Interesting term "Terminator Inspector".

I have seen this elsewhere too.  Recently on IS, which generally accepts everything as long as property criteria is satisfied.  RF shot rejected for

This file appears to be a duplicate or too similar to other files you�ve submitted before. More variety in your compositions will be more useful to our collection.

It was sunset from Pico de la Nieve on Spain Canary Islands,  only time I've been there in my life so definitely not "similar".   Submitted again, and naturally it went through.

Maybe it is the same person that works for different agencies.

I too have had rejections for similar content,when in reality there was nothing similar in my port,then I read on the Adobe pages that the rejection for similar content is also related to the Adobe Stock library.

That's what support said to me, but I treated it as a joke. There are not much things in the world, which are not in the base and have commercial value.

If that's the case then they effectively want no new content.
Everything has been done before by someone. Nothing left to submit.

Yesterday I had some accepted, some rejected "for quality reasons".  All non-editorial.  I resubmit, and this morning all accepted. 

Different reviewer most likely. This cat and mouse game is becoming quite ridiculous and has nothing to do with consistency or quality

Just like the delays, some of the reviews are just what you say. Ridiculous game.

I want to add that I wrote this before and people keep telling me, "Oh no it doesn't say that." Yes, Adobe does and they have before.



And for some other creative theories, how's that caption things working for people who claim, that leaving out specifics and places, makes things go faster. Now we have, smaller batches are faster. Note: I only upload small batches, always have, and I have had images fall into a black hole of review. When that theory is debunked there will be another new theory, of how to beat the flaws in the system.

But you are right. "This cat and mouse game is becoming quite ridiculous and has nothing to do with consistency or quality"
