I'm an illustrator and I contribute predominantly vectors.
I have ~1500 vectors in all agencies listed below. I make $25-50 every month in 123RF; it used to be $50-100 three years back, but after the "restructure" it dropped.
It is also fair to say that due to other activities I haven't uploaded for about a year and a half, so I can't say what the numbers could be if I was consistent. I've started again this year, so I'll be able to be more accurate if you ask me in 2023.
For 2021 here are the agencies I contributed in order of income:
1. SS
2. AS (looks like it will soon become #1)
3. iS
4. VectorStock
5. 123RF
6. DP
7. Alami (!)
8. Canstock
9. ENVATO (Graphic River)
10. DT, Big, Pond5 (I check them out every Christmas for a small end-of-the-year bonus)
Special mention needs to be made for ENVATO's Graphic River. They can be a major stream of income if you're good on what you are doing, BUT...
Uploading the same set-up as the rest of the agencies won't cut it. It has different philosophy and different audience, and it needs a more labor-intensive approach in preparing and presenting your artwork. You have to give this special attention if you don't want to have 2/3 of your submission rejected as well as to have some success over there.
Recently I started uploading my portfolio in Vecteesy. I'm still in the process and I don't have any sales yet, but - It has more traffic than VectorStock and this is something that makes me optimistic for future gains.
I hope that was helpful.
Cheers
Please if you had vector sales in Vecteesy share with us your experience . I think it's interesting marketplace !

This is not my experience with 123RF. They are very professional. They review times are more than acceptable (sometimes quicker than SS). Their support is great.
It can take months to accept images only if you don't submit often or if you submit just few images.
Taking months to accept images is hardly what I would call "professional" or an "acceptable" review time. 
How many or often you submit images shouldn't play a role.
I created an account with them about a year ago, submitted some images, half a year later they were still not reviewed, so I deleted the site from my bookmarks and wrote that chapter off. That's anything but professional and not an agency I want to work with.
When I opened my account there 4 years ago, I had the same problems at first. Hundreds of pictures were not reviewed for 2 months.
After contacting the support, all images were waved through overnight immediatly. Since then, my experience has been the same as smcbuki.
I had the same problem and it was resolved by contacting them

Hello
Is it worth uploading vectors to 123RF ?
Or this is just a waste of time ?
I have 5500 vectors on 123RF.
I make 5-10 USD per month. I still upload there, because it's really easy, considering my workflow.
So, you decide. If you have thousands of vectors on 12-15 small agencies and you get 10 USD per month from each of them, then you can make 150+ USD per month, or 1800 USD per year. That is a nice addition to "big agencies money" - SS, AS, iS, P5... But, of course, uploading to 20 agencies takes a lot of time.
If you automate and/or optimize your workflow... maybe...
I agree with you 👍

Hello. Sure it's not. But you have to upload before 2007 or 2008.
I sell wayback machines if you want... 
Great, that comment!
And, yes, it's true. 123rf doesn't belong to the agencies where vectors bring in the big money.
what is you best agencies to sell vectors, instead adobe and SS ?

My main place to sell vectors is Adobe Stock where I sold 3. And they were all the same image.
Agree , Adobe Stock is number one 🥇

I think there is a relationship between periodically uploading content and between sales
Is this true for you ?

Unpopular opinion here, so I expect a lot of downvote. But I'll still chip in.
I actually like this move from Adobe. This move is very different from royalty cut like what other agencies did recently. What Adobe did here is pulling in new customers by offering better things. I would rather these customers getting cheaply from Adobe then stealing our stuffs from pirated site. This is very similar move by Canva who at the end double your earnings by offering unlimited download. They did it with success, and I am very surprised.
Sad to say this, but the unlimited download thing is inevitable. If Adobe don't offer unlimited, others agencies will, and that would make Adobe less relevance. If old-time-contributor like you and me don't submit to unlimited agencies, other new-contributors will submit. This is not something we can stop even if we wanted to. Supply over demand, what can I say more?
So, Mat Hayward, I wish Adobe can prove many of us wrong, and show us our improved earnings in near future 
I hope you are right...
