If they did that now every single license would go to the mass text prompt AI spam from Pakistan/Bangladesh using their pirate versions of Topaz to upscale and stolen AI generator credentials.

I also have never been a high volume contributor. I have been a long time contributor.
I have qualified in downloads but I broke my arm last fall so I could no longer edit photos waiting to be uploaded.
That resulted in me missing the new upload requirements by 31.
There needs to be an in-kind benefit offered for all contributors with the required sales who are active and have uploaded something but fall short of the new number.
To be fair and equitable Adobe should offer at least the one app bonus for higher sales but lower uploads, just as the low sales contributors are given for uploading 150 images.

do you think I don't understand you?I know very well that letting a machine do a job that a person should do is a destructive thing.
I'm 49 years old and I too have seen many things that have changed for the worse,let's be clear,everything has really changed,I think that before true freedom really existed,today it is just a distant memory.
In my opinion your flaw is that you try too aggressively to fight something you can't fight,then the flaw that you can see in me or that I can see in you are just our points of view and nothing more.
"i don t know nothing at all" it's just a joking way of saying that you should never think you know everything because no one knows everything,this is the only certain thing,and having an "I know it all" attitude and then starting a conversation with an insult,you've already made a mistake,and even if you're right you end up being wrong only in the way you stand.
yes,the AI have also changed the contributor bonus and much more as you know,and in my opinion you continue to make the mistake of going against something that cannot be stopped.
if you don't want to use AI,it's your choice,but you can't simply attack those who use AI,you're angry,I understand.
Anyway,I think that's enough,let's not digress too much from the bonus contributor,let's try to stay on topic! :)

So, you are still young ;)
Yes we have entered the era of mass reprogramming. We want to make people believe that certain values were restrictive, when they were the safeguards that protected freedom.
I never thought I knew everything, since my steps have always progressed in doubt and conscious ignorance.
Apart from the insult, the tone of irony and sarcasm must still be perceptible, because I am not the type to insult. On the other hand, I have been given real insults twice on this forum.
Yes, I have a combative stance against AI, but it corresponds to the massive and majority support that I see here. No, an image generated by AI should not be called a photograph on the Adobe site which plays on ambiguity and does not distinguish the two enough, this is the heart of the problem of what reveals unfair competition.
We must (Adobe must) keep the nobility of real photography. I don't feel like I'm going against something that can't be stopped (I'm well aware of that), but it should be done with respect and preservation of the nature of something previous, original.
Injustice for all:
true freedom,in my opinion,existed until the 80s and 90s
today we have become slaves to ourselves,the life we live today is completely different from the life we lived 30 years ago,and only less than 30 years have passed!
apart from the fact that today we live in a dystopian world... but that's a long story.
to stay on topic,in my opinion Adobe is doing as good a job as humanly possible.
It's easy to criticize,it only takes a second.
someone sees a word,an action,a fact,and criticizes that word,action,fact.
but then really understand the background and how we arrived at that word,fact,action,and a whole other story.
even the bonus contributor,it is easy to criticize that the minimum uploads have been raised to 150,or criticize Adobe for anything else,but then in reality you don't know the behind the scenes or the difficulties you may have in managing a difficult situation like AI,and all that entails.
However,I'm sure that Adobe appreciates criticism,because it also allows understand points of view and what they can improve.

There is a new sherrif in town in Adobe city and they want all your crappy shootings because otherwise you will not meet the upload target next year.
It's like this 15 year old Italian guy said, it might be 200 (or 300 next year, couldn't follow exactly what he was saying) but count on a thousand.
And maybe even more because review times are so slow that even if you put in 2000, maybe only a 100 or so will be reviewed and accepted this year.
So no matter your sales and how much you earn for Adobe, get your upload numbers in order and send in all your crap, AI or not.
Maybe even make it 5000, just to be sure ;)

A better strategy, no longer bother ourselves with reviewing non-AI content. Therefore upload as many as you like, won't meet the target next year. By then, contributors of non-AI "need not apply".
