Similar content

The algorithm used to find similar content seems a bit odd. I'm new here, and of the 39 vectors I've uploaded so far, 8 have been rejected and the remaining 31 are still under review. I have a feeling I know what will happen with them. I searched for the rejected images as a user at Adobe Stock (find similar by content) to see if the results would be similar to mine, but nope, not even close!

I think the only way to (try to) change things about how this algorithm works is complaining, here and via contact (i did it yesterday):

1. You should have left the approved asset alone. 

2. Re-submitted assets are not guaranteed to be approved the 2nd time. That's the risk you take when deleting & re-submitting.

2. Pay closer attention to titles, keywords & descriptions at submission time. 

Acceptance standards are constantly changing as the approval bar gets higher & higher.  Stock is assessing for 'similar content' now.  See below.

It happens because Adobe's algorithm for catching similars is deeply flawed. The only thing you can do is to alter the image slightly, including the title and keywords and resubmit. Perhaps it will then pass, but if it doesn't don't keep submitting it repeatedly hoping for a better outcome, because that is considered spamming.

Sorry, we cant give you an answer. The criteria on how "similar content" is judged has changed and now several submitted assets  are being rejected.
