What’s going on with moderation lately? Everything keeps getting rejected!

[Sachingusain]

I honestly don’t know what the moderators are doing these days. Every damn asset is getting rejected — even after spending so much time and effort creating AI images, upscaling, editing, and carefully adding titles and tags.

First they say “quality issues,” and when I fix those and reupload, they reject it again for “similar content.” Seriously? Are these moderators even human anymore or just some AI bot rejecting things randomly?

It’s getting really frustrating. We contributors put in hours of work just to see everything thrown out for vague reasons. Anyone else facing the same problem?

The similar content issue has been an issue for a few months and is affecting all types of assets, including photography, vectors, AI (probably more so?), and videos to some extent. It's a common complaint and there is not much we can do about it as contributors. Search the forum for "similar content" to learn more. It's been spoken of ad nauseam.

Everyone is facing this problem, and there's nothing we can do about it. My rejection rate went from <5% to >33% earlier this year when Adobe implemented this change. I've reduced my submission rate substantially and have started submitting my rejects to Getty where so far all have been accepted.

Adobe Stock doesn't see this as a problem. So there's nothing to fix.  This is what they have to say about 'similar content.'
