Well, they recently removed one image of mine for "Audit removal: Incompatible with Terms". This was originally submitted 4 years ago pre AI (and I have never submitted AI) and is a landscape with no man-made anything in it. I have no idea what term it was incompatible with. They might have removed more, I just noticed this because it was at the top of the list briefly before getting shuffled back to slot it in 4 years ago.

I can accept the loss of a few images if they actually cleaned house on the AI slop, but I don't really trust them to be competent with much, it might just be more of the acceptance lottery in effect.

There appears to be some housecleaning underway, although adding up subtotals appears to be beyond Adobe Stock. Today the collection total reports as 903,940,267, down quite a bit from the reported 905,775,578 on April 23

If you add today's genAI and exclude genAI subtotals, the collection is only 900,831,252 (versus 905,587,700 by adding subtotals April 23) nearly 5 million fewer items in just over a month.

Today the collection is 52.14% human-created, up from 51.5% Apr 23

Almost all the asset types have fewer genAI items over that period, but genAI vectors have increased (28,963,599 today vs 26,700,277 Apr 23)

A big drop in genAI illustrations: 4,410,698 fewer

If I hadn't looked at today's acceptances into the collection (AI slop is still coming in, sadly) I'd feel somewhat optimistic

That would be great news !!!!
I think that Adobe is quite aware that human creators are not willing to compete with AI crap and human creators definitely NOT UPLOADING so much content as before.
Complete Serbian "moderation team" wasn't working last Friday  (22. May. 2026 ) due -NOT ENOUGH FILES FOR MODERATION.

That fits with Jills observation, Adobe getting only 500k non ai files a week now.

I wonder what it is like at other agencies. Is anyone following the acceptance vomune on shutterstock and istock?

Is that also just 500k a week now?

To me that looks like uploading camera content is now an advantage with less competition.
