I use links to the original sources all times.
But not all links like https://vk.com/photo-29694340_398064628 are avaliable for not logged in users (and steem editor too) so I decided to use links to the original (Image not shown due to low ratings)
Images were hidden due to low ratings.
Links to images on an image hosting site makes people think that you ripped the images from somewhere else and uploaded them yourself....it is not SOURCE
Please post only content with links to an ORIGINAL source like this:
Source
This is exactly why we need a "click to consent" button...
That still is not an Original Source....look at the link Source in my reply above...actually click the link and see where it takes you....not to an Image Hosting Site but to an actual content site where the image is located.
