I've been gradually deleting unsold videos that I uploaded in 2018, then improving and re-rendering them, improving my colour management, updating the keyword order and resubmitting. I have been getting quite a few new sales this way on files that I think would otherwise never have sold on Adobe but had done well elsewhere. I have not noticed any negative impacts of doing this.

That is a very smart strategy and certainly beneficial for customers.

Improving unsold files will increase the overall quality of your port.

Yes, it works but I would not recommend this since you are facing a risk to get banned from Adobe.
Adobe clearly states in their  "terms of use" for contributors that you first have to inform Adobe in advance before you delete your content. If it only affects a small proportion of the portfolio, it is certainly not that risky.

Theyve changed something with the reviews, now seems to be doing batches of 15-30 or so every couple of days.  And have shifted my 5 month ones.

Edit:- seem to have cleared the older ones in the queue by just rejecting everything for "technical quality".  All videos on all topics older than about 3 months got culled with that.

Deletion of uploaded files is treated same as file rejection and effects on your stats and sales.

If that is the case with deleting stuck files, then the effect would be negated when re-uploading them back into the queue?

Of course NOT.
if you upload 1000 images your upload counter will state that you have 1000 uploads.
And if you delete 100 and  then upload those 100 again, your counter will state that you have 1100 uploads and 100 deleted / rejected images.
It is a basic math.

Where do I see the stats and sales you are talking about, that shows how deleting a file becomes a rejection? What difference do stats make?

Madeup doesn't answer her made up stats or where to see them. Good anonymous troll on personal attacks and telling others how she thinks they should be. Momie probably told her she was a special person when she was a little girl and she believes.

Isnt that for mass deletions?

If someone has 2000 videos, deletes 10 files, reprocess them and then reuploads them, then next week does another 10 etcthe files are not being removed forever, they are being improved and uploaded with better quality.

I can't find the terms of use anymore but I remember a period of 3 months when you were not allowed to delete a huge amount of your content. Probably they changed it in the meantime. But I personally would not face the risk, especially when you have a good selling account since It's very hard to start with a new one nowdays.

Sorry I was distracted by cheap unrealistic mugs. Nice link, I didn't know I could do that  https://pete-klinger.pixels.com/shop/coffee+mugs

Seems that review times are still random and not systematic. Someone else wrote me that their videos, some are reviewed, some have been weeks, and something new, got reviewed in days, while the old ones are sitting.

I don't have any theory or answer, except it's random, but the fact is, they are varied and unpredictable.

You have your own private stalker who follows your accounts. They started here for one message and didn't post anything again for 7 years. Now you're getting reviews, advice on what you should write here and they monitor your microstock. I think you should avoid and ignore anyone who is following you, don't answer or reply to taunts or unwanted attention. That's my advice.

Review times are better now, I'm seeing faster reviews lately.

You can read your contributor agreement here: https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/cc/en/legal/servicetou/Adobe-Stock-Contributor-Agreement-en_US-20240618.pdf
It states:
"You may remove any Work from the Website at any time, provided, however, that you do not remove more than 100 items of Work or 10% of the Work, whichever is greater, in any 90-day period without 90 days'
prior written notice to Adobe."

That makes it very clear.

Improving your files is fine as long as you do it at a reasonable rate. And you are returning the files, not deleting them forever.

What would be something I'd fear, would be that I remove something and then the new version is rejected. Seeing that this year, I have more rejections than accepted images, and suddenly I don't know how to take a photo or focus the camera.  ;D I don't know that I'd want to risk, remove and upload tricks.

....
 

As I said, fact that someone can't see something isn't the fact that those information are not there. If you know where to look.
Otherwise I wouldn't be able to see a fact or two about you.
And I stand behind what I said dear Uncle Pete.
...
Or should I ask you do we here speak about files (and their upload/rejection stats)  that you created or about files uploaded on account that you represent here ? 
...
Or to be more precise, other agency ?   
...
And luckily for you I decided to stop here with exposing more information.  8)

Have fun with your attempt to become all knowing mega star of this forum.
As far as I'm concerned you are nothing but a arrogant small person and I find that any continuation of conversation with you is waste of time.

P.S. If you case that can't find your upload/rejection stats -  you have 22% rejections of all uploaded files.

posting other folks' details is a violation of forum rules and basic decency.  your personal attacks are contemptible and have been reported.  criticize the ideas, not the person

and bring some order here & report to the moderator when criticism of ideas become personal attacks; posting details of another person's portfolio are never acceptable - made worse when the anonymous person won't post links to their own portfolio

I clicked ignore a long time ago so I wouldn't waste time reading this mediocre person.

I used to get my videos reviewed under a week, but this is the first time in a long time that it's been longer than 17 days and still nothing.

Anyone else experiencing long review times for videos recently?

There was a thread about lowest custom rate on Adobe, but I can't find it right now, so I'll post here.   
Today I had lowest yet - 30 cents.  Until today lowest was 0.31

17 days too now, two days ago it was 21 or 22. This is the unfounded reason for frequently not accepted footage" unintentional shaking, empty black or white frame, compression and/or audio issues, so we can't accept it into our collection." - just a joke. Other agencies can't find any black frames or compression issues :)

Image used for AI resources are at Custom. But we don't know when that is happening or if it has.

However, Custom can be anything licensed from a contract for a bulk/custom rate. Without all kinds of details, we still get our standard percentage for what the customer paid. We haven't had a pay cut. Adobe is just selling the product for less.

Over the last few weeks I've seen several $0.30 custom royalties - on Nov 27 & 28 as well as yesterday.

I believe we were told explicitly that there is no floor to the custom rates - it's 33% of what the buyer pays. That might be a constructed price based on total downloads the previous day for unlimited plans

I have a video for review and it has 14 days pending for review and counting and nothing! Maybe reviewers are busy with AI content, maybe AI content is priority!

I've been busting a gut to get out a lot of my spring / easter work on the basis it would take at least 1 month or more to be reviewed and I wanted them up no later than mid January (all .png) .... two batches, one submitted about a week ago, maybe less. The next one two days ago. Imagine my surprise when I seen the notification confirming arrive this morning saying they'd all been approved 😳

Wow... it's like old times again, hope this continues 😀

Still have 120 files in pending for 4 months already, none AI files, what's with the up to 8 weeks, I just doubled that.

Smaller numbers of submissions must be going thru faster.

I just had 1 video reviewed in a couple days and a small batch of images took about a week.
