Thank you,

Judging by the number that you have chosen, you will have a very small collection. You started on a grand scale, but in the end everything was blown away to a minuscule. Probably the price of 8 dollars is expensive for you. That's why I wrote, reduce the price to 4-5 dollars.
According to the photo there were several rounds, at least 3.

How many have you been nominated?

In my opinion, we were greatly deceived, hmm. They waved dollars in front of their noses and showed the muzzle.
Why reassure people if you weren't going to take a lot of videos anyway.
Adobe drew mountains of gold for the authors, and as a result threw a handout. This is not correct behavior.

Adobe basically said, and i'm paraphrasing but still, "we're looking for videos for our free collection. We've highlighted which ones are eligible for the collection in your dashboard. Take a look, decide which ones you'd like to nominate, and then we'll decide which videos we'd like to include from all the nominated files".

Anything over and above that is your own interpretation... so you only have yourself to blame. You basically deceived yourself... and that's not correct behaviour.

Why were you deceived? Were did Adobe claim that they would accept all or even a great part of the nominated videos into their free collection? Adobe has been pretty transparent about this. If you thought they'd take all or most videos then that's because you didn't read or understand the offer properly.

Yes, I personally don't worry too much, I don't have 0. But I think that many here on the forum will have 0 or around it.
Just the approach itself, write to people that you will receive so many thousands of dollars, and then accept nothing at all.
It would be interesting to read here how much they took.
Also, if you remember this program from the photo, then the photo was taken more and there were at least 3 rounds, if not more.
So far, I can see that adobe has a very meager and limited budget, which means that adobe is having a bad time.
Yes, and foolishness is everything, nominate a bunch of videos, promise a bunch of dollars, and then accept 0 or a couple of grand.

If there are those who take part in this program and think that adobe did not fool them, write about it.

As always, you still don't bother to read anything, you don't know how this works, and of course, for this reason, your opinions have value near to zero for anyone.

It never happen (and never told by Adobe) that there should be multiple rounds.
Adobe offers to buy some selected of your photos/clips for ONE TIME FOR ONE YEAR.

This was for the photo, and this is for clips.
After one year some or all photos and clips could be choosen again for another year.

ONE TIME OFFER. NO MULTIPLE MONTHLY BUYOUT.

If you still don't understand this I don't know what are you doing here, probably just to put confusion and misleading posts

Nowhere did Adobe PROMISE you any amount of $ at all. All they did was give you a selection of images to nominat with absolutely no promise of accepting them into the free gallery.

You are obviously completely off topic. Adobe clearly wrote in my account that he wanted to nominate my video, indicated the amount and indicated the amount that I would earn.

Her Ugliness, did you have at least one video nominated?

I am certainly not "off topic" as the topic is Adobe Stock Free Collection and that's what I am talking about.

And no, Adobe was very clear. This is the EXACT text of the message:

The text said:

Quote from: Adobe
You've got X eligible assets that could earn up to X€ upfront if seltected for the free selection.

No one expect you thought he'd definitely get the possible maximum amount, not for photos, not for vectors and not for videos.

You have a history of not reading/ thinking things through it seems. Slow down and take deep breath.

1. We are not in court.
2. This marketing stunt greatly offended the authors who agreed to participate. If Adobe initially planned to accept 0 or several videos from people, you need to write about it. Then most of the authors would have responded by refusing to participate in the program.
3. Are you an Adobe lawyer?

The topic author should not have created this topic at all, and advertise what will not be done. Here on the forum, legal contracts are not signed and communication does not take place in the courtroom. Here it is customary to trust each other.
Of course, I did not understand if adobe will continue to accept videos in the next months, then it will be a normal conversation. But if that's all, it looks extremely bad.

Once again, spot on. And I thought you said you didn't understand English perfectly? Seems you do just fine.

2. This marketing stunt greatly offended the authors who agreed to participate.

Adobe only chose the clips they believe to have a certain appeal to potential new customers.

If you didn't get your clips selected, it means your clips are not good enough to generate interest, hence not worth those $8/year. From this point of view Adobe is no different than any paying customer.

Instead of feeling offended, it may be advisable to revisit your quality and relevance standards.

Could you share the data from the surveys, forum postings, focus groups and/or meetings you've held for you to arrive at this conclusion?

Yes the stunt was offensive, but only because they thought we contributors love to give stuff away for a measly $8 to be featured in a free collection... Oh, that's not what you meant?

No, that's not what I meant at all. I meant that it's one thing to give away 1-10 videos for $8, and another thing to give away 200-1000 videos for $8. So it makes no sense to give a few videos, but there are 1000, because. 8x1000=8000 dollars.

Compared to others here who wrote in the topic, I have a lot of videos were nominated and approved. But only in comparison to others. What can you brag about?

If 1000 videos cannot gather at least 36 downloads of $28 in a year, then yes, giving them away for $8 is an okay deal. But then you probably have some quality issues with your portfolio to worry about.
