Bulk upload

[Sobhy_AI]

Hello there, 

I was working for months on midjourney and i made so many high quality images, it is arroung 80K assets.

I followed every rule while generating the images so i 100% sure it is all suitable for the platform.

My question is: is that a promblem to upload all of these assets In sequence, i mean the limit is 501 so if i upload till the limit and when they accept it i upload another 501 frequently. is that going to consider as a spam? or it is okay if the images are different and very high quality. 

And i need an explanation for what is the spam exactly, i read it in terms but i don't know if i got it correctly.

That is a LOT of assets. It took me two and half years to submit nearly 5000 AI assets. Without actually seeing your images, if you have 80K assets that you believe are ready for submission, then I suspect there are a number of very similar images, which would indeed be classified as spamming. But again, I haven't seen your images. I know it is possible to accumulate a lot of AI assets prior to becoming a contributor, but it does sound like you may need to take care going forward.

[Sobhy_AI]

I am not working alone we are a team and that took a lot of time to make and filter the high quality images, also we took a while organizing the topics, and i am totally sure there is no more than two variation of each image. we are expert with AI since the begining of midjourney and Stable diffusion as well

[daniellei4510]

If I could count the number of accounts run by a "team" that have been disabled, I'd run out of fingers, even if they were created by AI and I had six of them on each hand.

[Sobhy_AI]

And why exactly the disable these accounts, One person who moderate the upload process, We don't violate any of the terms. We own all the rights of each image.

[daniellei4510]

"We" is the operative word here.

[Jill_C]

Have you actually read the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement? You are clearly in violation of clause 4.

[Sobhy_AI]

@daniellei4510 @Jill_C 

Yeah and it says that i have to own the rights of my submitions and i do.

So where is the promblem of having someone helping me in generating the images!.

I am really asking, i am not arguing in a bad way i just want to know.

[Jill_C]

It's quite simple. Intellectual Property belongs to the creator of the asset.

[Sobhy_AI]

Just to clarify this, In generating AI images, there are many steps ... prompt ideation, generating images, filtering, upscaling, adding metadata, and uploading. I write the prompts and filter what’s good and suitable for the platform, while others handle the remaining steps. So, is that still a problem?

[Jill_C]

Yes

[Sobhy_AI]

Why? I made every image so i own it. the other steps is not important or make the images belongs to someone else

[daniellei4510]

As long as you, and you alone made them, and you, and you alone, edited them, the assets are yours and there should be no problem. But I am curious how you are planning to pay your team. There are rare exceptions, but stock is not the get rich quick scheme YouTube contributors would like to have people believe it is. Even if all of your 80,000 assets, submitted in sets of 501 (it's rare these days that a contributor will have all 501 assets reviewed at once...more like maybe 10 to 20), were reviewed DAILY, and followed by a submission of 501 more assets, also reviewed all at once, it will still take you about 1/3rd of a year to have all of your assets reviewed.

@daniellei4510 

Yeah as I said, I generated each image.
I know that it’s going to take a while to even start making money from this, and I have other businesses. I’m not sure if I can mention other brand names here or not, but I’ve been working on POD for a while, and I can manage the team.

[daniellei4510]

I'm going to do some more math, based on my own experience, which is an average of 20 assets accepted per day (and that's a stretch, considering I never have assets accepted on weekends anymore). Now granted, anecdotally, some contributors do have hundreds of assets accepted at one time, but I think Adobe is moving away from that. And this calculation does not include the possibility of waiting up to three months to have your first set of assets (and assets in between) from being reviewed.
 

[Sobhy_AI]

@daniellei4510 

Well, my first assets took 4 days to be accepted. I have almost 2000 assets in my portfolio within a month with (96% acceptance rate), so they accept a lot more than 20 daily. From my research, the limit will be 3001 after 100 downloads, and it also takes just a week to accept more than 1500 assets. Your calculation might be right, but not in all cases. In my case, it is totally different. And this is a long-term business; I don't want to make thousands of dollars in a small amount of time. And I don't know why you guys are so suspicious about the number. If it is not good quality, they will be rejected, and my account will get banned, so I know what I am doing. i just asked for something and you all got into another thing!!

[daniellei4510]

We're suspicious based on our experience with other contributors who have lost their accounts due to a massive number of uploads. And they often mentioned "teams" or "my family" or "my friends." We were simply basing our concerns on previous examples of AI spammers. It's why the 51/501/3001 limits were put into place. The limits are relatively new, and it used to be a free-for-all, with some contributors devising programs to create, title, keyword and upload thousands of images on what was basically an automated 24/7 process. So there is some history involved with regard to our responses.

[Sobhy_AI]

I'm okay with that but not all of users has no experience with graphic designs and just spamming. I'm working as a graphic design for 8 years, also i worked for 11 months just for this project to make something good and last for years. i can guarantee the quality of my assets that it is really good and different

[Abambo]

And I don't know why you guys are so suspicious about the number.

By @Sobhy_AI

We are not suspicious, we know about contributors with basically your playbook that got banned weeks after posting here their accomplishments.

i just asked for something and you all got into another thing!!

By @Sobhy_AI

Your question has been answered multiple times. First by @daniellei4510 here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/bulk-upload/m-p/15056854#M94052, here by @Jill_C , who gave you the definition of spam: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/bulk-upload/m-p/15056868#M94053, here by me where I confirmed that you can upload as many assets you want and that you can submit as many as possible: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/bulk-upload/m-p/15057175#M94054.

The rest is free advice, you take it or you let it go. The account with 60k assets, and automatic AI generation and submission also did have a low rejection rate, according to that contributor. Weeks later the account got suspended. 

As a matter of fact, it is not possible for you to check that many assets for quality. It's a simple impossibility. And one small glitch of a serious matter can be the end of your account. There is no harm done to me, nor Jill, nor Daniellei, nor to the tripple question marks. 

Have a happy New Year and much success in 2025.

Spam is too many similar images, which is defined as more than 3 of the same theme that are largely the same.

[Sobhy_AI]

Alright, Thank you

[Jill_C]

What do you mean by "we are working as a team"? The Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement requires you, the individual Contributor, to create and own full rights to every image you submit.

[Sobhy_AI]

I own all the rights for every image

[? ??]

First of all, I hope your business is doing well. It's a short article,
but I think you are telling too many lies. You are a businessman, not an artist.
You have no concept of intellectual property rights. In some articles, you say that "I made every image so i own it". and in others, you emphasize "team" and "we".
Adobe's terms and conditions state that you should not upload photos taken by your spouse. Think carefully about what that means.
And the law is for contingencies. Especially if you hire low-wage workers from third world countries that don't have tax treaties with the US and then pay them a profit after you create your artwork. Adobe has no idea.
Now, you answer the question. Have you already paid your team all their work? Or are you going to pay them in the future? Can you prove their nationality? That's just your claim.

[? ??]

You claim that you own all the rights to the images, which doesn't matter because they are a given. But the person who sold you the paintings may also own all the rights to the images.
