Similarity rejection

Rejected due to similarity. I can't find similar illustrations in Adobe's database. The reviewer's thoughts on similarity are interesting. It's probably not worth wasting any more time and uploading anything to the judo category, because all possible judo scenes are covered. Note: illustration titles and keywords are specific to these illustrations and the ones I uploaded earlier

thanks for the advice. I couldn't find any similar images with the same position of the judokas. Does the similarity mean a scene with two men in standard judo uniforms - white and blue judogi - wrestling while standing and holding each other's kimonos? If so, there are many such illustrations, but that's where the similarity ends. By this logic, you can stop uploading wrestling scenes altogether.

Regardless of the subject, some contributors in fact indeed have stopped submitting, or at least slowed down considerably.

It's quite possible a moderator never saw your assets, as some here suspect that a bot is making the similar content rejections. You can try resubmitting, with revised titles and keywords, but there is still not guarantee they will pass.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it. Because it really looks like the behavior of a bot that doesn't understand the topic and the complexity of creating scenes with people.

Adobe thinks that their approch to this problem is the correct one. They are still growing their database. I doubt that it will lead to more unique assets, but we have to cope with this, as it is not going to disapear anytime soon.
