Winter Donut_Similar content in our collection

I created a Winter Donut in Adobe Illustrator. The icing is AI generated. My image was rejected because of the following:Similar content in our collection.

 

Can anybody explain why it was rejected?

    Many rejections due to "similar content" occur because the titles or keywords used are identical to those of assets already registered on Adobe Stock.
    You can avoid this by adding descriptive terms to your titles and keywords.
    However, if a large number of similar assets are already registered, it is better to create content based on a different theme.
    Assets will not be purchased unless they appear near the top of search results.
    The key is the theme.

    The keyword Donut has stiff competition for views & sales.

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=donut  1.4 million results

    Are you sure this worth your time & effort?

    Winter, summer, spring or fall...  Donut is the primary keyword, not winter.

    Simple. Do a search for “vector donut” and you’ll not only see similar examples, but examples that include multiple donuts in a single image, giving the assets more value to the buyer.
