Getting loads of my photos removed all of a sudden. Some years old, with little assistance in the rejection as to why.

 

Seems really frustrating the process, for something that gives pittance anyways.

 

insert loads of poor quality photos on Stock,l.

 

I have read the terms and still confused as to why some of these photos are all of a sudden ombeing pulled.

 

is the internal audit just an algorithm?

Adobe are removing duplicates. We have received official confirmation of this. (On Adobe Stock's Discord server, just a short time ago.) Have a look in your portfolio and you should be able to find these files still online, with different file numbers from the ones that were move to the Not Accepted tab.

Thank you for your responses. I just feel that maybe Adobe could be a little clearer in their communications. If it just said Audit Removal: Quality or Audit Removal:Duplicate, people would be more informed.

Sure, but my guess is, that they will use this refusal reason for all audits that they will do: IP, quality, duplicates, ... You name it, they'll do it. 

 

If they would have posted the message beforehand, and also here (hey @Raul Ceron29343509 ), it would have been much easier to explain, also for us.

I've read the announcement, but what I've seen were assets with quality issues. So either those were also duplicates in the Adobe sense, or they did not tell all on Discord.

Ill post some of the offending images shortly.  Just very vague as to what the problem is when they say about not conforming to terms.

Like all their refusals, it's fast...

There are many people reporting this audit. Some report that duplicates have been removed, with some others, where we saw the asset, we determined that they had quality issues. It's always the same audit message. I doubt that the audit is just an algorithm, but they surly have help from an algorithm.

The photos probably have "Quality Issues". Upload one or two here and we can help.
