I'm sad to say even in my best years as a 3D modeler/ animator, I couldn't approach what these AI tools can do in seconds.
Don't I know it. What it would take to get some of these single images would take days or weeks. Heck, you can even have AI make you a 3d model now!

I just bought into Midjourney last week to try out the fun and I have to say, it is terrible for getting anything usable. Cant create any kind of cohesive series of non people images, like similar backgrounds with different objects from different angles. The clothing on people is terrible, pockets that dont match, clothing pieces connected, things attached in weird places. And if you get a character you like, you cant repeat it. Honestly Im amazed anyone gets anything useful out of this.
Sure, for a fun one off of something fantasy, it works. But repeatable reality?

I got the email and I have no idea which were removed. Because they could be buried in my pages of rejections somewhere.

Congratulations on completely crashing and burning SS! I made $60 which is about 1/5 of what I made my first month in March of 2013.

I ignore anything from PayPal. Never had an issue. I report my income as I always do - cash accounting.

I'm really disappointed - I no longer qualify for anything free from Adobe Stock.
Same here, with over 6000 downloads and around 30 added files in 2024 I don't qualify for anything free from Adobe Stock. I only upload stuff that I think will sell - thus I never upload a lot of content and I think with a portfolio of < 1k assets and > 6k downloads I wasn't that wrong in the past.
The new bonus rules really prefer AI spammers. So this year I might simply upload a ton of ugly LCV cr*p from my phone, just to qualify for the 2026 bonus - if this is what Adobe wants us to do. 
Exactly my boat.

This is the second time I've gotten this. Anyone else? Obviously, I've sold a file or two previously, lol.

Dear Exclusive Artist, This July, we will begin a short-term test on new price tiers for HD and 4K clips to simplify purchasing and appeal to buyers with frequent licensing needs. We continually test and improve our marketplace to offer buyers the best possible experience and drive increased content licensing. These include pricing tests, which have historically excluded your Exclusive content. However, to see the full effects of this change, we feel that its critical to include Exclusive content in this experiment. One of our primary missions at Pond5 is to help our artists thrive. Our success is dependent on your success. As the royalty-free stock licensing market changes, more competitors emerge, including several offering unlimited subscriptions at low prices. We must consider adjusting our pricing model to meet the needs of todays buyers. You are not required to take any action, and we will keep you informed of any long-term changes planned as a result of this test. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact our Support team at [email protected]. Thank you, as always, for being a valued part of our community.

On track to make less $$$ than I did my first month in 2013. The lowest in 11 years.
Good job, SS!

That week I had about $200 in sales. Around 12,000 images in portfolio. Only $1/wk for 4,000 assets is pretty bad honestly. If you can post your portfolio, I can give you an advice. My portfolio is below.

Nice portfolio.

I was wondering if we can go exclusive with them? If yes then what royalty do they offer?
You are welcome to submit to Adobe Stock exclusively! The royalty rate we offer is 33% for images and 35% for videos. I should mention, that is the same rate we offer to those who are not submitting exclusively to Adobe Stock also 
Sadly, we do not have an exclusivity program, but I think it's great you would consider it if there was!

I was selling our dining room set for $500 or whatever, just to get it gone. People would ask, how much for just the china cabinet, and I'd say $500, and you get a free table and 6 chairs.

The message was simple - the new iPad can take the place of all these things and be your new creative tool. The execution was horrific because you didnt know where it was going until the final punchline.

It's dataset earnings
Just check in financial page of your account, easy to find
The email notice is confusing. Wooooo, $.11 on my exclusive profile. Their contributor profile page is not working. Neither is their Facebook login app.
