Rejection process quality

The image rejection process doesn't seem to be working properly. I've accumulated a large number of rejected photos, and here are my thoughts.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REFUSAL – Sometimes this rejection is justified, but not very often. I'd say around 70% of these rejections seem to have no valid basis at all. For example, I have a photo showing nothing more than a path, an ordinary bench, and a small part of a completely ordinary building visible through the trees—and it was rejected. Or a distant cityscape where there are no recognizable or iconic buildings. In many cases, it's impossible to understand what intellectual property rights are supposedly being violated.

AESTHETIC OR COMMERCIAL APPEAL OF IMAGE – This one can also be surprising. Interesting and well-composed photos are sometimes rejected for questionable reasons. To be fair, this has become less common recently.

IMAGE OUT OF FOCUS – This one really puzzles me. I check my images very carefully and almost never submit photos that are actually out of focus.

EXPOSURE PROBLEM – Photos that are intentionally created as silhouettes or with exposure focused on a specific subject are rejected far too often.

QUALITY ISSUES – This is by far the strangest rejection reason. I carefully review my images before submitting them, so I don't upload poor-quality photos. Of course, I accept that I might occasionally overlook a problem, but certainly not at the rate they're being rejected.

Photos taken in fog, at night, or during snowfall almost never get accepted. Even images shot from a tripod at ISO 100 are frequently rejected. Night cityscapes, landscapes photographed from inside a dark room with the dark interior framing a bright outdoor scene, and similar creative compositions often get rejected. If the mountains in the background are perfectly sharp but the grass in the foreground is intentionally out of focus, the image is rejected.

At this point, I honestly don't know whether the problem is with the AI screening system or with the human reviewers. Either way, the overall review process feels very inconsistent and often simply wrong.

I know this post probably won't change anything, but I still wanted to share my experience.
