I still have some old pictures to aprove, but the new uploads are reviewed now within max 3 days, most of them within 48 hours, some even within less than 24 hours. yesterday I uploaded a bunch of pictures (60) and they are reviewed already.

Same here. Review time is 2-3 days for AI images. But it initially took 4 weeks and everytime something got reviewed, I uploaded more and the review time subsequently reduced everytime. Although with Adobe Stock most review processes seem random, I am seeing consistent review times within 2-3 days if you daily upload once something gets reviewed and I don't think this is an coincidence. Looks more to me as some mechanism to review bigger contributor faster. Yes, there are some occasionally images that get lost in limbo, some are stuck in moderation for 6 months, but that is the minority. The big bulk gets reviewed fast.

thats exactly what i think... the more you upload, the faster it gets. yesterday i had 20 pictures reviewed within 1 hour and 95% success rate.

Not really seeing that. Im catching up on a 8 month backlog so uploading *A LOT* at the moment after a long time of uploading very little.

Older stuff is stuck for months, presumably it'll never get reviewed.
Newer stuff, about 3/4 of it is getting reviewed in a day or 2. The 25% that doesnt is still sitting with the rest. That isnt changing regardless of the quantity in the queue or ready to submit at all. They just seem to be grabbing the newest uploads from your queue as/when theres a slot available randomly.

It almost feel like there is some kind of a parallel review stream.

I uploaded two different vectors with same topic at the same time with few keywords different, one is approved other one is in review limbo for a 10 days now....
And as it time goes on I really think that keywording is involved in selecting what goes where in a review process and according to that - review time is different.

That or AI screening deciding which review branch (fast or slow) to send an image too based on content,keywords or even assessed quality.

AI screening is most likely answer. I don't believe keywords play the role, but content/assessed quality probably do.
I had this week couple of RF images accepted almost overnight. Here's an example:

https://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/alberta-parks-wood-rest-bench-mount-lady-macdonald-hiking-trail-observation-viewpoint-snow-covered-rocky-mountain-peak-landscape-canadian-rockies-banff-national-park/1052636377?prev_url=detail

Recent shot, Quality is good (Full frame body, L Lens, Focus stack, both foreground and background very sharp), not so sure about content though.

Somewhat randomly i had a series of Wildlife (birds) stuff accepted in 24 hours. Others from the same batch were rejected for being AI. (They arent). I cant see any logic, reason or system to the AS reviews currently.

There is no logic. It's all pointing to buggy AI software algorithms, that's all there is to it.

“A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it.” In this case, a Microstock artist is someone who sees patterns in reviews, sales, and the unknown (including Adobe Position) that are unknown and not shared.

So you folks just keep deciding that there's some conspiracy or the algorithm turned against you, or someone else is getting special treatment, and you can find your imaginary inventive causes, which are mostly, a blind person in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there.

Or better yet, people who see sales trends or changes, that are actually random, should read about BF Skinner's Pigeons. Superstition which is the basis for religion which is, believing in something on faith alone, without scientific proof or evidence.

I don't dispute logic in what you very colourfully hinted at. But it is equally logical that Adobe is pre-processing submissions using AI algorithms. Would you agree? I will bet my Elephant Photo against your best one ;=)

Who mentioned conspiracy or special treatment ? Imaginary inventive causes

Is that something that is just in your head ? Maybe you should put that thought on a mug a try to sell it ? Or even better on a beach towel ?

I agree, they are somehow evaluating images, before review. It could be keywords, or size, or type, or who knows. My view is, for all we can do and guess, it doesn't make a difference. And the humor part is, some people will search and find an answer, even if there is no answer, because they believe they can find an answer.

Looking back at rejections for soft or lacking focus (which we don't get anymore) that was often sand, leaves, water, rain, that kind of thing, which means, IMHO, AI of some sort doing intake inspection. SS admitted that they did that, way back. I don't mean just for size, mode or the basics. There is now a machine learning review, to eliminate the need for a human, for easy fails.

Back to the question, review time? Seasonal and maybe topical, trending or current events, that would make sense. If someone says, editorial is faster, maybe? Or maybe it goes to a different review track, with less uploads.

Whatever the bottleneck that's causing the backup, we are seeing mixed results. What's not to say, that it's random and sent out to some offshore contractor, who isn't managing their efforts properly, and not intentional?

Yes, I always love BF Skinner and the superstitious pigeons. Not only that, he trained them to play tic-tac-toe, ping pong and ran other experiments on conditioning. But the bottom line is, random rewards, and the birds would develop behaviors and "superstitious" actions.

Microstock creators do the same thing. They create beliefs and conclusions based on the unknown and somewhat random sales. Then based on that, make predictions which are sometimes accurate and true, but are also random and unpredictable. The result is, people believing that the random sales and results, have a cause and a meaning, which they try to identify.

Being that those answers are a blind person (we don't know what's going on, or how) in a dark room (they aren't telling us how or why) looking for a black cat that doesn't exist (there is no answer)... then some artists, religion or superstition, leads them to believe they have an answer, to a question, with no answer.

The humor in that is, how they will them spread their discoveries and answers on the forums, and the "knowledge" is transferred to new people, who add it to their own personal beliefs.

