Waited 19 days for Adobe stock to review my first 10 images

Hey guys, I've read all the other posts on here and it seems like it can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to have my first batch of images reviewed for adobe stock. 

 

I've waited 19 days now and I still haven't heard anything. Is there someone I can contact, or a common reason why this might be delayed?

Depends on the type of assets you submitted. 

 

On average, Photos & Vector Graphics are reviewed in 5  - 10 business days.
Generative AI llustrations could take 1-2 months or perhaps longer if you didn't follow AI submission guidelines.

For now seems like it take at least more than 3 weeks. I uploaded 100 images a month ago and it took 3 weeks for review, but now I have 500 images in review and after 3 weeks they are still on review. I think review time will increase in future because of tons of new artists who want to earn "easy money".

That's a bit disappointingly in case if I made a mistake, when uploaded one of images that are still on review, I can repeat this mistake, because I don't know about it and all future arts will be rejected while they don't text me about this mistake.

If these are illustrations/AI generative, then expect 2-3 months. I think you have the cause exactly right. But I don't think Adobe will consider it is good for profits to just hire hundreds of new moderators either.

Generative AI? It can take months to get your assets moderated.

Illustrations: you are unfortunately in the same queue.

Photos/vectors: 1 day, up to 10 days.

    If you read the contributors forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors/ct-p/ct-Stock-Contributors?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all you will see that almost the only subject of discussion is delays to reviews. It's believed this is due to an AI Generative "gold rush". Where people would once have submitted a 10 great photos at a time, people now submit 100 or 1000 AI generated files, which has thrown everything out. Adobe aren't likely to increase the number of moderators, but I suspect they may put chokes on the number of images that can be submitted, especially by new users with few sales.
