It says "Assets are reviewed in the order they are received", however, some photos submitted 5,6,and 7 months ago without any review, instead my recent photos submitted got reviewed. Contacted Adobe but no reply so far, is this a bug and what can I do?

IDK what do you think guys, but Adobe is not a start-up, its a giant company, I can't see this normal, 7 months is not something that should be allowed, some people must live from this.

 

Or it's a negligence bec they don't need to care about contributors, or there is something bigger behind all this times.

Adobe claims to have tripled the size of their moderation team; however due to the popularity of the Stock business, and the Generative AI boom, with its low cost of entry for that asset type, Contributors are uploading hundreds or thousands of assets at a time. As a result the backlog of unreviewed images remains huge, probably many millions. Nevertheless, I believe they should alter their reviewing strategy to be sure that no one waits more than 8 weeks.

I guess, but my biggest question is, Why they process some newer content, and not the backlog? For example, imagine some one who upload some Halloween content, They want to sell it before it, so you have to upload it a year before? It have no sense, 2 months before its reasonable, but not 7, in my opinion.

 

Thnks for the answer

Did you use a bulk submission tool or upload them individually?

After this much time, I would delete and resubmit them.

The old first-in/first-out rule no longer seems to apply. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to hasten the process. Adobe either doesn't reply to queries on this subject, or sends a canned response. All will get reviewed eventually.
