Lol yeah, totally overthinking this. If I can't find the source, I just say "I took it from the internet" or I took it from hsi.com or whatever the link says."
"Those platforms, however, don't have a focus on content creation but on content sharing. Steem, on the other hand, seems to be all about originality." <--- You know what's funny...I never noticed this until you pointed it out?
:) I've been overthinking this topic for a while, so I noticed the fact that I didn't have to find sources for the images I share on Facebook or Twitter, and even less on Pinterest, but that on Steemit, people seem to radically promote the use of only free images and the strict sourcing of images.
It's strange, but it's the way it is and I think that it's going to stay like that for a while. It's the convention. I'll still do whatever I want, lol, and may my readers decide if I'm worthy or not of their eyes. I will try to use free images because, you know, curations! If someone wants to add me to a list, I hope that my posts don't break their rules by sharing unattributed pictures.

Also, wow, you're already Rep 60! c: That's nice. Go become a whale! Lol.
