Does Bulk Uploading Harm the Algorithm?

Hi,
I’ve spent the last month creating a massive collection of ~2,000 AI-generated images. If I submit them all at once via CSV bulk upload, could this hurt my ranking in the algorithm?
My reasoning: A single bulk submission might help moderators detect similar content faster (and avoid duplicate rejections). But I’m worried about triggering spam filters or algorithmic penalties.
How many daily uploads would you recommend to ‘feed’ the algorithm effectively without overloading it?
Thanks.

My motto: Be fair to real photographers who probably upload a handful of images per day or even per week. Adobe Stock is already oversaturated with AI. But we have already discussed the issue of bulk uploads and you know my feelings on the issue. 😉

Yes, I know 😀 Thank you.

Adobe's recommendation has always been "slow but steady", which will ensure a steady stream of reviews. Adobe isn't interested in massive uploads of similar content, and that could quite likely result in a higher ratio of rejections than if you took the slow but steady approach.

Hmm, so to feed the algorithm and make Adobe recognize me as a consistent and serious contributor, do you think 150 images per day is ideal?

I don't know what algorithm you're referring to. To the best of my knowledge there is no algorithm that sorts Contributors into "consistent and serious" categories,

What algorithm?
If you think that you have similar content, do not upload. It's not the moderator's task to detect your errors. You should only upload assets that are free of artefacts and conform to all requirements. You are no more a novice contributor, you should know that by now.

You're right Abambo. Since I stopped using the automation I mentioned and started reviewing images manually, I can still consider myself a beginner. I won’t be opening such amateur topics anymore anytime soon. Thanks.

Bulk uploaders are not beneficial to you or your fellow Contributors. If anything, they make the whole review process slower for everyone.
Choose 20 of your very best images to upload.
Submit & if they're accepted, rinse, lather & repeat.
