Hello there, 

I was working for months on midjourney and i made so many high quality images, it is arroung 80K assets.

I followed every rule while generating the images so i 100% sure it is all suitable for the platform.

 

My question is: is that a promblem to upload all of these assets In sequence, i mean the limit is 501 so if i upload till the limit and when they accept it i upload another 501 frequently. is that going to consider as a spam? or it is okay if the images are different and very high quality. 

 

And i need an explanation for what is the spam exactly, i read it in terms but i don't know if i got it correctly.

You can upload as many as you want, but you are limited to submitting to the moderation queue. And no, per se, submitting to the moderation queue is not considered as spam, but if the assets are too similar, that will be spam. And spam assets start with the fourth similar image but to have consequences for account blocking, you need to submit more similar images. There is no published threshold, but I suppose it is nearer to 50 assets than 5,000 assets.

 

As for spam, you will need to study this carefully, as it describes very well, what spam is: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/similar-vs-spamming.html

 

So now to your 80k assets.

You say that you worked for months, so let's assume that's 6 months. 6 months is 183 days, that's 4,392 hours, but you have to sleep, eat, do other things, let's deduct 8 hours per day for that.  That leaves you around 2,928 hours of work, or 175,680 minutes. That leaves exactly 2 minutes 12 seconds to check each asset for errors and similarity. I doubt that that is possible. So, what lets you think that your assets are high quality?

 

(As a side note: I know of a contributor with only 60,000 assets who got blocked, because of some violation of the terms. Walking through all those assets again, to see what assets were in violation, is an impossible task.)

We are a team; I am not working alone. I know that’s a lot for one person to make. Also, there are some steps we automated to make the process faster. However, I am sure that every single image was checked well, and we didn’t make a lot of variations of each prompt 2–3 in most cases. I just wanted to know if, when they accept it quickly (not in 8 weeks), that means I can upload a lot in a small amount of time. Would they consider that spamming or not? Finally, I know that quality is more important than quantity, but we focused on both.

If more than one person is creating and uploading images in your account, you are in violation of Adobe's terms and conditions,

Spam is too many similar images, which is defined as more than 3 of the same theme that are largely the same.

What do you mean by "we are working as a team"? The Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement requires you, the individual Contributor, to create and own full rights to every image you submit.

That is a LOT of assets. It took me two and half years to submit nearly 5000 AI assets. Without actually seeing your images, if you have 80K assets that you believe are ready for submission, then I suspect there are a number of very similar images, which would indeed be classified as spamming. But again, I haven't seen your images. I know it is possible to accumulate a lot of AI assets prior to becoming a contributor, but it does sound like you may need to take care going forward.

I am not working alone we are a team and that took a lot of time to make and filter the high quality images, also we took a while organizing the topics, and i am totally sure there is no more than two variation of each image. we are expert with AI since the begining of midjourney and Stable diffusion as well

If I could count the number of accounts run by a "team" that have been disabled, I'd run out of fingers, even if they were created by AI and I had six of them on each hand.
