Does anyone have a good word to say about istock?

Yes I have.
Every time I go to upload tho them something I have big diarrhea and some kind of green radioactive puke for few hours...
Who sad that they are non eco friendly?

Hey there - istock's a pretty much cloistered society but that's just contemporary society. i really don't know how anyone can be an artist and a 'social network freak' too - where is the time?? -istock reviewers are inconsistent - but all in all they've made me a much better photographer. Their stock is superior to shutterstock and almay & others except of course the a list, getty, magnum, etal. They have a good library with quite a few very informative well-written 'how to' articles. One must really make use of lightboxes etc. There's really no use in getting your panties in a bunch when you get a reject or don't have enough sales. the rejects are usually - note usually - correct. the stock reject paragraphs they send are lame but . . . whatever! i'd like to break into the backgrounds category as that seems to sell and i love doing them as studio pix of toothy smiling people are just not my cup a tea! but then that's what society wants - happy, clean people and sun, blue sky, and very green grass with a pretty girl . . ahh - the best sellers.

I just spoke to my Doctor about the reaction you keep having and he prescribes abstinence.

Nonono, you misheard, it was absinthe he prescribed.

It's really sad we're fighting each other instead of the beast. By doing so, we're really just making the beast stronger and stronger, just like every evil force

If you are a fine Art creative photographer who likes things like ie, light and shadows, forget it. If you take flat well lit images that are not that interesting from a creative perspective you have more chance of the "reviewers" letting you through.

I am an exclusive and am finding myself between a rock and a hard place. If I go, my already dire royalties will drop to an even more pathetic low than they already are. If I stay I feel like I am not being rewarded at all for my exclusivity. If I can sell my images through more outlets I may make more (as well as the rejected images) but it will be time consuming.

In a nutshell I have nothing good to say about IS at this moment. Every month gets worse for me and this last has been the worst in royalties since 2009.

ROFLMAO!

I have Suljo on ignore, but it was worth reading his drivel to see your hilarious response.

Thanks for a great laugh

Really? Hard to see what's so helpful about his endless repetition of the same joke comparing Istock to cattle.

FWIW, the above diarrhea joke doesn't incline me to take him off ignore. But hey, if that's what you are into, you are free to continue enjoying his rapier sharp wit

Look Lisa
After all iStock/CATTLE/LIVESTOCK isnt joke at all. It just what they name means in my language, and sweetest thing is that they behave like that see below.

A few years ago when iStock started with their greedy games I had perhaps the sharpest expression, sometime it was to rude, while contributors (especially exclusives) are flooded with Woyay threads and been blind at that time. I have been interested how far iStock will go with it, and it seems to me there is no end. Now I do not care what they do because I do not expect anything positive from them in the future.
Now as I see more and more negative/sharp/rude opinions from people who were in Woyay club have bigger moans and conspiracy theories about iStock than me ever.
For me now it is just sweet when I opening iStock site (if smacks are online ) and just say for myself: "Lest see what Cat..e is doing/inventing how to screw all of us more"
How do you dont understand Lisa. This word is just Disambiguation of original meaning in my language.

Let's say you were a waitress and had a boss who is harassed or mistreated you and other workers, and who had a funny name or surname that reflected his behavior and that became his nickname.
Is that so hard to figure out.

Any how Cat..e is to soft(drink) and wrong word for iSotck what they are. More appropriate description for them will be GRDY ARGNT BSTRDS but I unfortunately I dont call them like that in most my posts, even they deserve it
PERIOD

For me is funny English word CowBoy - if it is translated in my language it seams that mother of this Boy is Cow
or word CockPit of airplane seams you can see by youre self...
There lots of more ambiguous words but I can not remember right now...

Can somebody quote this jabbering how can Lisa could read this with her hearing thirsty eyes on her avatar.

that way she can read it :-)

Bruce Livingstone founded istock, the first microstock site and that's the reason we're all here.

Seams that Leaf put automatic filter when I type S T O K A filter automatically translate this to iStock so try this

and in translation field enter S T O K A without spaces

How many more "ignores" are needed to get eliminated?

Rarely see anything positive posted - wondering what folks think. Really aimed at non-exclusives as less likely to be institutionalised....

It works for me, but I am an "institutionalized exclusive". It is a very nice supplement to my outside income, I have learned a lot about some types of photography, and it makes buying new L lenses much easier to justify to my wife.

Yeah, that was quite boring, but I noticed he hasn't made them lately. I wished he had forgotten it, but now he is bak to it!

Now that you've mentioned... he has 28 ignores, did shank_ali had that many?

Read my last post
and it IS NOT A JOKE for me any more.
Its just funny ambiguity. DIG it?!
Blahhh
just read it...
if you dont understand kick you head on nearest wall hard...

grp_photo, if you are going to quote the entire text of people just for the purpose of forcing them on those who are ignoring them, that completely violates the purpose of the ignore button. I certainly do admire your loyalty to your friend though.

BTW, did not read it. Sorry to disappoint.
