pos 3450

like I said i am in the same range, which is bad because easter is coming

but i was only able tp upload a tiny amount of files because of the troubles.

i used to love adobe, am really depressed about the situation

now testing if downsizing files to round 1600 -2800 or something will help to get files in

otherwise it will mean a much stronger and faster focus on video for all places than I had planned

I think it doesn't really depend on the image resolution,reviews have become harsher and longer in general.

my current situation is only my fault,because I wasted too much time trying to do particular things,but above all things that required too much time,in fact I only have 1500 AI contents at the moment,and with little different themes.

I also have thousands of real contents though.

in any case,this has become a numbers game now more than ever,and I've never been particularly good at producing a high amount of content because I paid too much attention to detail.

so now that's enough,if I have to do the numbers,let's do the numbers,from now on I will try to send at least 30-50 contents a day.

select the generated contents yes,but without wasting too much time in post-production.

turbo mode activated!  :D

Today I had 8 downloads, it seems that the week is getting better! :)

In the battle of the losers,this week I win!  :D (at least in sales numbers)

anyway today you made 8 sales today I made 0.

It's really strange to me,that at this point in the journey,with my current port,I can't even make 20-40 sales a week,anyway, I hope at least this month to do something more than April 2024,it's still possible.

I'm currently producing some images,while still waiting to see if the new videos are acceptable or not,which is what interests me the most.

41 videos still in review,2 videos from a week ago,the rest less.
Videos take longer than images to be approved, at least in my case.
We have to stay strong no matter how bad things get!
Don't give up!

A tiny move up.

Got another similar decline for something that is new to my port.

I am so tired of this Adobe roulette system. I really used to love that agency.

for me nothing extraordinary everything as always.

regarding "turbo superproduction",I was unable to send a minimum of 30 contents,I sent 21 yesterday and one today,so I am unable to produce a high quantity of contents that are also of quality,I think that an average of 15-20 a day would already be more than good.

Today I deleted about 60 contents from the review,since they kept reviewing one a day and rejecting it for similar content,so I got rid of the problem and deleted the entire batch,which had cost me a week of work,never mind,it doesn't matter,but now,if possible,please review these videos that are 10 days old and I would like to understand what I have to do,if it is worth investing more in this or not.

Thanks.

I think 15-20 a day is perfectly normal for good content and usually enough to grow a port.

We should not be forced to compete with the spammers.

I uploaded around 10 yesterday and 20 today. I also deleted several older files from the queue.

I think once a few from a day are reviewed, I will always remove those that are left. looks like these files are destined for the garbage bin.

That's pretty good! What kind of motion graphics do you do? Does it take a long time to put them together?

Thanks! 2d/3d motion graphics, conceptual animations. In these years I've built a library of 3d models and 2d vector objects, so often i can concentrate to animation and compositing. Usually i produce about 3 or 4 videos a day.

Since last month, Adobe has been on a downhill. Sales are down, above all they are rejecting literally everything since middle of February. Also, some of my images are in review for 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 months now. Every month some of the images gets stuck in review. I am afraid, with the rise of AI, a day will come when they will reduce our royalties like istock and gutterstock.

this time they were quick!  :D

in 21 AI images submitted 3 days ago,16 rejected 2 approved and 3 left for review.

the 2 approved are the 2 images I spent the most time on,so probably a fair review in my opinion.

Of course it's not nice to have 16 images rejected,but in my opinion it's right that they only approve the best of the AI.

the last image I sent is an experiment,still in review,curious to know if it is acceptable,as for the videos they are still there in review.

Thanks for the speed!  :)

please try the small size thing. in the discord there is an ai uploader who just had 400 from 490 accepted and he points out that small size is important.

Thanks Cobalt,the two accepted are 4200x2400 and 3500x3500.

I'll eventually try to downsize the ones that were rejected and resend,so I'll see if it depends on the resolution.

Has the Enshittification of Adobe Stock begun?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

Probably yes (but I hope I'm wrong).

Like almost all Big Tech in recent years ... Follow the money: this is the only thing they are capable of doing.

No pursuit of quality, customer and collaborator services reduced to a minimum (there are stupid chatbots everywhere now), earnings according to the 80/20 scheme. 80% of the earnings to them and 20% of the earnings to us.

Unfortunately, today almost all companies follow this scheme: 70% marketing, 20% sales, 10% service/product ... and this is why we live in a world of products and services that are increasingly disgusting.

Yes, the minimum accepted resolution of 4 mpx is fine.

That's how capitalism actually works. At the beginning, you have to stand out from the crowd with good products or services in the market to be able to compete.

Later, when the large customer base becomes dependent on it, the quality and service/support are reduced and prices are increased. Until eventually a collapse occurs (creative destruction) and the game starts all over again. Currently, we are in the cycle of crap and are drifting towards the big collapse.

Weak monday again. 17 downloads / 12.62 USD sofar.

Will crash very hard the coming weeks since currently approx 60% to 70% are easter sales.
Also I expect that Trump's tarrifs will destroy the markets and we will see a big decline in the earnings.

no, that's just destruction & decay & may not see a replacement

creative destruction is a positive  process in which new innovations replace and make obsolete older innovations. -- word processing, transimstors, digital cameras, ...

Seems like a hard landing is coming this week.
Can't never ever catch up last week with normal downloads without extended licences.

Gonna prepare to rebound the coming decline ... the current position is time lagged from last week.



7,264 images / 255 images pending in review.

so no,the reason for the rejection of the 16 contents is not attributable to the size/resolution of the content,because I sent 4 again reducing the size but they were rejected anyway.

It doesn't matter for the 16 contents,but more than anything I wanted to try to understand why for future works.

so I was reading the official Adobe help pages about the criteria and timelines,and the points with which the team evaluates the contents are these:

-legal standards

-technical qualities

-title and keyword accuracy

-commercial value

-aesthetic properties

-uniqueness,both in relation to other content you,ve submitted and content already in our collection.

So a content must satisfy all of this to be accepted.

I think the biggest problem why many contents are rejected,in general for a while now for everybody, is the uniqueness of the content in relation to what is already present in the library,but as you can see the reasons can be many and the resolution/quality of the image is only one of these reasons.

Unfortunately,I don't have much time today in general,but I also have to figure out these videos that have not yet been reviewed,they are not the usual videos that I have always sent and that have always been accepted,so I have to understand why,so I will try various,new options,and I will process these videos again in different ways,and send them again,without deleting the videos that are still under review.

I'll figure this out somehow eventually!  :D

Adobe's rejections are 90% because of quality aspects. I guess that there are a lot of contributors who provide very good quality since the flux model is now very common.
So your competition might become a lot harder now.

true,although I think it's more of a 50/50 between quality and similar,but also these criteria have been around for a long time,so we can say with reasonable certainty,that these criteria are applied with greater intensity today.

Reviews have generally become more restricted,and the library has grown a lot in the last year,making it much more difficult to produce unique content that is also saleable.

Before all my AI content was accepted,it was really rare for me to get rejections,I have AI content for sale with a resolution of 5376 x 3072 and even better.

so in my opinion,today we need to take these points,listed previously,more carefully,and I am also quite sure that if unique contents are produced,even if they are not excellent in quality,but acceptable in quality,will still be accepted.

Some two weeks ago I submitted 3 photos (camera ones), they were all rejected for quality reasons within 24 hours. Few days later I resubmitted 1 of them (unrelated to the other 2) and it was accepted, again within 24 hours. I have not done any changes, no downsizing, nothing. I do not know how to explain it, but there seems to be some automated pre-selection system whose criteria probably got modified between my two submissions.
