Horse Eden : Stock sources?

01:01:22 Athena - AA/TB

I remember when I was like 13 on a public chromebook in a library, downloading music for my mp3 player and some of those ads popped up on the sketchy site I was using. My poor innocent brain had never seen anything of the sort before and of course I clicked them. I don't remember what happened after but I *think* the chromebook timed out and shut down around the same time

I didn't see shit, but I've also been running adblock for over a decade now.

Given that a lot of the ads were of adult nature, I really, really have doubts that a large portion of the game were looking at that sort of thing lmao

12:56:10 Athena - AA/TB

i never had ads on any of them so I had no idea what people were talking about lol
Its funny how some people got all of them and some of us got none
Like I'm not denying they're there or anything. I just find it funny

I did have some ads on postimg, but never any weird ones. I also never had any ads at all in ImgBB but that one is now forbidden too 🤷‍♀️

I'm specifically asking Eve and/or the mods.
Is it OK to use stock from pexels.com, since it says free stock photos, as long as I credit the image? And what format would it be best to credit the image? Like this? www.pexels.com/photo/abstract-astrology-astronomy-big-bang-414826/
Or pexels.com?

Here's a link to the rules. To me, it looks like it's ok as long as I credit it...

So when you are on the image page, in the righthand corner it says the username of the person who provided it or "Source: Pixabay" and you can click on the link. Click it and it redirects you to Pixabay's website. Now in the upper righthand corner you see a username, in this case 'spirit111'. You would want to credit that user, so spirit111@pixabay.

If the pexels website has a username, you'd credit that username @pexels.

That specific image, however, does not look like it is stock. When I went to the user's about me (it is in German but I translated to English) it states that it is not his photography but he 'shaped the images' which I'm guessing means most of his work is just created from other images. Due to that, I don't know if I would use that image because I don't feel it is stock.

A lot of the images on pexels and pixabay can be hit and miss as far as whether they are stock or not. It is very tricky so I tend to tell people to avoid using it for that reason. A good tip is to right click on the image you want to use > Search Google for Image. If it comes up all over the web, chances are it is not stock.

Hope that helps! Feel free to contact a Mod directly or respond here with any other questions. If you are confused, PM me. :)

The guy who has the pic I just posted has about 8 or 9 cameras in his 'About Me' thing. I searched Google for 'pics of alpine, calm, clouds' and I only see the pic once, and that's on the pexels website.
