New submission limits for Adobe Stock Contributors

[StockContributors]

Hello!

We’re introducing updated submission limits for Adobe Stock Contributors to help maintain the strength and quality of our growing collection. These updates support the continued success of both our Contributor community and customers alike.

When you reach your weekly submission limit or the maximum amount of allowed content pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit additional content.

Search Stock by your content keyword(s).

Examples:

A search of WALNUTS, https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=walnuts

A search of PINK RABBITS, https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=pink+rabbits

New and veteran contributors alike are being affected by this new policy. There is nothing much to be done other than diversify and submit to a variety of stock sites.

It’s discouraging for anyone trying to build a path on the platform

By @Luma_lua

It's more discouraging for those submitting massively, without taking care of quality, and as such jamming the submission queue.

absolutly correct

How can I know my weekly submission limit?

[daniellei4510]

When you reach it. It's different for everyone, based on a variety of factors.

Your sales and your acceptance rate.

I think this submission limit works in a positive manner. Today I got 70 acceptances and 1 rejection after a long time. But almost all the files are vector files.

[Fearless_Cadence5F8A]

I want to ask how I can determine my submission limit. It would be very helpful if I knew the limit, as it may aid in content creation due to the known limit.

[serendipitous_dream0401]

That is not possible at the moment. According to Adobe Stock, it depends on various factors. So the best way to deal with it is to upload small batches. Check the image quality before uploading. If you have fewer rejections, you can upload more. I'm following a simple plan of 4-5 images/vector files per day. 

[Jill_C]

If you submit small, regular batches it's possible that you'll never encounter the submission limit in your account. Adobe has always recommended a "slow but steady" approach to submissions. Why is it important to you to know what your limit is? You can continue content creation and upload your content regardless of you submission limit and simply submit when your account falls below the limit.

You will need to change from mass submition to quality submission. The number of accepted assets will probably be still the same.

[CesusJhrist]

It's probaby a good move considering lot of the AI junk that's uploaded. As somone who put's in lot of effort for vectors it comes across as disappointing to see AI garbage.

[daniellei4510]

I'm just not quite sure why Adobe has come up with a formula for limiting uploads, as opposed to a simple limit of, say, 100/month.

Maybe it's to avoid a flood of submissions on May 31st (last day of the month).

A weekly limit better controls the flow of submissions.

It's not so much setting a limit within a given amount of time. What concerns me is that basing the limit on certain criteria as mentioned in Adobe's announcement, I see a lot of room for programming errors. Adobe still hasn't figured out how to "unstick" stuck photos in the queue, photographs are still being mistakenly rejected for not being tagged as AI, unique images are being rejected as similar, similar images are still being accepted, and so on. I'm already waiting for someone to post here that they have about 12 images awaiting review, they haven't uploaded anything in over a month, but they're still not able to submit because they've reached their weekly limit. Or something along those lines. Then again, it may work just fine. I know there's no easy solution.

• the moderation queue algorithm is much more complex than anything other. And the issue is present since the very beginning, but with a moderation waiting time of 3 days, it's easier to detect that the individual asset is stuck. Mat Hayward simply reinitialized the submission process manually. 😉
• AI that is not tagged is still being accepted, too. IMHO, this is a human induced error.
• the similar rejection is simply a bad calibration of an algorithm, that is probably based on the Sensei search assistant in Adobe's stock. The algorithm is indeed working, but only for human selection adterwards.
• to all above, the submission limit is really easy to program and to manage. But yes, I once also had an easy and straightforward algorithm, that crashed during daylight saving switch, as I checked the time, and the time always moves forward... 🙂
