Hi, I uploaded 44 images and after 8 days I still didn't get any response. I've heard that some people wait even up to 21 days but review in general lasts from 3-5 day. This is my first time, on Stock Contributors so that would be not cool if my photos got rejected right from the get go after long waiting time. I made sure to follow all Adobe guidelines in regards to photos (4K min. no watermark etc.) but still I'm not quite sure if I missed anything.. My Member ID: 211300656 would appreciate it if someone pointed out what's going on, whether it's my account not active or something else.

I would really like to know what type of asset you submitted:
Are they generative AI art? If yes, the backlog is currently around a month.
If they are classic photographic assets, it also appears to be normal, as I suspect that resources have been switched to moderate generative AI assets.
Incidentally: I wouldn't upload 44 assets as a first in a row. If you get 44 refusals for a small correctable error, you won't be happy.
Your account is active as soon as your ID has been approved. As long as that hasn't been done, or when your ID did get rejected, your assets won't enter the moderation queue.

Read through the recent posts. The review times have been commented on several times.

My last image approved yesterday waited 16 days. I still believe that it is not stabilized and is still tending to increase

My last batch of photographs (not AI, not illustrations) were approved in 4 days with no rejects.

It is preferable to submit small batches at a time. I would recommended less than 10. If any are rejected, you can carefully re-inspect them, and possibly re-edit and resubmit. In this slow but steady manner you will learn what quality level Adobe expects and also learn to detect the flaws in your images prior to submission. A continuing high reject rate could get your account blocked, as the cost of moderation is high and Adobe doesn't want to waste their time with a flood of substandard work.

Alright, I deleted all of my photos and added 5 photos that I think would be the best, plus included Generative AI in titles and keywords making sure I follow all the guidelines. I hope my waiting time will be reduced significantly now.

I wouldn't count on it. It's first come, first served. And there is still a huge backlog of AI in the queue.

They will get less probably a refusal, but you will start again at the end of the queue. But anyhow, it was the correct decision because the guidelines are to be followed.
