When did iStockphoto start to suck?

iStockphoto – once my best friend as a blogger – has been edging its prices up ever since being bought by that larger stock photo company (forget the name).

This really sucks. There is definitely a market for a stock photo site that charges $1 per shot given the growth of blogs. iStockphoto.com used to be just great for that. Now its up to $1.40 per credit, minimum of 10 credits, and most of the decent shots (i.e. shots better than a Google search) are 5+ credits! WTF…

Clearly there’s an opportunity here to re-create the original iStockphoto with inexpensive shots made for the rest of us.

Why can’t people figure out this democratic “crowd source” concept…jeezus…

    What the fu^&*%$$ is your problem? Are you seriously telling me you can't afford $10 for some quality shots for your stupid blog???? Unreal! I'm sure your on your way to high success in blogging (amateur). You get top notch images for less then your daily Starbucks. Where the f**&%% are you living, trailer park?

    It should be...
