Thank you for responding.
We obviously have different strategies, but maybe my workstyle is for the old days.
Don't know if it is still true today, but some agencies have an "efficiency" factor. I.e. if you have a small port with a very good sales rate, your port gets promoted much better by the algos than a port with a very high fluff factor, or just dead files that don't sell.
So in addition to wanting to have a high acceptance rate, I hope my port does not have too much "fluff".
That is a lot easier to in themes that I understand well and much more difficult in genres where I am new, especially illustrations.
But since you are uploading such a very high volume and probably also very diverse content, not just abstract background waves...you can obviously make it work for you.
I keep trying to upload a higher volume, but I really, really struggle with that.
I have thousands of files that are ok, but not stellar, but need little processing.
Will try to upload them in a larger batch at some point, but perhaps not to Adobe, to keep Adobe as my prime port for ai.
Best of your luck with your journey, you already have more files than I will ever have on Adobe in my entire life.
Think about the majority of customers of ADOBE, shutterstock and freepik. Do they care you have done the little processing or not? Most of them CAN NOT TELL what they want, until they see it on the pages. Most of them have no aesthetic ability. AND, AI is killing stock image businesses. As far as I know, some news websites produce AI images and put them on stockimage websites to sell. THESE NEWS WEBSITE were customers of gettyimages. The Customers become Contributors! Therefore, what I can do is to make more money by producing a large number of pictures before the business completely disappears and before customers completely abandon the stock images industry. Maybe you will say that there will be high-end customers who choose high-end contributors, but why don't high-end customers pay for commercial customization services? Who of us can say that we are high-end enough to avoid being eliminated?

I have upload more than 100000 AI files to adobe stock. And I have developed some tools to help me to get it.
Such as
keywording automatically.
upscaling automatically.
remove the background automatically.
Upload automatically.
Submit automatically. (It is not work yet.) 
SO if you have some questions, You can ask me.
Yes, there is a question.
Why do you only speak about quantity?
Success in microstock is a good mix between quality and quantity, and this is a well known rule for any contributor.
Speaking only about quantity is not good way. 100K images... images of what? you have to find what to create. Or you could produce 100k similar files, that is a nonsense.
A good and quick workflow is for sure a good idea, but in terms of revenue it has 50% of weight.
So why do you speak about quantity only?
As someone else already told, there are a lot of contributors that do same or better results with 1/20, or maybe 1/50 of that numbers
The first of all, everyone who use Midjourney, could get images with THE SAME QUALITY. WHY I produce 100k simlilar files? I produce 4 images in one prompt. I dont use any repeated prompts unless the images are really good at selling. When you have more than 100000 or 200000 or more ai images, WHAT TO CREATE is meaningless. I CREATE EVERY THING.

I remove background by some technical process. I have upload more than 100000 AI files to adobe stock. And I have developed some tools to help me to get it.
Such as
keywording automatically.
upscaling automatically.
remove the background automatically.
Upload automatically.
SO if you have some questions, You can ask me.
Ok, I'll bite.
How do you remove the background automatically to produce good pngs?
I always have to refine every single file, so I find producing pngs quite tedious.
Do you have a good acceptance rate (over 90%)?
Because uploading many files just to have them declined is not very efficient.
Are you having good sales with your port?
50 dollars a week, 500 a week, 5000??? - just a sample range would be interesting for many I am sure.
100k files is what many people dream to have over a lifetime.
You are already there after 18 months.
If the PNG is not good, I will delete it. If the fingers are not good, I will delete it. If the face is ugly, I will delete it. The stock image markets are not seeking refined single files. They are seeking huge number files with it-is-ok-standard. So I am an images-producer now, not a photographer or artist. I have a 70%-95% acceptance rate for different batches. Images with people, acceptance is 70%.

