This year, Adobe Stock celebrates 10 years of connecting creative people through content.

As the Stock business goes through a significant transformation, we're committed to making sure we serve the needs of both Contributors and customers for years to come.

Check out our 10-year anniversary blog which shares what's ahead and hear from others that are part of our dynamic Contributor community.

We are grateful for the past 10 years partnering with you and look forward to shaping the future together.

Thank-you. Also, good/interesting blog post.

One thing that would be nice, if you don't mind me suggesting it is to have a dedicated representative/liason for 'long time contributors'  (i.e., =>5 years, say any account created before 2020/before convid, and before the massive 'ai' gold rush seekers was opened up to 3rd world countries when "ai" was "officially announced" by the media in January 2023). Because generally speaking anyone before 2020, knew what was required to make good content, knows about removing artifacts/proper resolution/etc, etc, etc - and could probably provide valuable feedback because they've been in the industry for a while. (Those same long time contributors also recognize how to do 'good' 'ai' stuff (i.e., removing artifacts, fifteen fingers, etc).

I believe Matt performed that role before, but now that he's moved on - as far as I know - there doesn't not appear to be anyone new to take a similar position that he had? Would it be possible to set something up like that again?

Thanks!

Good to see that Adobe is always looking for new channels to sell our content.

Congratulation Adobe.

The post is amazing and motivating.
I only feel if you guys gave more insights on how much downloads adobe received in this 10 years, how much contributors have been paid till now, how many customers have been served etc.

A big YES to that! Great idea.

Hey that is great.

Any news on your total lack of communication with contributors regarding the ridiculous similar/quality issues rejections?

From a contributor point of view it makes me wonder if Adobe is even interested in new content.

It would really be meaningful if Adobe would simply enlighten the contributors as the rejections are so sporadic and mostly don't make any sense at all.

... it's not good to have those totally random rejections after years of uploading... I can understand if Ai took charge in review process procedure, but if human reviewers are responsive for that... then something is very wrong and made to stop uploading only to AS...

I'm looking forward to the next 10 years of partnering with Adobe!

Hello again!

We continue with the 10-Year Anniversary celebration, and we decided to create a new Creative Challenge to showcase your favorite images from these last 10 years.

Head over to our Discord community and share some of your favorite visuals, along with a bit of context about why that content was meaningful to you!

Cheers!
