Adobe Stock / Re: Keywords Changed

Did I just waste my time trying to carefully articulate my issue?  I'm clearly going to have to give up the freelance writing career as well.......  :(

Honest, it really did happen.  :-[

Adobe Stock / Keywords Changed
« on: September 03, 2019, 12:17 »
I began contributing to Adobe about a month or so ago and loaded up around 700 images in a short space of time.  Whilst doing some housekeeping a few weeks later, I noticed that keywords on approximately a quarter of my portfolio had been changed.  Keywords which are specific to the the subject matter have been removed e.g. an image of a hurricane had any and all references to a storm removed; and in some instances completely irrelevant keywords make up the list - an image of a bridge in norway references windmills and the netherlands, palm trees include christmas, ham is listed as all of chicken, beef, pork and fish.

I reported the issue and was told it was a known issue and an engineer was looking into it.  I'm guessing it was a test drive of image recognition software on live data.  I was advised to open each image in turn and manually remove the irrelevant keywords and add each keyword I considered missing by entering them one by one at the bottom of the edit board.  The case was then closed. 

Further requests have met with similar responses and the case immediately closed.  I've given up and started manually changing the keywords, but it's very time consuming.  Since my most recent request, I've also not had a sale.  Anyone else had a similar experience?  I dont have a massive port, I dont expect to make huge money, but I'd like at the very least to think my hard work was getting a fair crack of the whip and this doesn't feel like it.  In my opinion, not like Adobe.  The reason I started contributing was because I have been a customer for many years and felt it was a brand I could trust.  I've reluctantly decided to post here knowing that as a result there is a fair chance my port will be chucked to the bottom of the search pile and ALL my work will be wasted, but at the same time, it's not fair if this is happening to others without them realising.
