Hello,

Question, if you have experience with multiple contributor accounts, and have been banned or not.

I would like to know if I can open multiple contributor accounts for different asset types.

Per the guidelines, it looks like I can. For example, a separate account for Videos.

https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/submission-guidelines.html

So, specifically, I would like to know if I create this new account for Videos only, do I have to delete videos from the original account? Or can I start uploading videos to this new account, going forward, as long as I don't post videos to the first account?

I'm trying to see if I can track individual types of videos/images separately, without getting my account(s) closed.

There is no reason for doing that but, to anser your question; yes. You cannot have different account ith the same asset types.

It's speculated that frequent submissions helps rank assets higher is search results. It's beneficial to keep all your assets in one account.

Perhaps it's both frequent submissions and sales, but I know I've seen the frequent submission aspect specifically mentioned. This article from the artists hub covers it briefly. I unfortunately learned this after I'd submitted quite a bit of content, I wish I'd staggered my submissions more in the beginning.

I do not have multiple accounts, and can track very effectively using a combination of the online tools and by downloading the CSV data into an excel worksheet in which I use pivot tables. If you decide to open up a second account for videos only, you will need to delete any videos on your existing account, and re-upload them in the new account, which puts you at risk of rejection. Additionally, if any of those assets have already been licensed, Buyers won't be able to access them to download again, because the asset number will change.

If I don't delete those videos in account 1, can I upload new videos into account 2? and no more videos into account 1 going forward?

The guidelines state that multiple accounts can ONLY be used for different asset types, and we've already received reports here of multiple-account-holders having their accounts banned. So why take a chance?

You can track videos by analyzing the sales. You do not need a second account for doing that. A method to track your sales very comfortably is to export the sales data to Excel.

If you want a second account for your video stuff, you can proceed. Do not upload duplicates, however.
