Author Topic: Separate vs regular account (Read 173 times)

Elijah · « **on:** March 15, 2024, 11:02 »

Hi everybody.
I have an established AS account which performs pretty well (no AI images). I opened a separate AS account for AI images 3 months ago. It performs relatively ok, but the wait times are incredibly long. It takes 4-6 weeks on average for them to accept 200 images, I'm capped at 500 in the queue and I have started thinking if it was a wise strategy. (The whole reason for having a separate account was "if they ban AI account then my real one will remain intact)

A couple of questions.

1. Is it true that established accounts that were there for about 10 years have much faster AI acceptance rates?
2. Would you advise mixing AI and regular content in the same portfolio?

Thank you!

1. No. My account is from 2012 and it takes the same (long) review time.
But my guess is that there are pro contributors, who are prefered. They somehow manage to upload and get through the review process with over 30k AI images / month.

2. It depends. If you take real portraits shots and generate some 3D content I would split it.
Although it may violate Adobe's terms and conditions. So I would not recommend it either.

Thanks a lot Andrej!

Just to make it clear... you upload both (AI and regular photos) to your main account from 2012 and
- photos get an ok review time
- AI content take an extremely long time?

P.S. My review times for regular photos are fairly decent - usually within a week (13K port)

It doesn't. T&C explicitly state that you can have several accounts.

Interesting, then it would even make sense to open different accounts for different content. Then the portfolio would be clearly sorted for the buyers.

@Elijah
AI content take an extremely long time. I don't submit real photos since in my opinion it is not worth the time. Between 2012 and 2015 I submitted vector graphics, which sold very good back then.
