Is there a way to report poor quality vector stock?

In the last year or two, the quality of stock vectors available have gone down significantly. Only after downloading the stock are you able to see that it’s an embedded image and not a vector, it is a very low quality image trace of an image, or it is filled with artifacts indicative to AI. Are there ways that I’m unaware of to report said stock?

    ​@Brittanie5E15, 

    Adobe doesn’t monitor this Contributor user-to-user forum. Repost your concerns/complaints in the Stock buyer’s forum below where an Adobe employee is more likely to see it. Be sure to include the asset ID number and the reason it was unusable.

    Keep in mind that auto-traced vectors are not strictly prohibited. And neither is GenAI. When used correctly with proper paths & anchor points, they can be very effective tools. But rasters are not allowed in vector graphics. That’s a legitimate quality problem that merits an internal review.

    If you include the asset number here, we can loop in an Adobe rep who will ask the Moderation Team to take a look at it. If it is a flawed image, they will give you a credit.
