Is it worth it?

I can only imagine the impact it has on sales and I don't know how or when it happened, but some time ago I looked at some of my images on Bigstock and noticed that somehow the images had all the wrong keywords and captions which belonged to other images in my portfolio. As BS is such a low earner anyway I stopped uploading there and didn't bother contacting support.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else has had the same experience.

No stock are worth it now least of all BS. Anyone uploading to stock sites are clutching at straws and hoping for a few crumbs. That's what happens when people boast about their earnings.

Yes I've seen this. You used to be able to submit several pics at a time, adding the common catagories to them. If you do that now (not tested lately) it spams the title/keywords from the first across all of them. This used to work correctly.

As for sales, I only do it because I'm preparing them for other sites ::)
