issues with Adobe either since I keyword in Bridge so the top five keywords are always in front. UL speed also seems faster compared to SS.
I only work with these 4 (used to be more then a dozen) so cannot comment on others.

But then they'll be the type to pee and or spit in our burgers. Do you really want that? ???

For me Pond5 - I have not taken my port down but the effort/return ration is higher than any other agency so I have stopped bothering uploading.

SS and BS for the program review.
A lot of stupid duplicate work.
