Yes not good to have these embarrassing comments if you try to achieve something in this network. The funny thing is that i've been selected winner with the photo that is not mine according this bot 😃 .
Yes ShutterStock and Adobestock but I'm thinking to delete my photos from there . I shot for fun not for living :). So I decided to give them. Hope ppl appreciate , than the bots @Photocontests
Yeah thats the worst thing about it. And even after they verify you they don't remove the post so it always looks that little bit dodgy. I spoke to Julian the other day and he said i've now been whitelisted so hopefully it won't happen again.
If ever you decide to get back in to selling stock i'd recommend being exclusive with iStock, that's who i shoot for and they've treated me well.
