So. now it's official. My account remains closed.
The reason: I have used some public domain images and created videos from them.
AS says that is against their terms of use.
I'm not even allowed to use my spouse's pictures, only my own.

I have permission to create a new account for uploading my own designs.
And I have already done that.

Yes, theres always a reason accounts get closed. Glad you got it sorted out.

Please tell me after unlocking you when sales recovered?

Attach the model release and no problem.

There has been no unlocking, I have opened a whole new account.
Sales were at the usual level right at the beginning, but then fell sharply.
Strong fluctuations were also normal with my previous AS account.

It's Santa's fault. Give it until Tuesday and you should see a slight uptick when the hangovers wear off and the reality of everyday life kicks in.

That would be nice if it was just Santa's fault. But 2 months of no to few downloads, that has other causes, I'm afraid.

SS ran at full speed the last months of 2022. Those were the best months ever.
But since January the brake is in. It was the same last year.

Well if it was the same last year, but the last months of 2022 have been the best... then that means sales are going to go back up again, Or should do based on last year. It may not be Tuesday, it may not be January, but if things were the same last year then seasonality is surely to blame to an extent.

Its quite logical. Search algorithm and sales are also driven by a few of your best sellers.
If you close your portfolio and start a new one, there are no best sellers for a good ranking in "relevance" or "downloads" search.
Your images are only found at "most recent" search, maybe in "featured" search.
Lets assume that you re-upload your portfolio from January to July, so your images are found in "most recent" search and sell well.
After stoping uploading your images are not in a good search rank anywhere. It will need some time to replace your bestseller that have once been in your portfolio with new images.
I think you will need to upload at least about 100 images/month to keep pace with AS portfolio growth.
