Question

not a single picture was sold for all time

Hello! I have encountered a situation – I upload my images to various photo stocks, but my largest library is on Adobe Stock. On other photo stocks (where I have far fewer images), my pictures sell quite well, whereas on Adobe Stock, I haven’t had a single sale so far. Could I find out if my account is blocked or if there is something wrong with it? Should I continue uploading photos here if they ultimately won’t appear in search results for other people?

There isn't a lot that stands out in your portfolio. In order to have great sales, you have to provide what the market wants! There is an enormous amount of competition these days, even more so with the advent of AI generative images, of which you have a lot.

You have to think outside the box!

To continue uploading, well, only you can make that decision! (Think about the time spent vs. the revenue you get back.)

I assume that there is not as much competition on the other photo stock sites. I looked at your portfolio's first page. Alot of the images have rendering errors that a buyer might not want. Also, 800 images is not alot. Remember, there is alot of competition.

Backgrounds, fruits, vegetables, and a lot of similars - I'm not seeing a lot of unique content in your portfolio. Compare some of your assets to other assets with the same keywords in the Buyer portfolio to understand how much competition you have.  With 246 million AI assets in the database, it gets more and more difficult to stand out and find unique niches.
