Pond5 Image rejections
JustAnImage:
Today I had my first image rejection at Pond5 ever and they rejected 61 of 61 images - with the following text:
"Our team has finished reviewing your recent uploads. Here are the results:
Items rejected (61)
Curator comments:
Hello, thank you for the uploads. Pond5 now has over 10 million photos in the collection, therefore we're scaling back on the amount of similar images we accept - due to the very high volume of similar content already in the library. Photos of commonplace things such as clouds, flowers, countryside etc are very saturated, so it is unlikely we will accept many more unless they are very unique or of an extremely high quality. If you have any questions please contact [email protected]. Thanks"
Anyone else got this too?
cloudvisual:
Whilst I shoot 99.9% video, I've got about 1000 images on P5 because it's the best platform to export Metadata CSV. However, in all the years I've never sold a single photo on that site.
Really hope they don't start saying the same about video though.

I have about 2.000 videos and 23.000 images online at P5, but only sold about 20 images there with and RPD of about $4.
I contacted the support to see what they are saying about this... we will see :-)

I think Uncle Pete is right in the end.
The agencies have enough for each subject. They don't need us anymore. They even don't want our photos anymore. The will reject everything and sit to see the cash coming in and pay you 10 cents or 33 cents or whatever minimum is appropriate. If they get any because a lot is free this days.
From a business perspective completely understable though (for the intermediate term that is).

I haven't, but that's because I don't upload to Pond5 any more - they can't sell photos :) I know the photos they can't sell are saleable because Adobe Stock does just fine.
Lots of promises from them in 2020, but absolutely nothing in the end
