I'm getting rejections that don't have any sense and I don't know how to contact Adobe to clarify these rejections. Do they even have any way of contacting, or do I just spam same image/videos until I get banned from the platform?

"Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, we found that it doesn't meet our needs so we can't accept it into our collection.

Possible reasons:

- Non compliant use of another artist�s name.

- Undeclared Generative AI Content.

- Content not compliant with overall guidelines:

Adobe might have over 1 million registered producers. There is no way to offer individual personal service.

High end agencies offer that, but they just work with a few thousand people.

Just add it to the community channel, here are also Adobe admins reading there. If they find the problem interesting I am sure someone will look into it.

And you can also write to Mat, but I would try the community channel first.

No. I hired someone to make me an original character design...

Were they cheap?

No. I am seriously considering just dropping this stock industry crap and start drawing... I could boost sales of my artwork through my filming knowledge and make better money. Just thinking about making investments FOR making stock footage and then getting rejected makes me sick to my stomach. Meanwhile I had 95% approval rate with all AI generated images and had many sales already. Makes you think twice about what should be the logical course of action.

I disagree with the personal service aspect, when you consider the massive revenue they generate. Of COURSE they can offer it, but they may choose not to because "investors" want more $$$ in their pockets.

You really want Adobe to hire 2000 people just to deal with all the complaints "why was my file declined"??
It will be by far the most abused system ever.

I'd rather they put that money into the sales team.

You can post your problems in the community chat and get quick and qualified feedback. And you can write to Mat if you believe it is very serious.

Adobe is a lo more responsive than other places.

I don't get why people expect the luxury treatment on a mass platform.

Sign up with a small exclusive agency and you will get all the direct communication you ever wanted.

There are always choices.

Why do you assume your job is to go around on the forum telling people off. You're literally a nobody and yet ... kinda all you do. No one asked you to no one sanctions it, you just do it because you expect you're permitted to. You haven't helped the poster or furthered knowledge. Why don't you just think about that for a little while.

For the OP I have used this email to resolve a similar issue

But there are people who photograph weddings and make more money than in stock photography. You could venture into that business, but that requires assistants, specialization and equipment.

If you are very skilled and want some real earning and not just some bucks for your hobby I would try wedding photography in your local regions. The prices are quite high for some hours of work. I imagine already now how these guys then all will use AI to enhance their photos *lol*.
