Adobe Stock / Adobe Roulette Rejections @Raul.Ceron

Hi Raul,
Are you able to shed any light on the roulette style of inspections and rejections? I think a lot of us would like to be informed of why the rejections are so random, unpredictable, and in many cases senseless. Is there a bug at Adobe that is causing this? There are pages and pages of concern from contributors on this forum. It takes a lot of effort to produce content and upload. The reason given to have work randomly rejected with a cookie cutter 'quality issue' or 'similar' when neither of those apply. Uploading to Adobe is an incredibly frustrating event, bordering on being a waste of time, because of the random rejections. I think we all understand rejection but this is way beyond logic.
I have been a full time stock photographer for 40+ years and I have never seen anything like what is going on from Adobe with the random rejections. I don't have the time to re-submit my work in hopes of winning at the roulette style of getting my images accepted. My acceptance rate at many other agencies is very high and sells with frequency.
If you would be so kind as to explain to us what is going on and give us all some clarity it would go a very long way in the goodwill department. I am not asking you to share trade secrets, but a little bit of professional courtesy from Adobe would go a long way.
Thanks in advance.
