This is really good information. I do have a question: the picture you used says "no attribution required", does this mean that we don't have to credit the author of the picture?

Yeah a CC0 license does give you permission to use without attribution, but as @xposed here mentions it is still nice to give attribution if you can even in that case - it is an easy way to support a content creator that is putting free use content out there.
Thanks for the swift response! With your help and the help of @xposed I will take the time to make sure the proper people get credit for their work.
Also, buy crediting the work properly, you make it a lot easier for curators that consider to curate your post. Sourcing and using work that can be used for commercial use can be motivating for a curator to up-vote your post. In this case, it is beneficial in three ways :-)
I will help you if you vote for me. In this way everyone can help by voting for all. Waiting for you
Hi @mrcoolizade, thanks for tuning in. When you see an image that says "No Attribution Required" you need to check if this image has been licensed under the CC0 1.0 Creative Common International License (Even if stated otherwise, you want to be sure and not rely on other peoples findings). If this is the case, you can do whatever you want with it. Even though this is not required, I do highly suggest to properly source it and credit the creator. Curators and people can see where you have found the image easier and are more likely to up-vote your content.
Thank you for that prompt response! I gave credit in my first couple blog posts but saw people were not crediting pictures that had "no attribution required" so I followed along with the crowd. After reading this however, and given that the effort is really minimal, I will start to credit every source that isn't myself. Thanks again!
You're more than welcome. Always investigate yourself if the work you are using is licensed for Commercial Use. For example: Users may have purchased a license directly from the creator.
