It’s not just boilerplate. We actively verify uploads using multiple signals: EXIF metadata, timestamps, device signatures, and visual similarity checks. If a file wasn't captured by the uploader’s device or shows signs of being scraped/copied, it gets flagged or rejected.

In short, if it's not your original content, it won’t pass. And we’re constantly tightening this loop as we scale.





I think I’m less worried about whether or not it’s my original content and more about whether or not what I shot is ok to sell

That being said I did not consider that side of things, and I think it’s great you’re so proactive about it. Hopefully that does not come off as condescending/patronizing!
