now 6800

I seem to move up in increments of 20, like every week or 10 days

Similar to my size but more sales, well done!

This morning I had 8 files accepted that I uploaded yesterday, so this is encouraging. All are photo ai, single uploads from vastly different genres.

I am now making the files smaller, sizes around 1600*2800 or 1700*3022.

Perhaps the smaller size helps.

Other files still in the queue, 18 at the moment.

Might remove that are in there longer and perhaps reprocess/downsize them.

Now I will test ai illustrations, then camera photos and videos.

Current lifetime is 6820

of course...

treading water at the moment, stable rank with a few ups and downs

i am very frustrated with the new random review system. while i have not been hit again with the similar decline, i am tired of uploading the more boring things that they like to take - people and food, but that is a slow seller.

But the few better ones I uploaded got a quality decline and I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with them.

I should take this as an incentive to do more for other agencies, especially video.

Will keep uploading to adobe, but in smaller volume.

Also anyway doing more camera stuff again to have content for everywhere.

Thank you for the article. I am teaching a class tomorrow will add that to the link list.

I anyway warn people about the scammers and that earning money from stock is a slow and steady process.

Then you are doing much better than most at the moment.

I have now deleted all the stuck files in will gradually add them to new uploads.

I hope my current review experience stays. I rarely have declines but got hit by the similar bug even though there are no visual similars on Adobe or in my port. I often use the similar search tool to test a new series for uniqueness.

If single image uploads solves this, I will just keep on doing it.

Looks like they are experimenting with ai reviews and the software is doing a bad job.

eta

another 3 files accepted. and no declines in the last 4 days.

I will stick to single image uploads for a while.

while i am worried about the coming us recession i also just read it is spring break in the us

we will see if it picks up nexr week

i am very worried that with all that is going on clients are postponing projects or saving money

then the dollar might fall

but it is good to share data to see that the problem is not in our ports

This is a good step forward.

I don't know why, but lately people are opening several accounts and treating Adobe like an etsy merch store.

It is probably the previous experience they have, one store per product or genre type.

But a stock portfolio does much better with all sales combined.

Perhaps Adobe could also produce a little video clip explaining the difference between stock agencies and regular web shops.

And those large scale producers that really need a second account for valid reasons can still get one if they really want it or are over 1 million files.

for editorial video it is mostly pond5 and shutterstock. dreamstime and deposit take it as well, but i have no idea how the sales are.

if anyone knows a great place for editorial video i would love to hear it.

@halffull

There is a drastic algo change at adobe that makes file acceptance a weird lottery with no logic at all.

Look into various groups or the adobe discord.

I have removed all people images from the queue and I am not uploading what I hope become bestsellers.

I am uploading single images from different series always like 10-20 min apart.

Nothing experimental, nothing with high sales potential. bland boring but useful enough to remain visible in the sea of new uploads.

For 20 years I have been doing stock, never had an experience as weird and drastic as this change.

Ok, those upload numbers are fine. I was concerned you had taken a several month break.

Are you getting a lot of competition, especially for former best selling files?

Otherwise the suggestion still stands to upload 70% video for a few months. Videos of course also need time to get picked up and downloaded, but there is much less competition and ai cannot steal your local location ideas.

So if you buy a SS share at 19 dollars, getty will pay you 28 dollars for the merger per share?

hm

If yes, then why is 28 dollars not a stable floor?

This looks like somebody knows something negative.
