I have some pics hanging out there for 6 months, is it some kind of record?

I still have some old pictures to aprove, but the new uploads are reviewed now within max 3 days, most of them within 48 hours, some even within less than 24 hours. yesterday I uploaded a bunch of pictures (60) and they are reviewed already.

Are the "max 3 days" items non-editorial non-AI photographs?

This is my current best.

non editorial ai pictures, I dont call them photos because I think just real photos should be called photos

Im starting to think AS dont want any real pictures or videos any more.  They're only interested in shoving through more and more AI at the expense of everything else.

Review queue for me now has hundreds waiting going back 5 months.  Videos are 3 weeks and counting.

The same images were accepted and selling well elsewhere.

don't think there is any rhyme or reason to this but rather they are just throwing images randomly in the queue.
My longest real image was over a year before it was reviewed, but I've had other real images submitted months after and ended up getting reviewed in days, while others may take months.

With video it seems fairly consistent at around 3 weeks.

AI images are also all over the board. some can take a month, other will get approved the same day.

I donno?!

There is certainly factor of randomness but not 100%.   Atlas comet photos were reviewed overnight as there was very narrow window such images were of interest.

The most disturbing thing to me is total lack of transparency.    "It might take up to 8 weeks" - not saying why or anything, in addition it takes much more than 8 weeks.  It is disrespectful.   Whatever the case, Firefly must take over, make your pick - but please tell us what is happening. 

yesterday I uploaded a bunch of wallpapers and they are reviewed already. but for others i am waiting for 3 month now. dont know why.

A few weeks ago, the video was under review for no more than 3 days.

I have an illustration pending for more than 3 months now. Videos used to get reviewed in a day or two. Now I have a couple that are pending for more than 2 weeks. I guess there's a huge influx of AI videos too

Early September 2024 I had a batch of about 10 hand drawn black and white grayscale illustrations in AdobeStock accepted within 2 weeks or so.

Yesterday between 10 pm and midnight I uploaded a mix of 40 pictures (Faces, Landscape, Food, Wallpapers). Its 9:30 AM now and they are reviewed already.

Out of curiosity if not asking too much, what is your Ranking (Position) on Dashboard Main Screen?

i have no ranking, because i just started some month ago... this week is my best week with position 21200.

just uploaded some more pics 1 hour ago. lets see tomorrow.

done, so it was 10-12 hours.

Just uploaded 6 videos, one approved within a minute time, 5 of them are "in review". Together with ones uploaded 20 days ago.
Considering that "upload not working" issue that occurred last few days and all this review time bugs, it seems that Adobe implementing something new in a upload/review process.

I have continued to see the pattern of overnight reviews for photos with property releases versus long waits (2 months+) without.

Oh, and the property-release reviewers don't work weekends

And after you wait a few weeks... "Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, this image doesn't meet our quality standards so we can't accept it into our collection."  I know, yes, the same images have been accepted and sell everywhere else, but wouldn't it be nice to have at least a hint at WHY?

Same here. Review time is 2-3 days for AI images. But it initially took 4 weeks and everytime something got reviewed, I uploaded more and the review time subsequently reduced everytime. Although with Adobe Stock most review processes seem random, I am seeing consistent review times within 2-3 days if you daily upload once something gets reviewed and I don't think this is an coincidence. Looks more to me as some mechanism to review bigger contributor faster. Yes, there are some occasionally images that get lost in limbo, some are stuck in moderation for 6 months, but that is the minority. The big bulk gets reviewed fast.

FWIW, I just had a few non-editorial photos reviewed within a week or so. Maybe they are starting to catch up?....or maybe it is random...time will tell.

I am 100% with you & this is very frustrating.  I'll share something interesting:   Couple of yrs ago, when reviews were still regular (not '8 weeks')  I had perfect RF image rejected for "quality reasons".  Submitted to Alamy as single image to make sure someone looked at it, no problem.  Kept re-submitting to AS, reject reject reject.  Normally I'd just let it go, but it pissed me off because it was really high technical quality.  So I found a way to contact reviewer directly asking why.   Next day - image was accepted.   That first led me to think AI has much more to do with review process from what we think.

Ive had some issues like that, if not AI entirely like SS and others i suspect theres pre-screening to an extent or at least filtering which review branch it goes into.

Had a few wildlife shots in a sequence rejected for AI lately.  They're all shot on Mirrorless where the only edit is cropping and levels in LR.  Some get through, others are "AI" rejected.

thats exactly what i think... the more you upload, the faster it gets. yesterday i had 20 pictures reviewed within 1 hour and 95% success rate.

Yes, so may be Spamming is the future?
