Not a bad start to the week with earnings but that's what I thought last week and that ended with the worst week of all year 2025.

Well I guess it would depend how many of those you made perpetual and if they choose the same amount of perpetual as yearly.
Have you received funds for free images this year? I've 66 images in free collection but no funds yet? When we should expect some $$$?

Can anyone offer some insightful experiences with the new unlimited subscription model?
I opted out as soon as I received the email from Shutterstock.
However, since the "unlimited only" filter appears to be a permanent feature, I might give it a try.
I'm interested in hearing about the experiences of video contributors, if any of you have opted in.

Well the second video file that was exported from Sony Movie Studio (that runs for 42 seconds) was successfully submitted to SS. I was also able to submit this file to P5 and AS as well. No problems at all.
Maybe I'll get MediaInfo to analyse both video files so that a comparison could be made.

Isnt a summer slump expected every year? Why would it be different this year?

If 95% of the assets were properly prepared that means >2500 were not. That is a lot of improper assets.
I certainly would welcome Adobe cleaning up the worst of the AI slop, but just closing accounts without proper communication is a poor move, and from a quick look at search it doesn't seem like they are really cleaning things up. They really need to do a better job of communicating what they are doing and what they want from us.

It is very frustrating to read, cannot imagine what the experience is like. Perhaps post a link to the discussion here to many adobe forums and groups. Then perhaps this can be a cemtral place for people with this problem. From cross reading it serms to take several months to get a reply. The most important you can do is to aggressively build up your ports on other agencies. Dont be dependent on one place. I hope you get your port back.
Despite the rules, I still shared my situation on the official Adobe Discord channel (even though discussing account issues there is not allowed). Community members were sympathetic and advised me to wait, but I never received any response from official Adobe representatives. I also created a topic on the official forum at community.adobe.com and the same thing happened: users expressed support, but no one from Adobe responded. In fact, no one can do anything except suggest to "just wait."From what Ive found online, many contributors are experiencing similar issues. Some receive responses within a few days, others wait for months. Some get their accounts reinstated, while others are ignored entirely. A few have been able to get help via the online customer support chat. Ive also tried that, and Ive sent messages to Adobes official Facebook page. Each time, I was politely told that my case would be forwarded to the appropriate department for expedited review. But months have passed and nothing has changed.This state of uncertainty is emotionally draining and financially difficult. I do have portfolios on other platforms, but Adobe Stock has always been my main source of income. Its suspension has hit me hard. Honestly, its hard to believe that a company as large as Adobe would allow support delays like this. Isnt three months enough time to at least provide an official response?I sincerely hope someone from Adobe sees this post or that other contributors whove faced similar issues find it online and can offer advice or point me in the right direction. Maybe someone can share direct contact information for an Adobe Stock representative who can help move my case forward. If a support case has been officially registered, then the company is obligated to respond. I truly hope that will still happen.Adobe representatives, are you here? Please get in touch with me.

Re-reading this... "50k" AI images... Even though I know what I'm doing, that... is a fair amount, to do accurately. (Did you do 'ai footage' as well, or was it just the images?)
What kind of quality control did you do, or did you just churn out as much as you could as fast as possible? Assuming you (probably like many with that volume) didn't have good quality control - so you either have an excessive number of IP issues (i.e. "statue of liberty"), or - significant keywording issues (i.e. you have say a picture of an orange with totally unrelated keywords like "race car, building", etc, etc...
That, I suspect is probably what triggered it... In response to your question yes, in addition to approximately 50,000 AI-generated images, my portfolio also included around 1,500 AI-generated videos. It was a significant and meticulous effort both in terms of generation and proper attribution. Of course, I understand that not everything can be perfect, but based on my own assessment, about 95% of all uploaded AI assets were correctly and conscientiously prepared. As for similars yes, they may have occurred. When working with such a high volume of content, its challenging to create something entirely unique every single time. Still, I did my best to maintain variety. After all, thats what the moderation team is for to filter out excess and approve only what meets the standards. Adobe and contributors like myself are in this together we both care about quality and consistent revenue. I fully understand that moderation takes resources, but it should be a two-way process. And if there are any issues, we contributors are ready to adjust, improve, and grow. Regarding IP concerns given the scale of my portfolio, the risk should be minimal. If there were any violations, they were likely rare and unintentional. I always did my best to avoid problematic or risky content. Additionally, I dont understand why if the issue is suspected to be with AI content the entire account was deactivated. Why not just temporarily disable the AI-generated assets pending review, instead of removing access to an entire portfolio of 50,000+ video footages that were created with years of effort and dedication? That kind of action feels extremely disproportionate, especially for someone who has been contributing for over 10 years.What concerns me the most, however, is the complete lack of communication. It feels like a sign of disrespect toward the contributors the very people who generate the content that powers this platform. Were in the same boat. When problems arise, the logical path is to discuss them, find solutions, and improve the system not to simply deactivate accounts without explanation or ignore official support requests submitted through the proper channels (which were even assigned case numbers). Waiting over three months for a response is simply not acceptable.Is there anyone from the Adobe team actually reading this forum?
