I hate the regular emails I get from DT telling me they've deleted another image from my port...after the work involved in uploading and the fact some of the images have sold elsewhere, it's incredibly annoying.

I hate the regular emails I get from DT telling me they've deleted another image from my port...after the work involved in uploading and the fact some of the images have sold elsewhere, it's incredibly annoying.

Probably less annoying than having them go into the free section??   

The constant claw backs and their (the key peeps at ms) attitude that we have so much invested in uploading and such that we won't pull ports until payouts equal zero. My frustration is that even they say they care about contributors, they don't.

The idea that competing artists are judging worthiness of my work.

"An unwanted filter was used"
Yet the image sells like crazy on sites where the filter was deemed to be "wanted".
So, exactly when is a filter "unwanted"? 

For me the single most annoying thing is... Dreamstime.

Really, I really like that site.

Not the most annoying, but a little stupid I think:



Why to tell that it was redundant, that they removed it, and ask me to send to submit again?

Just remove it and send it automatically, no?

So obvious when you think about it.   Other sites require plurals, so they're in my IPTC.  If your site doesn't want them, just delete them and shut up about it.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever submitted photos to SS and not gotten "one or more of your images may contain errors".   

But seriously - categories are a pain beyond endurance.  Won't they ever go away?
