How Long is Your Queue?

Another week ends and my clips (100) are still awaiting reviews. Starting to get upset.

Keep checking, my last batch (a few days ago) I never received a site mail or e-mail saying they were approved. Looks like things are changing again.

I uploaded a photo 2 weeks ago, more or less as a test, and that was approved, I also got the usual email. All footage uploaded many weeks ago is just sitting uselessly in the queue.

I wish there was a site with focus on quality video/audio with fair prices and royalties which is not online absolutely everywhere else too. Seems Pond5 does like anyone else, trying to sell the very same content by competitive pricing, even the typical stock photos. Even if price can be set by submitter here, they just put the price pressure on the submitter, but attracting submitters by a higher royalty rate (i.e. you earn 2 peanuts here for the same content versus 1 peanut at other site).

Five weeks, about 60 clips are still awaiting reviews

45 and growing since Oct 18th I believe. This seems to be the longest I've waited and I've been selling for just over a year on pond5.

50+ videos waiting 3-4 week. I had many photos uploaded at the same time that we're approved but I would prefer that the videos be reviewed because they sells better than photos - can anyone add insight Into the review process because I was under the impression they were reviewed based on submission date.

Maybe they need to consider daily/weekly/monthly upload limits within their reviewing abilities so contributors are encouraged to limit their uploads to their best and discourage 1000's of redundant or incredibly low interest shots that just make the search results ridiculous anyways.

@jjm0050 - I believe they are based on submission date, it's just that there's 934545403540 clips of ducks and people using iPads ahead of you.

@Atomazul Agreed.
