Hi Achilles,


Thanks for your reply. I just feel frustrated on these recent huge amount of rejections and wanted to know if others experiencing the same. I did not use "stupid" in any of my message here and on any other forums.  I do appreciate their work and respect the feedbacks on the rejected images.

Yes, as you suggested that I can always go through DT support in the first instance to address any questions or disagreement on any rejections I have got. However there are something else makes me feel not want to do that. I am not going to talk about anything in detail here anymore but will write a message directly to DT later.

If you read the reply from Achilles the reason to change back was due to "Buyers complained". it is not because of contributors interests....

It's amazing how some people fail to read plain sentences. Where did you see the "buyers" complaints?
All I could find from Achilles is: "Yes, the sorting is back on relevancy, as another part of our monitoring. It's not a guarantee that it will stay that way though, it all depends on buyers' feedback."

It says that future changes will depend on buyer's feedback. No mentioning of complaints. The only whiners were some contributors that would better spend their time shooting and uploading 

Ok, feedback or complaints, whatever. What I meant is for any stock photo business (or any other type business) it is people who pays to buy photos do they take seriously not contributors. On the other hand, DT changed search engine in March only because they want to push more sales. If not for seeing revenue decrease who would care to change the search default back?  Not blaming DT, if I run this business I would definitely do the same. Yes, as a contributor I can only keep shooting and uploading.

Search engine at DT has changed back to "Relevancy" as default yesterday
