Adobe Stock / Re: Is it just me, or is EVERYTHING being rejected over at Fotolia?

It seems like whatever I upload, stuff that I check and double check at 100% is being rejected for "does not meet our desired level of aesthetic quality."

Have I all of the sudden become a really bad photographer or are other contributors finding the same results?

lol.. i get that all the time and then upload to shutterstock and make $100 on sales...
aethetic quality is subjective... i wonder about their reviewers sometimes...

Adobe Stock / Re: Shocking Fotolia Earnings Drop

i've been 'playing' with stock since 2005 and only upload a few images a month... if...
i noticed that its has been getting MUCH worse at Fotolia than other places...

NO DOWNLOADS IN 2 WEEKS.. (i started getting at least 1 sale every 2-4 days)

now i suspect that its not only me...

Up to now, i have been getting a weekly rank of about 4,000 (sometimes even 2,500 !)
a while back with decent sales, i dropped to around 5,000.
now here's the thing...
with almost NO DOWNLOADS in the past month or 2... my weekly rank HAS NOT CHANGED !

doesnt this mean that sales are generally crappier for EVERYONE ?...
if it were only me.. my rank this month would have tanked....

something is going wrong over there.. didnt they cut the forums ? probably too many people bitching about sales.

i'm really pi$$ed at Istock. They FINALLY accepted 3 images after sending them DOZENS over many months... so 3 of my best sellers across all sites end up in the final 3..
so i get accepted..
and send the 3 in again, to start my porfolio.
So the REJECT 2 of them !!!!! ..
after having reviewed them..and their being up to the standards to join their team, they reject the images.
that kind of drek, i don't need. Canadian or not... I
