Not citing the source of photos (images) is plagiarism. Here is a post on why this is bad, and here is how easy it is to find allowed photos.

Not indicating that the content you copy/paste is not your original work could be seen as plagiarism.

I think it is pretty clear what this is about, but to exclude all interspersed misunderstandings I have added the following text to the signature:

@cczero is not the creator of the cc0 content published here, @cczero focuses on the distribution and marketing of cc0 products. Only in exceptional cases @cczero is also the creator of cc0 products, these are published both here and on other portals under cc0 license without naming.

I hope this helps avoid misunderstandings. peace @cczero

Part of the problem is that you're using the #photography tag for images from the internet when the tag is meant for use for users' own photos. Also, as content is monetized on Steem, it should still be linked to wherever it came from originally.

Is your account a bot or are you a person posting various images?

Thanks for clarifying. These days its hard to tell the difference between a bot account and a person.
