Is it allowed do create 2 accounts and more for Adobe Stock contributor? Accounts for different topics.

Honestly, if I decided to start dabbling in Generative AI, having been a photography contributor for 7 years with a well established account, I would create a new account for AI. Adobe's guidelines for AI submissions have evolved considerably since the beginning of the year, and recently the procedure for dealing with some questionable AI content has been to block the account while their investigation is underway. It seems that the world of AI is still in the "Wild West" stage, with more changes and challenges to come. Obviously, as an experienced Contributor, you would do everything possible to avoid submitting AI assets of inferior quality that violated the guidelines in any way, but why take the risk that your portfolio of traditional assets would also get shut down?

You cannot create multiple accounts for "different topics"; however you can have separate accounts for different asset types. For instance, photographs in one account and Generative AI assets in a separate account. Do NOT create multiple accounts for AI assets. Adobe will shut them down.

Can I create another account to upload AI vectors? I already have one for uploading general AI photos and illustrations.

There are no duplicate images between accounts. I thought uploading
duplicate images would be a problem. I have multiple accounts and uploaded
different ai images. What should I do? Is it better to delete all but one
account?

Looks like circumventing the upload limit which is a serious breach of the rules. 

 

For asking your money, you need to have a tax form. That tax form needs to be accurate. If you ask your payout on one account and a different one, Adobe will see that the same tax form is attached to two and more accounts. You are risking getting your accounts terminated.

Yes, with a small hesitation. You cannot upload the same type of assets to both, and it should not be created for circumventing the upload limit. 

However, it does not make sense to create multiple accounts, because all sales increase your standing here and contribute to your asset placement with the search engine. I wouldn't do this.

For instance, images in one account and videos in another.
