Just thinking out loud...

Let's say a Contributor submits a ton of garbage (AI or otherwise) that somehow gets approved.

Later, customers complain about quality issues and request refunds.

Does Adobe Stock remove the offending assets?

Does Adobe Stock terminate the contributor account?

I think it is possible for bad assets too get approved. I doubt that these assets will be boughten. If they are, and a buyer complains, Adobe has no choice but too remove the assets. I think it is unlikely that a contributor has several bad assets in his/her portfolio.

Mass submission of bad assets would probably be considered spam and would surely result in a blocked account.

I think stock agencies will need to review there submission policies to stop the flood of AI images.

I saw a contributor having only upscaled images in the portfolio. The camera she used simply had not that resolution. They were all accepted. But that could have been still under the Fotolia umbrella.

Fotolia assets were submitted a long time ago. Quality standards & equipment were not the same as today.

My guess is that Adobe reviews accounts submitting enormous quantities of bad assets.

Could the rise in AI submissions be related to the rise we're seeing in blocked accounts?

I know there's a glut of bad AI assets taking up space in the wait queue.

Could they be taking such a dim view to it that they now regard it as SPAM?

My feeling is: the number of blocked account messages increased with the rise of AI assets. But Adobe added also some lucrative subscriptions. I suppose that some contributors think that it does not stand out, when one user account licences massively from one contributor. And then: there seams also to be an increased amount of contributors wanting to cash in with public domain or otherwise free assets.
