Most of my uploads are being rejected

I've been contributing to Adobe Stock for quite a while now and have always tried to follow the guidelines and submit quality content.

Lately though, every single upload has been getting rejected. At first, I thought it was because I was uploading GenAI content, so I started creating more unique images with different angles, perspectives, and compositions. But the rejections keep coming, even for images that I genuinely feel are better than some of my previously accepted work.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Any idea what might be causing it or what I should change? I'd really appreciate any advice.

No photo to be seen. Of course, if they’re similar content rejections as opposed to quality rejections, we’re more limited on what advice we can give.

Well...we would need to see the full-sized images to really be of help, but again, many are plagued with the similar content rejections. As for the hamburger and fries, a search for same yields over 2 million 500 thousand, so those would most likely get a similar content rejection. Man meditating is fairly well covered at over 800,000. I’m seeing a couple of near duplicates (the dandelion, the heart, the raised hands). Were these edited and resubmitted?

The issue of increasing rejection rates has been happening for nearly 1.5 years. Many of the rejections appear to be unjustified, and have lead some of us to curtail our uploads. It’s just too time consuming to edit, upload, title and keyword images just to have them rejected for no good reason,,,,

Yes I was getting similar content rejection nearly 1.5 years but recently it increased too much.

Best we can tell you is to upload a couple of the rejected assets here. We can take a look and maybe be of assistance. But yes, some contributors have been experiencing more rejections than usual.
