Yes, it was done here, on a post which highlighted that particular users favourite posts as it turns out. That does not make it ok, nor is it ok to do on other platforms, not without permission. There are plenty of stock photo sites where one can find images.
If a person can come to my blog to steal an image they can send a message to ask. To not do so is underhanded and plain and simple image theft. I hate social media, so promoting my posts there without my knowledge doesn't make me happy. I do not see it as a good thing however in this case it was done here. I don't tolerate it. I understand that there may be some who disagree, and that's ok, they can. It won't change my mind.\
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate you getting involved.
The thing is, maybe they have been seeing others doing such posts and feel it is ok ( Like those best of the week posts). But glad you made how you felt, heard and understood. There is no going against your will for your content. Take it easy dude.
Oh snap, just remembered engage is here. First I have received it on Hive. Thanks!!
Well, that user certainly learned how I felt, and clearly someone else felt the same way as it wasn't me who reported them to hivewatchers. I keep an eye on that account now, and will report them if I need to. That's the thing about doing the wrong thing, there's no telling who is watching. Best just to do the right thing in the first place I think.
