. Adobe has it's own moderation team and own rules.

Well, claiming that sounds rather overconfident. Just a few years ago, outsourcing that so-called “moderation” to third-party firms in third countries was absolutely normal and economically efficient. And I don’t think much has changed now

Well, if Adobe hires moderators, the are part of Adobe's moderation team, not part of Shutterstocks moderation team. And the Adobe moderation was quite good and efficient, before they accepted generative AI submissions. Adobe completely failed in that. But not because moderators refused good assets, but because they accepted obviously flawed assets. And there is still a double standard. Photgraphies are checked more stringently than generative AI.
I never had an issue with the quality refusals, as they were very mostly OK. With the similar refusals, however, Adobe has introduced a tool that returns results, that we probably all can agree upon, are random and flawed. No single contributor, however, can determine how accurate or flawed the tool is, as we do have no idea, what other contributors get refused. Not all refusals land here.
