Hi, guys I am seening-Similar content in our collection
on almost every image(PNGs) 
these images do AI created but I have work on them with clean-ups and fixes  
i have attached a screenshot and all of them has same issue,  I have had good acceptance ratio compared to rejection but from last few months  i am seening this error alot and my rejects are increasing and since that I have not submited anything yet, I am afraid my rejects will grow more. 
I have  seen so many new contrinutors submiting these types of content and they are on top salers 
I am a contributor for 2 years  I dont know I am doing something wrong or  what is the issue. my sales are all time lowest since I am not submitting due to this
what should I do.

dont know whats wrong with them, when I submit my best work they are just sitting in review, I submitted above 100 EPS of effects but its been 4 months and they have not reviewed them, atleast they can give priority to non-AI files

This issue is different from your original post. There seems to be a bug in the submission queue that makes that some assets don't get to a moderator. This bug affects all of us. The solution is either to wait and to hope, or to delete and resubmit. Some suggest that for resubmitting you should change the filename. 

 

However, you need also to know that the submission time shown is indeed the upload time. So if the asset sits around for three months before you submit, it will start with a 3 months timestamp, instead of a 5 minutes time stamp. Formerly, that was not an issue, but with the submission limits, it is.

 

And I agree, priority should go to real assets, and not generative AI assets, as those submitting real asset don't clogue the submission queue. But that is not as Adobe looks at it. We have to live with this.

The similar refusal is haunting all of us. Put more effort in the metadata, and see if that helps.

The first thing you are doing wrong is asking for help where help has been given. As @daniellei4510 has said, searcg this forum for recent posts. We have probably answered a hundred contributors with the same question.

Some of your images are definitely similar to others already in the database, such as the cherry, the mug of coffee, the glass of beer and probably others. They are not unique, and I suppose Adobe think that the thousands of similar images that already exist in the database offer Buyers enough choices.

Do some searches for similar content on this forum. It's been an issue for numerous contributors for a few months now.
