How many $ you made with SS before opp out ? 100 $ per month ? 10 $ per month ? if the answer is 10$ or 100$ yes you should stop uploading and delete your portfolio

It means you shouldn't try reuploading stuff that is too similar. They've loosened up their similars policy since the royalty cuts, because they're more desperate for content than ever, but if you still get rejections like these, then it probably is too similar to your previous work.

Either try to create something more unique or don't upload at all (because putting in more effort for SS is not worth it anymore).

Well, leave it be then.

Or keep the reviewers busy and waste their time by uploading rejectable content, that way it's keeps them from reviewing the better content.

Possibilities:

- Crop the photo on one side.
- Make it a mirror.
- Convert it to black and white.
- Change the order of the phrases or words in the title and remove any word from the keywords.
- If you uploaded it during the week, match it to match in the weekend examiner.
- Save it in a folder with the name Upload to SS in the month of August
- Upload it as an illustration, after rejection, upload it as an image. The reviewer sees the impending rejection, but understands that it is a rejection by mistake, and is likely to approve it, if it does not coincide with the reviewer who has that rejection in mind for a few days, or his friend who reviews the rejections supervised by the fellow friend, it is the most effective.

There is a possibility that the reviewer has a comment for colleagues... this user we are going to soften slightly, he is trying to upload again, watch out, if he uploads again, reject.

However, in August, there will be other possible comments on the review panel, or the August supervisor ignores Julio's supervisor.
