Not sure what brought this on Trippy but I did think if my earnings are eaten up by AI, I'd just set up a website, put my stuff on there and hopefully get money from ad rev giving it away.

That is what I did. It's slow going, but working and better than feeding the beasts.

Good luck with it I wish you well.

I'm on with a photography course.  It's a decent indepth course learned a lot already.  The last module is photography as a business, should be interesting.

Hello,

couldn't find how to start a new topic, but it is a related issue.

Earlier today, I discovered by complete chance that my entire image portfolio is currently listed for free on YayImages.

I have never agreed to offer my work for free. I have never opted into any such programme. Yet, there it was � all my work, fully downloadable.

I immediately contacted YayImages demanding they either move my content to the proper premium tier or delete it altogether, haven't heard from them yet.

If you are also a contributor on YayImages, you can search for your username there and check whether your work has been made freely available without your knowledge.

If anyone has experienced the same or has insight into how this could happen, please share your experience when dealing with them.

Thanks!
