Too many images rejacting for " Similar content in our collection"

[ShaikotB]

almost 50% images are rejecting for " Similar content in our collection" . So what is the solutions or how can i check the similarities before submitting the files?

Check out the contributor forum on this rejection. Adobe thinks that they are doing fine with their new method of detecting similar submissions.

I still don't get your personal opinion, adobe thinks they are doing fine, what do you think?

It's not my personal opinion, it's what Adobe tells us: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/update-on-similar-refusals/td-p/152984...

I understand, but I'm asking you about your personal opinion.

Adobe see that they are doing well, do you think as well?

Also, Is it worth sending private messages to their community accounts?

Do they reply or do anything?

You might receive an autoresponder. 

If Adobe personally replied to every Contributor who objects to a refusal, they'd never get any work done.

Before you submit, use the Adobe Stock Search tool.  Look for similar content in your chosen keywords.

Hope that helps.

To be honest, I'm already at the brink of despair. For the last week, my images have only been rejected because of "similarity", despite the fact that I carefully select a niche and create only 1 image in a specific style and theme. I decided to see how the moderation system would work. That's why only individual works and from niches where there are very few similar works (within 1000). The result is the same, it feels like the moderation system (probably a robot) has gone crazy. Images hang "In review" and only reject 4-5 pieces every day. By the way, many images are stuck without passing moderation at all, some are already 6 months old. Seeing that moderation only works to reject content lately, I find it difficult to figure out what else I can do......

Rejected single image monochrome in PNG frame of grapes. Due to similarity. I went to look at similar ones that have already been published (link https://stock.adobe.com/de/search?filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aphoto%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aillus...). Well, what can I say? ((((( - There are only 117 images for my title "Frame grape vines in monochrome style", none similar to mine, but there are a lot of very similar and almost identical images that have already passed moderation. And this is NOT GRAPES!!! How can I evaluate the work of moderation after this??? I don't know. Maybe one of you has an answer? ((((((

Hello,

 So what is the solutions or how can i check the similarities before submitting the files?

Look at their database. It will be harder now to submit something unique; try to think outside the box and submit something that is not represented. (Easier said than done, I know.)

I'm new here and, for now, every vector I upload is being rejected (there are still a lot in review) due to "similar content". Of course, I know that thousands of images share the same keywords and have 'similar' content BUT a different style. The idea behind microstock sites is to provide customers with a variety of options, so that they can select the perfect image for their needs. Therefore, the 'similar content' rejection seems a little strange to me.

However, I (personal opinion) suspect the motives might be different. And, too, for what I've seen, this problem is something relatively new.

It would be helpful if they provided a link to that similar content so that we could judge for ourselves.

This is the "similar content" from another illustration (vector).
