Adobe Stock / Account blocked - another story
« on: September 14, 2023, 00:29 »
Wow! 16 years of experience in the stock industry. Gone through the tough school of early iStock quality control - Jasmin knows what Im talking about :-). After giving up iStock exclusivity 6 years experience as Adobe Stock contributor with a very high acceptance rate. Currently 4000 assets and heading for 18000 downloads in 2023, all time rank below 3600, weekly around 1000. You know how much effort goes into building such a portfolio and I think I produced value for Adobe.
On Tuesday evening my account was blocked and I am waiting for the verdict. Have played around with AI a little bit, but wasnt satisfied with the image quality. So I only have a very limited AI portfolio. After the new warning not to use in the style of I even proactively deleted all images which might pose a problem.
So in fact Im more of a victim of the AI spammers because of the long inspection times. And now Adobe blocked my portfolio without explanation and lets me wait until someone has time to explain. Adobe used to be my favorite and most valuable agency because it seemed to be the most fair one - you can be so wrong.
Im hoping for a speedy and fair trial so I can move on - you can imagine my daily loss of revenue and opportunities for seasonal uploads which are waiting on my hard drive. A solution for me might be reactivating my shutter account which I cancelled in protest of their new payment structures of 2020. Or even going exclusive with iStock again.
PS: I dont know whether I got the Wednesday surprise bonus for AI training, since my account was already blocked.
