How can some friends be so fast?

[coffeeman_L]

Hello.

I occasionally see on the forum, “I uploaded 2,000 batches”, “I tried to upload 1,000 pieces at a time”, and similarly absurd figures.

I compare myself, I have been uploading for about 14 months, spending 1-2-3 hours a day on average; at the end of 14 months: I have 800 accepted entities, 208 rejected entities and around 150 entities that I deleted myself because I didn't like the result. So a total of around 1,150-1,200.

As I mentioned in the title, how can these friends be so fast, what are their methods?

Thank you.

That's an irrelevant question now that adobe has a new policy on number of submissions allowed at a time.

We should all strive for quality.

for whatever is worth to you, I've been here 5 months, have uploaded about 1500 photos... my rejection percentage higher than yours, yet 20-25% of all sales have been from images that were rejected at least once.

And to be precise, a lot of my rejections were justified, and I am better for that!

I think you should stop this habit of re-uploading your rejected content until it is accepted. I remember community experts warning you about this.

Because your account could be disabled/suspended for this, and of course that would be sad, none of us want that.

I agree with your main point. I speak of what my personal experience has been. 

I am a working professional photographer, with decades of experience. I know what is good and what is a great photo. Great photos SHOULD NOT be rejected. My conclusion is that AI is rejecting photos for reasons that make no sense. 
Adobe wants great photos, and wants to work with those who submit them. 
I don't think they are perfect with their selection system, or claim to be. The rely on us to make it better. 

BTW, I have learned how they want our work, and my approval timeline has drastically changed for the better, often just a couple of hours after submitting, making my overall experience a more enjoyable.

Many are programmers who automate the process and don't bother editing the images, titles or keywords that result from the automated process.

They have automated most of the process of generating, upscaling, titling and keywording. In other words, they spend little or no time actually inspecting their images for flaws. Since they have automated to a large extent, they do not have a huge investment of their time in the process, so they don't care if 50% or more of them get rejected. By then they are on to the next batch...  Adobe's decision to throttle submissions and implement a weekly limit is no doubt an attempt to get these types of spammers to slow down and focus on quality rather than quantity.
