No one is reviewing and approving submitted images anymore?

In the same boat. Have had a bunch of assets in review since March. Would've not been an issue if there was no cap on the number of submissions of images to get reviewed, but since there is a cap on that, I have only been able to get my first batch of images approved so far in 4 months and haven't been able to send more for review either so its safe to assume it will take months more before I can submit again after the current batch is processed. I just dont want to upload batches only 3-4 times a year, which is how it is going at the current rate. Hope the reviewing process gets sped up or at least the submissions be open so we can have a continuous flow of images denied or accepted.

Hi there, 

I too am awaiting approvals on images that are 3-4 months old. 

I have contacted Adobe, via email, to discuss the matter and today I received an email that said:

Which is somewhat frustrating. 

I'm sure they're working on getting everything sorted, but I think they've dropped the ball a little. Getty are facing the same issues and they're on top it it. 

Maybe they should all have a chat and share techniques. 

Review time varies based on how many assets were ahead of yours in the wait queue.  Stock receives thousands of submissions each week.  Summer vacation season could be another factor. 

You are a supplier. You are not a customer. You need to beg Adobe to get more staff to check and possibly refuse your assets. Adobe (the company, not me) is doing very well with the submissions. They add thousands of assets to the database per day, and they are selling. Even non-AI assets are selling better than before. 

My wife waited a year for her new car. It's not Adobe alone. 

Adobe needs to protect its customers from bad assets, so moderators have to be trained, to detect bad assets. That doesn't happen with a snip of your fingers. If you want to drop out, you're welcome. Because many contributors are making very well here.

Adobe Stock Moderators are adding over a million approved images to the database every week, so they're definitely doing their job. The huge backlog and long delays have occurred due to the massive influx of Generative AI assets. If Adobe felt that hiring huge numbers of additional Moderators was economically justifiable, they would surely do so. I suppose that if the majority of AI assets waiting to be reviewed are of high quality, and AI is selling at a high rate, they would hire more Moderstors, and perhaps they already have.

I have myself about 15 pics waiting for review, some easily there for over a month. But to my surprise a couple of fresh ones got reviewed in just 2 days. But these were somewhat of a "unique" subject. Perhaps they are selective in what they review (maybe some AI pre-review the subject and if already too many of that subject, they put them on a back burner)? Just a hunch.
