Do I have a few questions about the images approved on Adobe Stock?

Good morning, dear contributors. My name is Virtuoso, and I have gathered a few questions over time that I hope you might be able to help answer—of course, only if you're interested!

Adobe stock 1 question - I have an approved image, and when I click on 'Find Similar' to view similar images, it says the page and content do not exist. Why is this happening?

Adobe stock 2 question - When I click on my contributor page, my recently uploaded images/actives do not appear first in the portfolio. https://stock.adobe.com/ro/contributor/ Shouldn't my latest uploaded and approved images appear at the top, specifically on page 1? They appear specifically on page 3 or 4.

Adobe stock 3 question - When I click on one of my images, for some images, 'More from the series' appears, allowing viewers to see all my images from the same collection. However, for other images, this option does not appear. Why is that?

Adobe Stock 4 question - Question 4: What is the difference between 'Relevance' and 'Featured' when sorting a category? Shouldn't they be the same? Also, what criteria does Adobe Stock use to display certain images on the first pages, while others are shown on later pages or not at all?

Adobe Stock 5 question - Should images be uploaded at an upscale of 8x or 16x, or should they be left at their original size? If images are upscaled too much, they may lose quality. What pixel dimensions do you prefer to upload, and why? Why do people prefer to download content with higher pixel counts? A size of around 2000 pixels should probably be sufficient.

Adobe stock 6 question - How many keywords should I use? Should I limit the number of keywords, or is it better to use more? Does the number of keywords influence the visibility of images to potential buyers? Should there be fewer or more keywords?

3. If the algorithm finds no similar assets in your portfolio, you won't see "more from this series".

5. More is not necessarily better when it comes to upscaling, as it often introduces artifacts.

6. 25-30 keywords is considered the optimum number with the 10 most important ones listed first. Don't try to fill up every keyword slot unless those keywords are required to precisely describe the asset.

To 1: Not sure, it works for me.
To 2: The deafault sort order is "order by downloads". You can change the sort order on the right side of the screen just above the first row of images.
To 3: No idea. I assume, they are not in amn active collection.  You only have two active collections at a time.
To 4. Adobe gives us no information on sort relevance.
To 5. Adobe gives the minimum size. Anything above that should stay at the original size.

2. I want to say here, not on my sales page, but on my contributor page, meaning this one. https://stock.adobe.com/ro/contributor/

3. On my collections page, where the sales page appears, I can place images in as many collections as I want. But I wasn't talking about that; I was referring to the 'More from the series' collection. However, here the process is automatic for new images, but I still don't know what criteria it is based on.

2. default sort is on the number of sales. Assets with no sales or the same number of sales get shown in the order of relevance. 

3. Adobe uses software to determine that based on some unknown parameters. I suspect that the keywords, the releases and the image by itself play a role with this.

5. Images should always uploaded at their original size, except if they are too small or too big for stock. Users prefer higher resolution images because they think that this is a quality parameter. It is not, but users will prefer higher resolution images.

6. As many relevant keywords as you can get.
