I am non-exclusive but I think that they have a lot of buyers who are loyal to istock and will only buy the majority of their images from exclusives. This would explain why exclusives do so well there. Their rejections are about the same as DT for me.
It must be hard for the reviewers to be completely unbiased and I wouldn't be surprised if exclusives get an easier ride but I don't feel there is a big conspiracy.
What disappoints me with istock is the measly 20% commission non-exclusives get. They should raise commissions for everyone. I am sure there are people who wont sell their work for 20%.
