My Aurora images just got accepted. Oh that's the ones I uploaded in August. So much for timely review so something in the news can be used.

Maybe if you take a photo of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS?   By the time it's around here again,  Adobe might review your photos?

My video reviews now take longer than before.

+100
Adobe probably fired the people who check the videos. I have hundreds of videos piling up, but Adobe doesn't check them.

Nope. They just prioritize AI video. AI before old contributors, sorry to say that, but nothing new.   

I have over 1000 files waiting for review. Some files already passed 7 months 😂😂😂😂. What a joke. These files already started to make money on other platforms.

Can authors upload videos created with the help of artificial intelligence?
Does anyone here upload such videos?

I uploaded winter snow/ski shots at the usual Sep timeframe to get the sales.
They're selling elsewhere.  Not a single one yet reviewed on Adobe. Nor the videos.

I guess i needed to upload winter and Christmas shots in July then.

Its a farce now.  My review queue is getting huge due to the 4 month plus delay in processing anything at all.

The conclusion is obvious. Adobe sent all its employees to check the works created by artificial intelligence. Adobe is no longer interested in photos and videos created without artificial intelligence.

What's more likely, the reviewers are focusing on AI, or AI has taken over the reviewers and is only reviewing AI images as they have an affinity for images of their computer generated world. Skynet is learning.

I had the highly unusual experience yesterday of uploading a photo (non-AI, non-editorial), having it reviewed, and getting its first sale all within 24 hours! Several others from the same batch also got reviewed in a day. But about half the batch remains, probably sent to the slow queue.

Where is MatHayward? Let him explain to people why Adobe stopped checking new videos. Maybe Adobe should just announce that they don't need the content, and then the authors won't waste time uploading it.

If adobe could come up with a mixed system, a few files that get accepted very quickly while the rest are moved to a slower queue, I think that would help a lot to deal with the frustrations.

They could let an ai try to identify the most useful files and take them quickly. And if the files sell, then move the rest of the series forward.

There must be a better solution to what is happening now.

Of the 2 videos I uploaded last night, 1 was accepted today. The other is waiting for review. Since they have a similar concept (sunset timelapse from different locations), the description and tags are the same. Both are horizontal videos. (Vertical videos are reviewed faster)

Of the 4 videos I previously submitted, 2 were reviewed and accepted in 2 days. The other 2 were accepted 1 week later. I currently have videos waiting for review for 16 days and photos waiting for 30 days. None of them are AI.

My thoughts on the fast and slow queues are that Adobe may be outsourcing reviews to two or more providers, and the distribution between them is not weighted very well, or perhaps some of the providers are not so fast at reviewing. I only know for sure of one of their providers, which is a Serbian company called Mod381.

adobe also said they want to triple their review team. which of course could also mean more outsourced partners.

but i am sure they are involving ai in distribution review. it would be stupid if they didn't. especially if the ai can gradually learn to identify the most useful content, pull the best files out faster and adjust the queue accordingly.

but to include a factor to at least have some content from a batch approved faster could be a real help.

maybe that is what Mat is now working on. an improved content management and approval system.

Some people sheeps here like to praise... Adobe stuck
Congratulations to Adobe for managing its content perfectly, this image is the perfect illustration (shame!!!).

he said he moved on/up to a new role in content management. that is why he said he will not be checking in here anymore. i am sure there are other people from adobe following the discussions here and elsewhere.

I don't understand the wild inconsistency in review times. I only submit human-created photographs

In early August I submitted a batch of photos that were approved in about 3 weeks. In mid-to-late August I submitted another batch that are still in the queue nearly 8 weeks later.

Yesterday I submitted two images and they are approved this morning!

The only possible explanation I can invent is that there was a property release on yesterday's images and none of the others needed or had one. Could released images go through a different group in the inspection team(s)??

1. So Mat has become useless for the authors, he doesn't read this forum and doesn't know the problems.
2. No one has seen other people from Adobe here on the forum.

Mat does not care, he is a salaried employee of Adobe. He is nothing more than a salaried customer care specialist who gives prescribed cookie cutter answers. He will be replaced by another bot soon enough. Mat has moved on.

Maybe? Are other producers seeing the same, if it has a release it goes through faster?

I haven't noticed that pattern. It seems very random.

I still have some older stock in the queue, but new uploads are usually approved within 2-5 days. However, I have the feeling that the approval process has become stricter. My rate went down from 85% to 80% this week and cant see the reasons. Of course is "Quality", but some images that I viewed more critically were approved, while others that I considered unproblematic were rejected. But at the end everything is fine for me, I dont complain.

Might be true. I just uploaded the Full Moon and if it gets reviewed by December, it will be current events?

Nice Moon!  But here's something interesting:  Out of curiosity I did search on Adobe Stock as Customer for "comet tsuchinshan-atlas".   And there are 40+ results!   This is very current thing, so someone images were reviewed almost instantly.   There is some sort of "Adobe Rank" determining how fast images are reviewed,  contributor specific, content specific or maybe both.

It's also interesting that editorial images seem to go through quickly (overnight).

It could be, but it's difficult to understand why some images are reviewed in few days and others in weeks, from same session, series, or same subject. Actually I see AI illustration approved in few hours while I have some video, non Ai, in queue for two months and more
Quite difficult to see a rule, it really seems very random
