Indeed, attribution of the photographer is not always required under the Pixabay license but is appreciated.

The only problem is how was I supposed to know it was a "free image" unless you posted the source in the first place?

I have nothing to do with @hivewatchers but FYI I'm leaving my flag up for consideration of my time spent investigating this matter.

so your time is worth a downvote on my side. That's fair.

Let me ask you - why should you care?

Everyone should care about how the hive uses our communal reward pool because we are all owners of this decentralized place & should do what we can to make sure it isn't abused.

Sorry I've confused you with my vague question - why should you care if I mention the source of the free images I use or not?

I'm wasting my time trying to explain you the presumption of innocence anyway.

So I don't mistake it for fraud.
