Title: Here's a Positive: Some reviewers work on weekends
Post by: The Mighty Jungle on May 05, 2019, 17:43
It appears that some istockphoto reviewers work on weekends. I got images reviewed on both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend.

That was an unexpected treat.

Why unexpected?
They've had reviewers all over the world reviewing 24/7 at least since I joined in 2007.

Actually the correct title shouldn't have been:

"Good News for istockphoto reviewers!" ?

:P

I personally think that the is review chart is much slower than before, but it is sold very rarely!

For a period of time it was around 20-25 days, so I guess it's better now, flood gates open.

I don't remember ever having gotten any images reviewed on weekends before. Typically if I upload images on a Friday, nothing happens 'til Monday.

There are years that I have not have a photo rejected in iStock… so I am not even sure that they have been reviewed by somebody… (maybe by something)

They now only reject for legal reasons

Cool! I can't wait to have a rejection on Sundays because I took a picture of a "castle in Europe", because I was indoor so I may require a release, or because they don't want my content to compete with Getty while I will upload it on several other websites...
