Adobe Stock should introduce asset reviews/ratings to help weed-out sub-standard assets

Attention Adobe Support, and Adobe Stock users

My purpose of this post is to help maintain a higher level of quality for Adobe Stock.

I have been an Adobe Stock subscriber for some time. I recently downloaded an asset (File No: 1583246439) that was atrocious quality! You couldn't tell from the raster thumbnail, but as soon as I opened the vector asset, it was as though someone had used auto-trace on a low res asset, and then applied 'simplify'. Take a look at some of the close-up screen-shots attached.

This asset should at the very least be removed! But how would Adobe know without users having an easy method of reporting sub-standard assets? I never experienced this on other stock-subscription platforms in the past — they seem to have a better process of vetting quality.

 

The only options for reporting an issue are:
1. if content contains the names of people (including artists' names)
2. Content may infringe on IP rights (such as copyright, design, or trademark rights, model or property rights)

The Idea
A simple star rating on assets could help users know with certainty that the asset has been downloaded and well-received. It would be even better if users could report an issue directly to Adobe Stock via the Report Issue button, and return anything that qualifies as a sub-standard asset. The user who uploaded the sub-standard asset could be given a warning, and perhaps after multiple offenses, said user is penalized.

Why is this important to me?
I am a professional. Time is money, and sub-standard assets waste my time. Credits also cost money. I expect that assets I download off Adobe Stock meet a higher level of quality. Vector assets that have mangled details should NOT be allowed on this platform.

Details on the file I downloaded below

File No: 1583246439

Asset Name: People walking silhouettes, crowd top view elements, white outline figures, vector human design, urban planning illustration, street figure collection, pedestrian set, isometric character bundle
