Thanks StC. I thought phrases were considered separately from single keywords, never intentionally spam.

No, that's the downside of their system. Like Alamy, words in a phrase get split up and then in search can merge with words from another search.
So if you have abc def and zyx wvu, that will show up in searches for 'abc def', and 'zyx wvu', but also abc, def, zyz, wvu, which may or may not be relevant, and also 'abc zyx', 'def zyx', 'wvu abc' etc., which are often wrong.
The example I use for testing is Blue Whale. On SS, that brings up any whale or whale shark which also has blue in the keywords, e.g. blue sky, blue ocean ... as well as the inevitable spam and mistaken identifications.
And this curiosity (Yeah, I'm still automatically in Portuguese!) captioned "Man jumping in the water and hunting for fish" https://www.shutterstock.com/pt/image-photo/man-jumping-into-water-ocean-hunting-686936851?src=DyrxCnX2InTp5D7VgK5FKw-1-46 No man, no whale!

Its the constant repitition of the words Flag, France and French.

There's no need to do it.  No doubt SS picked it up as keyword spamming.
