I'll typically submit about 20-30 photos and randomly, one photo from that batch gets reviewed instantly and is instantly rejected. It's always rejected and it's always rejected for "noise" (which I know is a bunch of BS). I'll go upload that photo again, and submit it, and again - instantly rejected. It's like SS has selected a random photo and has tagged it or something for instant review and thus, instant rejection. I try to keep submitting it (it's accepted everywhere else), even by changing the file name of the photo to no avail. Still instantly rejected. The rest of the photos in the batch take a normal time for review and it's nearly a 100% acceptance rate.

I'm pretty sure this is being done by AI. Anyone know how to get out of this loop when a photo gets randomly selected like this?

This happened on dreamstime to me too.

it happened to me too. One instantly rejected and everything else ~20 approved a few days later ...
