Good Morning all! Image by pixabay stock
Wait. A stock photo?
From pixabay is this allowed
How does pixabay make money?
I think patron or donations
I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.
I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn't appear to be.
Thank you for your research!
Still leave the question hanging haha
they have istock sponsored photos interspliced with theirs so monetary compensation for this site comes from sponsorship and affiliates.
Ahh okay
