Todays bug seems to be no thumbnail being generated or shown for anything at all in the review/pending/reviewed queue.

Same here.

Just tried multiple times. Not working. Maybe the system is overloaded from sticking our Accepted work online!  ;D

I'm wondering - does Adobestock still want photos? Should I just stop submitting? Be nice if they communicated why they've suddenly stopped accepting my work, after many years of working together.

It's like they tossed aside long-term contributors of photos (commercial) and now very recently video to go all in on ai. Not good at all and cynical.

Exactly! That's how it feels.

Same here, uploaded 300 images like 2 months ago and still I have 75 in pending, never been in this situation with Adobe, I am really curios what is the reason behind it.

I think everyone is curious as to why reviews now take so long. Not having this problem at Shutterstock.

Finally.  :o
It took more than 8 weeks to review uploaded images, but it seems that Adobe started to moderate something that is not AI.

Congrats! Now hopefully they will start on everyone elses (fingers crossed)  ;)

Meanwhile over at Shutterstock it only takes 48 hours max...

Adobe Stock photo tip of the day: Shoot Christmas themed imagery in September 2024 and they will be on market by September 2025. Shoot back to school images now so that they will be on the market by next school year.

Buyers are going to realize that AdobeStock is "old" stock and head over to other sites, like Shutterstock - who only take 48 hours to review and make available to buyers.

I've got files submitted a month ago still waiting to be reviewed. Yet Shutterstock only taking 24 hours to review. Maybe Adobe need to splash out on more reviewers?  :)

Maybe Adobe need to STOP prioritizing Ai content ?

Or at least add other content moderation to moderators "team" daily target ?

Considering that for more than month nothing but Ai illustrations and " photos" were reviewed ?

Agree 100%

I had ONE accepted!  :D
Shutterstock is accepting everything very quickly (within 24hrs).

My weekly ranking went up a bit after the $5 Free images accepted.

Do you only create photographs or also illustrations and vectors?
Either way, it's quite an achievement these days.



Photos only. Thanks  :D

How many photos you sell daily in average for that rank?

200

Thanks! Decades  :) sole operator.
Rank 161 is really impressive - and even more so as an individual!

It's definitely great to see that this is possible :-)

Thanks. Years of hard work and long hours paid off! Definitely possible with persistence and common sense  ;D

LOL thanks!  ;D

Congrats Stocky! how many years youve been doing stock and re you a singe contributor or a business?

Thanks! Decades  :) sole operator.

What is revenue like @ 161st position? Are you doing $10k+/month?

I can't comment for Stocky but when I'm at the 100 - 200 weekly rank it's no where near $10k per month but I only do images with a small amount of footage. I probably hit a max of $3500 - $4500 a month at that point. If you mainly supply footage with a 100-200 rank then I could imagine 10k+ per month.

For me, I have a quiet spell at this time of year and drop to about 850 weekly rank. Thankfully it only lasts a short spell before improving.

Agreed, I'm the same.

Nowhere near $10k a month, I wish!  ;D

That is so impressive! What an achievement to do it all by yourself!
How much time per week do you spend on stock?

Thanks. At one point I was working til midnight then getting back up at 3. Crazy! Now I work smart, not hard  ;)

I see that the issue is widespread. I haven't had it this bad since June and now July for the past 9 years, even though I've been uploading to Shutterstock since 2014. Back then, my portfolio was a fraction of what it is now, and uploading new content didn't feel like throwing it straight into the trash. I've also noticed that very few subscriptions are selling; only on-demand images are moving.

Maybe buyers are shifting over to Adobe Stock, as sales there keep increasing?