Just one question: How many $$$ per month do you make with that strategy?
If you have 100 AI files on adobe stock, it is 1000 times.

eta: I also find the similars ok, as a buyer for me this is perfect. I hate having just one or two images from a series to chose from, I very much prefer to do my own selection.
Obviously, I dont want to see 200 images from the same shoot, but an intelligent selection of 30 images is great, if they are all nicely done and useful.
yes - I often get a block of downloads of similar; I figure designers DL several images and decide later
the argument of sales dilutions makes many unsupported assumptions - biggest one being sales of 1 image impact another ( so 6 individual sales worse than 6 of 1 image)
I have get 60 downloads from 1 customer several days ago. All the images are about sexy girl (the same model). Boys like sexy girls' photo. Maybe, they don't want to use them in there project. Their Annual Plans will expiring soon.

It is a long time since I came here last time.
My friends, if I have missed anything, please tell me.
I think after uploading 21,094 stock photos you should have no problems.
However rather than the old fashioned people on white backgrounds with obvious poses perhaps you should move up to date with realistic looking people doing realistic things.
Seems to be all the rage at the moment the whole fake reality thing.
And you have far too many similar images.
Thank you. I think quantity and quality are both important in stock images produce. But I know there are too many similar images. I alway want to pick up more and more images from one day's pictures.

Interesting portfolio. Most of the models looked about 26/27, although there were a couple that looked about 21/22.
Looks like you have quite a wide variety of poses, of people doing things in a wide variety of situations. Looks like you have a wide selection of photography, so I think you should be doing well/fine for people looking for asian models.
Trust me. The couple is about 30 years old.

Look at my portfolio of 21,000 images! It will help raise my rank in most relevant.
So you must not know that images with more download and less display in search result will show at the first page. I post my portfolio will not raise anyone's rank.

Some of your model images border on porn and child porn. I hope your female models are of legal age, some look childlike. Jumping goldfish has been replaced by people making hearts with their hands. Ugh.
Some are usable stock, though. I agree, way too many similars.
the girls' age are all above than 20, all of them. Maybe ... asians look younger than they are.

I have focus on stock images market for 1 year. And I have upload my files to 26 agencies to sell.
In those agencies, Superimagemarket.com gives the highest royalty---80%.
To day, I receive a Email from superimagemarket.com. The email says they start to recruit photographers to upload their photos. So I relied to them to ask them about why they give 80% royalty even 100% royalty for the first year. They told me they plan to offer a platform that provide artist to sell their works just like a Self-Hosted website.
I have registered. It is my 27th agency. I hope they can sell images well. So I can get more money than anyother stock images agency.
So what do you find about it?
here is the picture post in the Email.

I found my FILE be used by some website but how can I know Which websites have paid for my Picture. And which websites did not paid to me?
Some buyers would upload some picture they bought to some FREE-DOWNLOAD websites, to attract people who is seeking files to do their own design.
I have found so many files could be download from a FREE-DOWNLOAD website, as the same time those files was sold on SS,IS and so on.
What can I do, if I found my file was put there to be download for free?

As an iStock exclusive I am not clear on where else we can sell and license our work.
It appears, by the Artist Agreement, that we can sell prints online at Print-On-Demand sites like Fine Art America, Crated, etc... and on our own sites and through "our own" POD sites like Zenfolio, Smugmug, and Photoshelter.
Also, can we license our images through other-than-Getty, Rights Managed sites like Almany? Are there others?
As an IS Exclusive, where do you sell your work other than iStock and how effective are those other channels?
Thanks so much for your comments.
Or you can just quit the exclusive program. And you can upload your file anywhere you want.

I have registered, And i uploaded some file there.
When I just registered It cannot read the metadata,but now it can!
It so easy to upload an submit my files.
I asked some questions about the storage fee. And the answer is that if I register and apply for contributing, it will not charge any fee for storage my files forever.
But I think the superimagemarket will keep changing to improve the user experience. It is good to contributor and the stockagence itself.

thank you! Niakris!
It is very useful tool to add metadata to my photos.
I cannot upload any files to pond5 but I can open their website, and I can use my ftp software. It has been about 5 months.
