Pond 5 review changes
stephenkirsh:
Pond 5 always used to be my highest approval rating... 95%+. I always thought it was a bit odd that they just accepted most everything, but ok.
Now, the last 3 times I've submitted, I've got 90% REJECTED. I don't expect them to just keep accepting everything, but these same ~100 images/videos got acceptance ratios ranging from 35-75% on the other stock sites.
What gives? They have an easy upload process, and I make decent money from all my old content, but it's not wroth the time if they're rejecting everything everybody else is accepting.
Yay Images Billionaire:
I got most of my last uploads accepted, but the notice with some of the rejections was interesting.
"At this point, the clips with this topic that have a greater chance of acceptance on the site are both unusual and high-quality. The best way to tell whether or not your clip has a good chance of getting rejected would be to do a search on our site for what you're thinking of creating before you put in the time to make it, and see how many results come up. If it's something that has 100+ very similar results, then chances are we're not currently looking for more unless they're something we haven't seen before or something that will make us say "wow"."
On one hand I can see how more than 100 clips of a subject wouldn't be of much use to them. But most topics do need to be updated to stay fresh and up to date. Also this means that they wouldn't be accepting anything that isn't a niche.

Looks like the same recipe for disaster that DT followed with stills. I'm sure google likes lots more new content, why else would SS be accepting so many new images? I'm starting to get seriously concerned about P5, they should remember what made them so good and not destroy it.
Steveball:
95% rejections here (50+ files), no more uploads until things change.
KnowYourOnions:
Maybe write to them directly?
