@bagder on the one hand I can understand that running such a platform „for free“ is hard. On the other hand they already charge users for using the platform. By also charging the „content providers“ (and hence scaring them away) they will also loose the users in the long run. Why pay if your favourite images are not available any more?

Not to mention all the other issues (e.g. bad actors claiming previously well known account names etc). This seems like giant footgun.
