The warning: SIMILAR CONTENT IN OUR COLLECTION

I received the warning, "SIMILAR CONTENT IN OUR COLLECTION" as attached.

However, as creators, we always believe that even with similar works, there's invariably some improvement compared to our past creations, and continuously updating our portfolio on Adobe's globally recognized platform is also a great pleasure. Therefore, we find their logic difficult to accept.

I hope Adobe will reconsider this policy.

Who is "we" in this post. You should really only use "we" when you are speaking for a group. I am not opposed to similarity scrutinity given, that some contributors are really spamming the system, especially generative AI contributors.

When some contributors submit a large number of very similar or repetitive images, it leads to a tightening of the acceptance criteria.

Indeed, because of these excesses, Adobe has strengthened its moderation to fight against the overload of almost identical content. As a result, even serious artists, who share original, quality content, now have their images rejected.
It hurts the whole community.

Read the Announcement which is the top post in this forum. As @daniellei4510 said, these types of very similar images is NOT how Adobe wants to populate the database. Pick the best 3 and upload those. Leave the others in the reject pile

Over 2,700 of my works have been certified.
And users are downloading different works with similar themes.

It seems nonsense to me to choose my best 3 at this point.

If Moderators reject them as too similar. no one will be buying them! Read both the post that I referenced as well as the Adobe Stock help pages relating to similars. You are wasting your time generating and uploading such similar images.

Sorry, but while I have been very outspoken against the new "too similar" issue (I've had 106 such rejections since it was implemented), these examples are exactly what Adobe is trying to put an end to. Three of these would have been sufficient in the overall scheme of things.
