Long Delay in Review of Stock Images

Here's what I believe is the problem and how it might be fixed. There seems to be at least anecdotal evidence that people submitting AI are submitting hundreds of assets at a time, and having those same hundreds of assets accepted within a day or two. In the end, it shouldn't really matter how many assets are submitted, but how many are moderated by a single contributor per day. 

It has gotten really slow in the past few months in my experience as well - used to take a few days, then weeks and now months for approval. I'd wager a guess that they are being flooded with AI generated content given how lenient they are compared to the other major platforms who strictly ban AI submissions. Kinda sad really as Adobe Stock used to be the best, now it looks like polluted AI wasteland.

Many of us are experiencing long delays in content moderation, and no one knows why. We can only speculate that there are perhaps fewer moderators on staff now, or Adobe continues to receive a flood of submissions, or some combination of reasons. I do know that they are adding between 500,000 and 1,000,000 assets to the database every day.

1. Review times can vary from 1 - 3 months depending on the season & how many other assets are ahead of yours in the wait queue.

2. Stock receives thousands of submissions per week.  They have a limited number of Reviewers available to examine them all.

3. Be patient & work on other projects. Everyone must wait their turn.

A large number of contributors are waiting 2 to 3 months for their assets to be reviewed. Your only option at this time is to continue being patient.

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Stock Contributors forum where you are more likely to get answers relevant to your question.
