Most images on Steemit have been randomly copied from the internet, using Google image search.
https://images.google.com
If you would like to find other sources I highly recommend doing a reverse Google image search - just don’t be surprised if you find say 25 billion of them
As to where any of them really originated from, I think the internet has been interbreeding for decades, and the idea that we can work out the original source for most images is an idealistic myth.
There are two sides to this position, but even as a person producing original art and photography myself, my opinion is that gate has long been open, and the horse has bolted. So that is why I’m buggered if I’m going to go through the pretense of crediting the supposed original sources of all the images I use on my Steemit posts.
Yes, I've been a huge advocate of at least linking to the image source as well to protect the rights of artists at minimum, but I'm also to the point of just conceding that you are probably right - the internet has interbred, finding the original source might not happen, and damn it's bothersome to link!
As far as I'm concerned, if they let me copy it to my computer's memory, it's public domain :)
If I use other people's pictures, I just hotlink from the host, you can see well enough where it came from. Otherwise, if it comes from postimg.org, it probably was made by me with my own camera or with the gimp.
Please provide exact sources under photos. Thanks

Truth is, that won't be happening sorry
Thanks for the direct link to the new article @logic. I support this, and am glad steemcleaners is keeping the community safer from copyright lawsuits by asking this. Just so long as it's stated in writing by an authorative source - which steemcleaners is - that is. Whether ppl like it or not, self-policing like this will separate from Steemit from "the dark web".
Thank you guys! :-)
