How many active assets do contributors have?

How many active assets do contributors have? Is it normal to submit 20-40 assets from the same photo set? Is it considered spam? Recently, I started posting more content on my page, and I’ve already had 1,500 AI-generated photos accepted in just one month. Now, I have a total of 3,516 approved assets, with another 413 currently under review. I don’t have many downloads yet, even though I believe my images are of decent quality, as there aren’t many similar photos available. However, I’m worried about the future and unsure how to avoid the risk of getting my account suddenly shut down after putting in so much effort to grow my portfolio. Should I be scared or concerned about this? 

 

Can I continue submitting assets without worrying about facing the same issues as other contributors? Or should I submit fewer assets? Generally, I upload a maximum of 20 images in the 2:3 aspect ratio and another 20 in the 3:2 aspect ratio, totaling 40 images from the same set (generated using the same prompt). I aim to grow my channel to at least 10k assets, and then I’ll assess the situation based on how sales are going. Is it possible for me to reach 10k AI assets?

 

Most have a quite large portfolio, with over 100 pages of AI assets, while I’ve only reached 36 pages of AI assets. Can I continue doing the same work as before? Currently, I have an acceptance rate of over 55%, which has increased over time I’m not sure exactly what my acceptance rate is, but I’ll probably achieve 90% when I have at least 10,000 accepted photos and as few rejections as possible

And when will I be banned? Can I be banned if from now on I upload 3-4 images from the same set? If I behave and follow the rules from now on, is there still a chance I could be banned because of my past actions and the images I’ve uploaded previously? I want to be a user who follows the rules.

They won't give you advance knowledge of that. They will ban you, and then you will need to contact them, and then eventually, they will give you a chance to cure your account.

Read the instructions in my link:

As a general rule, don’t submit more than three significant versions of a single motif, unless the complexity of the image calls for more. We’ve found that having a small number of versions can help contributors achieve commercial success.

 

And yes, you could be banned for past actions if you do not correct them now.

So read the rules and understand them.

Spamming the database with too many similars is one of the frequently cited reasons for accounts being suspended. Submitting 40 from the same prompt definitely meets the definition of too many similars. Read Adobe's guidance on this subject in the help pages. There now ~177 million AI assets in the database which is a lot of competition, and that is probably why you haven't achieved a lot of sales. Search in the Buyer portal for some of your images using the keywords on your assets and you'll see what your competition is. If your assets don't appear in the first few pages of search results, buyers will never see them.

I’m not the only one uploading many similar images. I’ve seen plenty of contributors who have 20-30 nearly identical images. They’re not exactly the same, but they belong to the same prompt. With just 2-3 images, you wouldn’t even have a chance to appear with a single image on the first page, so no one would ever find you

My highest selling images, which have sold hundreds of times, are unique in my portfolio - I have uploaded no other similars. Accurate and thorough titles and keywords is what gets your assets high in the search results, not uploading 40 similars. Nevertheless, too many similar is a violation of the guidelines and very much increases your chances of getting your account blocked. I assume that Adobe will eventually develop an AI tool to find and eliminate such similars because they're clogging the database and making the job of finding unique content much harder for the Buyers.

There is at least anecdotal evidence suggesting that submitting an excessive number of AI assets within a small amount of time will get accounts suspended. Submitting a large number of assets similar to one another, along with poorly edited assets, may be the root cause, but we don't know for sure. Images that are similar to each other should be limited to three. Just speculation on my part, but since assets are reviewed by different moderators over a given period of time, they may be unaware of the number of similar images are being submitted until notice is finally taken.

You even double posted. That tracks.
