Reject for Quality Issues

For the past month, I have been uploading 100 images per week, but my images are always rejected due to quality issues and similar content, with quality issues being the most common reason for rejection. Previously, 60-70 of the 100 images I uploaded were always accepted. I use Nano Banana to create AI images. Have there been any changes to the rules or other reasons for this? Here is an example of an image that was rejected due to quality issues:

Sorry for image error.

Still cannot see anything. Must be a glitch with the system.

The images can still be downloaded, though.

Read your Contributor User Guide carefully to ensure you fully understand what's expected.

Before you submit, compare your highest quality work with current Stock inventory.

To get accepted, it has to be 1) something Stock needs and 2) better than what they're currently selling.

Hope that helps.

I get the same error. I will need to check if it is because I'm checking the assets on my iPad, or if it is a new general issue for my account.

Saw the error on another post yesterday, and on another one just now. I think it's a bug on Adobe's end.

You are experiencing what many others are experiencing, by both photographers and AI contributors alike...but I'm guessing the latter especially. With nearly half the database filled with AI assets, it has become increasingly difficult to create what hasn't been created before. As for quality issues, one thing I have often done and continue to do is provide ample room for copy, which is lacking in these examples. If the buyer doesn't need that room, it's easier to crop out than to add.

Then what should I do? I will try to be more careful and choose the best pictures to upload, but I am afraid to upload again because if this problem happens again and again, it will greatly reduce my acceptance rate and affect my account.

We know of no one who has lost their account due to an excess of rejected assets due to quality issues, and certainly not for similar content rejections. We have always suggested trying to maintain a minimum of a 50% acceptance rate. Too much lower than that, and it becomes questionable if it's worth one's time. But that is up to the individual to decide.
