I miss a Youtube channel whitelist feature. This is very bad waiting on YouTuibe for checking my videos every time I upload anything.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Barbi. We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding a YouTube channel whitelist. We understand that manually checking each video can be time-consuming. Please consider the Premium Beat (https://www.pond5.com/search?kw=&media=music&collection=premiumbeat) library, which is owned by Shutterstock; we can easily clear those claims. If there is anything we can assist you with, feel free to email us at support@pond5.com.
One of the best stock media sites since years
I always got what I paid for. They have fair subscription plans and their media licenses usually include perpetual worldwide coverage across all platforms, including TV and movies which other sites cover only with additional high prices.

They Have Free Media
Pond5 is really fair with their setup. They have a wide variety of content. The price points vary a lot too. I think Pond5 works for any budget, they even have a free media area (video, photos, and music).

Nice quality, but pricey
Nice quality of the video, but it's too pricey in general unless received a discount code.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Man; as a partner in production, your opinion means a great deal to us.
As business needs change, pricing can be affected. Pond5 does its best to stay competitive whilst providing alternative pricing options to help in these uncertain economic conditions. As a marketplace, we enable our individual artists to choose a pricing tier for their content or set their own prices. We feel that this is the fairest way for them to take into consideration the time, money, and equipment used to produce their work. However, we do offer some alternative price-friendly options for our buyers with the Subscription program.
Subscriptions include ten downloads per month from a special collection featuring many of our top artists — all for one low price. You will need to filter your searches to see only the files available in the Subscription Collection. You can find out more here: https://www.pond5.com/subscriptions. This program creates more exposure for our artists' work, but, in turn, would sell their content at a lower price. It is completely optional for our artists to take part, which is why not all content on the marketplace can be offered at this discounted price. Again, as we are a marketplace for creative production, please know that the content doesn't belong to Pond5, and therefore, we can't always offer it at a lower price. We would recommend using our price filters on the search page if you decide to buy content from the marketplace individually or "à la carte." This way, you can find content within your budget right away.
Our newsletters occasionally have promotions, including a free weekly Clip offering, so please check that your Email Preferences are set to receive them. We offer Pre-Paid Credit Packages with free Bonus Credits with our larger packages (https://www.pond5.com/credit-packages). We also host one of the largest and most openly accessible collections of completely free Public Domain content for you to use. Link to our Public Domain page: https://www.pond5.com/free.
I hope this information was helpful! If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@pond5.com.
