Similar Content

[Foysol_Ahmed4579]

When I create content, I always try my best to ensure it does not resemble any other existing content. Still, when Adobe Stock’s system detects it as “similar content,” it truly feels disappointing and disheartening for me. I always follow Adobe Stock’s guidelines and will continue to do so in the future.

If it had been clearly mentioned why my content specifically fell under the category of “similar content,” it would have been much more helpful for me to improve going forward. I admit that making mistakes is natural. However, I want to learn from this mistake and continue moving forward with greater responsibility. Thank you.

The "similars" rejections are often unwarranted and inexplicable. Unfortunately, there's nothing we Contributors can do about it, so try not to feel disheartened. You might find that images rejected by Adobe are accepted by other agencies.

The contents that were rejected by Adobe, I uploaded them to other
platforms, and all of them were approved. But my most favorite platform is
Adobe Stock, where unfortunately those contents are getting rejected

I've had the same experience. I am getting a higher percentage accepted now, but I've had all my Adobe rejects accepted at Getty Images.

This is Adobe, and other platforms are other platforms. They are not allowed to coordinate refusals. So it's normal, that one accepts what the other refuses. It may be an advantage for one or the other. Nobody knows why the client chooses one service above the other. 

If Adobe is right, the customer finds what they are looking for. If Adobe is wrong, the customer may find the other database more complete.

I don't know what this represents. It's too small. 

My guess is that the AI bot saw something in it that triggered a 'similar content' strike.

This is what Adobe Stock has to say about 'Similar Content.'

Adobe Stock flags similar content mostly when the system finds your submission too close to something already in the library, even if unintentional. It doesn’t mean your work lacks value, it’s just a quality control step. The best approach is to keep experimenting with fresh angles, variations, and unique elements so your portfolio stands out.

The Ai that dose this check has a very big pool of content to compare. I'm guessing it's not really checking for quality, it probably dose a very shallow, mass check. To make it more accurate they will probably have to do something more dramatic, maybe a purge of the content .. who knows. I am starting to get similar ofr vector as well, and that is really annoying.

=========

If an AI bot does anything, it's likely searching similar keywords in Stock's database.

But that's just speculation.

Stock does not share their secrets with us.

If they did, they'd have to give us a lethal dose of poison. 😉

Similarity is independant from quality. Quality is a different refusal.
