Ugh - Just Made Aware of This (Rant!), Plus Challenges
Published: Sun, 04/30/17
Today I've been emotionally drained from an outing where I got signed up for me and my kids at a local gym (where my oldest works as a personal trainer). It was SO nice - but I found myself embarrassed to be there - I felt BAD for everyone having to see me there. Strange. I looked at the carpet the entire time. I hope I get my self esteem back because it SUCKS not having it as I once did years ago.
#1 - So maybe because I'm already emotional, but now I'm angry, too.
This past week I mentioned to y'all in passing that there was a stock photo sale for over 5k images. I told y'all about how many of the images (cheetah, spaceship) wouldn't be relevant to y'all, but many could be used for niche purposes - like the weight, wah, relationship ones, etc.
When I was contacted about this sale by Firelaunchers, I told him many of the images weren't relevant, but that I would explain this to my list. Thankfully, only 4 of you bought it.
But I'm sorry to those 4. Because one of my friends HAPPENED to be a big user of a FREE photo site and she said many of those images were there - at Pixabay.
Well... the sales copy says specifically, "A Private (NEVER BEFORE RELEASED) Collection of Over 5000+ Premium 100% Copyright Free."
I am so livid. What does "Private" and "Never before released" mean to you?
I know what it means to ME and it sure doesn't mean "available for awhile on a free image site!"
So for those of you who did buy, I'm sorry. I have blocked this seller completely so I never forget what s/he did and you won't see me promoting it anymore.
Sad thing is, this has been on the bestseller list for a couple of days now. What a shame. Making people PAY for free images that are already out there!
Ugh.
I am picky about reviewing products before I promote them (as I did this one - but I looked at the images, and didn't trace it back to the original release). I EXPECT sellers to be upfront about what it is they're selling and once you burn me, that's it.
