No.
That doesn't keep people from doing it, of course.

I like that!
I don't see why anyone would be mad at someone who is sticking with iStock. It's a difficult situation, and hard to know what is best to do. Some people stand to lose more by bailing out.
As individuals, while taking the good of the whole into consideration, we still have to do what we think is going to be best for our own situation. Good grief, we're Creatives, we don't herd.

Shutterstock was my first stock site (many years ago now, wow...) and I have always been happy with them. The upload system is easy to use, and payments are always on time. There's a forum where people new to the site can get critique from other photographers on their images before submitting their application, which is really useful.

I think the idea is that someone with 10,000 average (but sellable) photos is more serious about stock than someone with just a few really good photos.
Someone with just a few photos, no matter how good, may be picking the accidentally good images out of their thousands of unsellable vacation and family photos. Just a punter who thinks they can make a few bucks off of the pictures they have taken anyway, without having to put much effort into it.

I've been selling at FT for a while, and they are incredibly picky. I get more rejections there than anywhere. They have a particular "style" they like, and anything else has to be just incredible to get in. They have plenty of images, and are trying to only add new ones very slowly.

I think the initial drop caused by so many free images hitting the market is tapering off. I'm starting to see a little more action on all sites. Once everyone has a copy of the free stuff, sales ought to pick back up.
But, I'm afraid it will take a while...

Anything involving "innovative".

200 gone, 283 to do. I'm waiting for a payout before I delete the best sellers. Be dammed if I let them keep my money!

It's like a job interview. Show them your very best, and give them a good idea of what you can do. Stay fairly close to your main style, so that you aren't misrepresenting yourself, but otherwise, show off as much as you can. There's a forum for discussion, and you can get critiques from other contributors in the Illustration section, before you submit, if you like.

It's safe for work. I called it that because the culture I grew up in thought that figure studies were porn because the model was nude. I don't know what sort of weirdo would think a twenty minute study of a model bored out of her skull is sexy, but that's what I had to deal with. There is no actual nudity in the comics.

HI, another new to the forum, but not to selling art and photography. I think the best way to introduce myself is simply to show you these comics I did about growing up artistic, among the unimaginative. http://unseengallery.com/html/pervert_s_progress.html

Like most stock sites, there are some dubious things about them, but nothing scary... like some sites we've been discussing. So, I keep uploading there. I like them all right.

If, as you said in your very first post in this thread, you submitted something that had someone else's watermark on it, you were just plain stupid.
There is no reason whatsoever for that other person's work to have been in your vector in the first place. There are plenty of ways to use a photo for inspiration without importing it. The best way though, is to USE YOUR OWN PHOTO or YOUR OWN SKETCH from a photo.
I have trouble believing it was "just an accident", but even if it was, I don't see how you could have missed the raster in your eps when you did a final check before submitting.
I don't know what you think the people here can do for you, you screwed up and suffered the consequences. If I did something that dumb, I would expect the same results. And, I wouldn't whine about it being unfair, because it's not.
I'll be keeping an eye out for your work, in case you get "inspired" by some of my work.
