Why adobe won't accept any of my images? They are all rejected for a reason "Similar content in our collection". I posted around 150 images, and the reviewing proces is too slow, but at the end - they are all rejected.

This is what Stock says about 'similar content.'

Try to choose more unique content, keywords & titles.

Yes, until they make that AI better at recognizing the "similar images" I will switch to vectors. I did some tests and it's all over the place. You will get rejected on something that is unique but get accepted on something that has 100 pages of the same stuff.

The "similar content" rejection is extremely common anymore and has been for the last few months. Search the forum for "similar content" and you will see you are not the only one frustrated with this common reason for rejection. On the other hand, if you are submitting assets the likes of abstract wallpapers or backgrounds, icons, flowers, etc., these are rejected more often than not.
