Rejected for similar content, similar content being my own images?

In my last submission I uploaded a set of files as usual: 1 eps, 1 png and 1 svg, let's says it was 15 illustrations. For some reason, one of each(!) files was rejected, so image1.eps, image2.png and so on, with the same reason — Similar content in our collection. But why? And how? If there is similar content, all of the images (of the same illustration) would fall under that, but it's only one, and at random. So I assume the system automatically(?) accepted my images and then flaged the next one as similar to the previous one, that's the only explanation I can think of since each file type is different. 

What's the deal here and what do I even do?

This is a common issue and has been for the last few months. You are not alone. Search the forum for 'similar content.' Sometimes the refusal is accurate, sometimes not. It's a grin and bear situation.

Similarity rejection is not limited to asset content.
Assets may be rejected if they have the same title or keywords.
