no one is asleep at the switch. The delay is due to the huge influx of Generative AI assets.  The Moderators approve up to 500,000 of those each week.

Everyone's in the same traffic jam.  Wait times vary depending on how many assets were ahead of yours in the wait queue.

On average, photos & vectors are reviewed in 5-15 days. Illustrations could take 1-3 months on account of Generative AI.

 

For faster turnarounds, submit more photos and videos.

    Yes, if you are waiting only for 6 weeks to get your illustrations refused, then you are the only one. All the other need to wait for up to 3 months.

      I agree, worst idea. It's like lining up for the tickets of the concert of the decade or the new iPhone, and leaving the queue for a coffee. You will be at the end of the queue again!

      Illustrations, including AI, are taking 2 months or more to moderate.

      Because of generative AI. Generative AI contributors can submit 1000s of assets in one day.
