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)

I've seen similar, same subject, same keywords, same sizes. Some went through, one sat for six months. I'm still going to be promoting my "it's random" theory

But in my heart I'd like to believe that there's actually some system in the background, that's the way AS wants these to be processed and reviewed.

We could be looking at a Quantum Mechanics theory of Microstock intake? 🤯

Can anyone accept that some things are indeterministic—that they just happen, and there is not a darned thing anyone can do to figure out why?

Same here (see my previous post). I don't believe it's random; it's simply "value assigned token" by AI pre-processing that determines review order. Different angle / keywords / other shooting parameters, etc etc. Maybe initially reviewed photos are labelled 'original', subsequent 'similar'. Acceptance ratio, contributor rank? Who knows what drives their algorithms, that are likely constantly changing and evolving.

Yet another example of AI nonsense that increasingly dominates this world. Or maybe it is quantum mechanics after all :=)

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.

" 5 normal videos "
What are Ai videos then if organic videos are normal ?

I bet in year earnings that keywording is involved in reviewing time.

P.S. I don't have any problem if those who think that they are all-knowing stock gurus whose top ideas is to print photos on mugs think it is conspiracy.

If its any consolation i had similar, waited weeks, some got accepted, others got rejected for "AI".

I often upload converted verticals as well as the original horizontal.

When a horizontal gets stuck, so does the vertical

Since you seem to be stuck on photo mugs, I have this one, just for you.

Enjoy

My latest uploads both got reviewed in under 3 days at Adobe. Here's one of them. Not seasonal, not a large special image and honestly, no commercial potential. I'm not a top eraning contributor and I don't add 100 new files a year. So all I can say is, Adobe likes me better than the people who get slow reviews.

Love the Mug! (honest) - could you send me one for Christmas? ;=)

I am also now having non-editorial reviewed almost overnight. Uploaded on Monday 1 of General Sherman Tree and 1 of General Grant Tree from Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park in California. I expected it to be in queue 3 months or so because it is low percentage content (tons of shots of these big trees around, and mine are totally ordinary) but both already got accepted.

So....you are the one that is trying to print and sell mugs trough poorly designed website and I'm the one stuck on them ?

Well, that is a good joke. Quite cheap and unrealistic but hey, that is nothing new from you.

I don't know about mugs, you seem to have some fixation with them, and some poorly designed website, which I don't what that means. I don't drink coffee, I don't make or sell mugs.

But please, "cheap and unrealistic"? No, I create and upload Crapstock or Plop and Shoot. Oh yes and some obscure, odd and eccentric shots that even my Mother wouldn't love.

Yeah Baby, I just made another 10 cents. And people take this all so seriously?

so, some other people take this so seriously and yet you can't hold yourself from commenting everything in every topic trying to "sell" your opinion without respect others ? Funny.

P.S. If you don't sell mugs there is something wrong with that link to your website , or you simply lie that you don't sell mugs >

Oh Pixels, sure thing, where I check all images for all products. I was wondering what you meant by some poorly designed cheap website that sells mugs. I wasn't sure if it was FAA/Pixels. Yeah, you're right, and I sell blankets, towels, phone cases, (but they don't sell actually, they are listed) and a couple of puzzles. I use FAA for fulfillment of print orders so I don't have to do them myself, or ship or anything. I don't own a color printer.

I post the image, with prices that the buyer agreed to, and send them a link. They go and decide what size and options, they pay, I get money. They get the print in the mail. Nice and easy, and never a refund yet for "not what I expected", because they fill out what they order.

It's not MY website. Here's my cheap and unrealistic, poorly designed website, of my own: http://www.crapstock.com/

Thanks for asking.

Cheep

Sorry I was distracted by cheap unrealistic mugs. Nice link, I didn't know I could do that https://pete-klinger.pixels.com/shop/coffee+mugs

Seems that review times are still random and not systematic. Someone else wrote me that their videos, some are reviewed, some have been weeks, and something new, got reviewed in days, while the old ones are sitting.

I don't have any theory or answer, except it's random, but the fact is, they are varied and unpredictable.

Deletion of uploaded files is treated same as file rejection and effects on your stats and sales.

If that is the case with deleting stuck files, then the effect would be negated when re-uploading them back into the queue?

Of course NOT.
if you upload 1000 images your upload counter will state that you have 1000 uploads.
And if you delete 100 and then upload those 100 again, your counter will state that you have 1100 uploads and 100 deleted / rejected images.
It is a basic math.

Where do I see the stats and sales you are talking about, that shows how deleting a file becomes a rejection? What difference do stats make?

I think you're right. I'm getting my rejections in a few days now, instead of having to wait weeks. Seems that things that I did before that were acceptable, are now full of Quality Issues It's terrible how after all these years, I have regressed and forgotten how to make a decent photo.

Better lenses, better lighting, sometimes a better camera, more MP, and I'm just not good enough for Microstock anymore.

Exactly. I think we all go through spells like this. Probably 1 rejection raises the red flag, and then reviewer -- AI or human - doesn't even look beyond. This is a sad state of Microstock Industry across the board, and probably quite offensive to serious photographers who take pride in their work.

I have over 100 images in pending review for more than 3 months, way over the 8 weeks they advertised, no idea what is going on.

synthetick · « **Reply #297 on:** November 27, 2024, 05:41 »

I've been gradually deleting unsold videos that I uploaded in 2018, then improving and re-rendering them, improving my colour management, updating the keyword order and resubmitting. I have been getting quite a few new sales this way on files that I think would otherwise never have sold on Adobe but had done well elsewhere. I have not noticed any negative impacts of doing this.

Unicorns are real, just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't. If I remember right, Mat explained how rejection stats worked and clearly said, deleting files, to upload them again, had no effect.

Anyone know? Can anyone find the post with the answer?