Microstock Mythology: you must have 50 keywords for better sales. How would anyone test that or prove that it's true, except, "I see it for my images, so it's true!" Zone blackouts or areas where our images are blocked or hidden. "I see it, so it's true." Why would any agency logically, block content?

OK back to the point. Yes, they could be (very likely) doing some kind of image triage, and it's probably done with some sort of computer, machine learning or AI. Which means, someone could fool the system, if they knew what to do and how? If the thing is, people believe AI is getting inspection preference, how about adding "Not-AI" as a keyword to everything? The intake review will see AI and, you head to the front of the sort?

Personally I'll just upload, wait and complain. I don't see any way to beat the system, so I'm not going to waste time trying.

That's a great point. In some cases it actually hurts you, i.e on Alamy when you force yourself to invent keywords (just to satisfy faulty "discoverability" criteria) which then leads to false search positives and lowers your Alamy rank which is super important.

I am like you, I will upload and play the game. But whole purpose of Forums like this is exchange of information, so if nothing else it is interesting to see other people experiences and thoughts. It's a shame though it sometimes morphs into unnecessary attacks; humour is way better.

Yes, even bad humor is better than no humor at all.

There are some people who spend more time, trying to fool or game the system, that they ignore the obvious. "What page are you?" "What's your rank?" "How many views?" (when many times the views are nothing but web spiders) and how to get reviewed faster?

In general, many times, things that are out of our control, unknown and beyond anything we could do to alter them.

My answer is, know what's trending, make the best images available, find under represented subjects, be early for seasonal demands, and you will find success. It's not the tricks, it's just the basics. Make what buyers want and need. Supply and demand.

I admit I do some funny and needless shots or oddball creations, that ~~almost~~ no one wants or needs, but, I'm having fun when I do, and I don't have high expectations that something obscure or abstract or eccentric is going to be popular, and sometimes, they have no potential. But I still make them!

That's humor in one way. While people who shoot snapshots and Crapstock and expect they will make money, is another kind of humor.

All super sound advises. To me having fun and enjoying photography is also important. If your primary motivationis to sell it on Microstock, you will only get frustrated.

Interesting story: About year ago I visited Moqui cave in Utah (~10miles north of Kanab). Area is known for dinosaur artifacts. They had dino skeleton outside the cave in the sand. I didn't have camera. So I came back tomorrow with sole purpose of taking a photo. Some kids in the meantime were messing around & left all kinds of prints in the sand. I still took a photo, then spent at least half a hour in Photoshop cleaning it up. (If you look carefully on left side there's some clone stamp, but not really obvious in sense that it ruins a photo). I enjoyed both process and end result, rotate it as desktop wallpaper and will use for one of calendar pages (I make my own calendars).

I uploaded to Microstock. For some reason it really took off on Shutterstock. Several DL / day, still going on. It's another elephant ;=) But I'll bet you if I went back thinking "This will sell on SS or Adobe" I would get zilch.

Answer to that question is easy.
You just have to copy what those who think that knows everything and what those who are convinced that they are above the rest do and create website to sell mugs and beach towels with printed photos online.

I see, I need to be a lemming and also create a new version of FAA?

Thanks for explaining, you're right.

I'm planning on making this into a T-Shirt on FAA, or more correctly, from Pixels. Artists and people here should recognize the joke. I showed it to some friends at the local saloon and they asked me, what's the joke? OK we're different than so many people in the rest of the population. (that and who else would spend thousands on equipment, so they could get paid a dime?)

I hate to drag out the guessing and interesting theories, but I'll add that, like others, current events, have sat while others got reviewed faster. One set of four, all news, with a dateline, the first few took weeks, the last one six months. Aurora dealing with CME and the sky that was in the news, took so long that the next Sun spot event had come and gone, and they were still not reviewed.

While it's logical and likely that they have vetting for images, based on titles, or words and type, we have NO EVIDENCE that any of that actually happens, except personal observations. And since our experiences and observations are so diverse and varied, it's all just guessing.

Another best guess and more likely is different review teams and tracks, for different kinds of content, because reviewers would need to know their specific kind of content and couldn't be expected to know all the details about everything.

Another guess (based on observation ;=)

Review stream might not be contributor specific (i.e. 1 stream per contributor), instead just 1 giant queue. Last week I submitted 7 images of Rock formations near Kanab, Utah (Toadstools, Nautilus, etc). Same technical quality, same subject, just different angle/location. 4 got reviewed overnight (!), other 3 after 5 days.

Queue insertion order is governed by AI pre-processing, based on variety of factors. This very nicely explains why some images sit for many months - low "value" initially assigned, and constantly get pushed back by new content that is determined more worthy.

As someone who also knows nothing about anything I am deeply offended that you are insulting our kind. It is not our fault we’re morons!

Uploaded 5 normal videos, two of them got accepted within 10 minutes.

That is quite promising, maybe I will do more normal videos. I have a huge backlog of files.

My current curiosity is why the groups of photos of one particular raptor in both my account and my husband's are sitting waiting after all the others were reviewed. My only thought is caption and keywords .... The raptor in question is a Harris Hawk. (Not applying conspiracy, I just find it curious)
