I have to say that I was very disapointed today when I read about this year's bonus program. In 2024 I have over 1000 downloads but unfortunately I only had 147 approved new assets. Three short of the minimum! Talk about a kick in the teeth. 😞
I really wish that Adobe would have told us ahead of time about the new requirement (new assets going up from 20 to 150) and not after the fact after it's too late to do anything about it. I have many more files that I could have uploaded but my last two submissions took almost 3 months to get approved so I was hesitant to upload more. I'm not very happy right now.

I agree that the parameters of an incentive program should be revealed in advance so that participants know what to aim for. Though we don't have a lot of control over how many are sold, other than focusing on quality and entering useful titles and keywords, we certainly can focus on number of uploads if that is a known goal.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you on my behalf. I think there is a software bug in the bonus program. I sent an e-mail to the contributor e-mail address about this, I think I received a detailed but automated message.

I can't write in detail here to avoid direct abuse. If you can send me a private message, I can also report it here.

I thought they would see it even if they didn't reply. Thank you.
