I’m also curious about this. I’m not having a strong reaction yet because I’m just not quite sure what to make of it, though at first glance it certainly has me going “wait what?”

I hope it’s not just some boiler plate legalese about how you have to make sure you have the rights to everything you upload.

It’s not just boilerplate. We actively verify uploads using multiple signals: EXIF metadata, timestamps, device signatures, and visual similarity checks. If a file wasn't captured by the uploader’s device or shows signs of being scraped/copied, it gets flagged or rejected.

In short, if it's not your original content, it won’t pass. And we’re constantly tightening this loop as we scale.

I think I’m less worried about whether or not it’s my original content and more about whether or not what I shot is ok to sell

That being said I did not consider that side of things, and I think it’s great you’re so proactive about it. Hopefully that does not come off as condescending/patronizing!
