Well.. Using stock photos in a story is better than using stock photos as your own photography. In the world of publishing, stock photos are legit. I understand your frustration, but the reason I created this post is more geared towards abuse. I really don't want to get into the ethics of making money on steemit, because there's a fine line on that. What I'm able to do is at least make sure that blatant theft of copyrighted work is downvoted. I hope that makes sense.

No doubt about that. I was just remarking on the absurdity of posting free stock photos and that being the factor that's attracting whales and bots - and paying out thousands of dollars for it.

If it's legit, then there's nothing to be done. Still a bit silly, if you ask me.
