How to reach Adobe contributors directly or their managers - these kind of rejections have to stop.

I am encountering interesting rejections: Adobe accpets first 3 of my images, then uses them as the basis of the rejecting all the rest of the images in the batch.
first two images are the results oof my search- I find my own three images( each of the the batches of 15 or 20 or so different angles etc.) the last image is my not accepted tab in contributor's account where all these are "similar content rejected".

this is ridiculous, I thought Adobe was better than that? Are they biased or just their AI is so programmed?
similar issue i found when I have uploade Poland, Cuba, Dominican Republic,  UK etc. they use first 3-54 images of the uploader- or it seem so  obviously and then reject the batches.

I know I know i can upload to different agecies( which I do and with great success) but ADOBE? common.

You don't.  Managers & Reviewers don't respond in this user-to-user forum.

 

Reviewers decisions are final and there's no appeals process.  Contributors have no direct contact with Reviewers for a reason. It's to keep personalities out of the equation.  

 

To avoid refusals for "similar content," be more selective about which assets you submit from a series. 

Read the section below on variations & similar content.

Similars rejections can refer to both how many similars you submit for the same subject as well as how many similar images are already in the database from other Contributors. It's not a perfect process, and if you read some of the many other posts in the forum on this topic, you'll learn that many other Contributors have complained about the flaws in the Moderation process. Unfortunately, there's nothing we as Contributors can do about it. It's the "new normal" here in Adobe Stock. You might have better luck if you only submit one image from a site at a time, and wait a few days to submit the next one. 

 

Adobe definitely prefers a "slow but steady" approach to submissions. I only submit 4-6 on any one day, and spread out my submissions from the same subject or location over multiple batches. I would never consider submitting 50+ assets at one time.

The suggested limit of the same subject with various angles, perspectives, composition has always been three.

Thank you. But, are you saying that only 3 different angles of the same monument is allowed among thousands of contributors or three images of the same object per user???? I think I did not understand your answer. Just by looking at these images I see more than 3. I also see many angles from same users or i am not getting it?

As my signature says, I don't make the rules; I just try to explain them. And I assume the rule is loosely applied depending on the moderator and other factors (see bullet point #1 below). And yes, most here generally agree that there is an AI "gatekeeper" that rejects images for similar content, most likely based on repetitive keywords and titles. Sometimes it gets it right, often times it gets it wrong.
