Just a bad experience

Just a bad experience they steel pictures from photographers at least from me and I m not the only one they hurt

Pixabay is Bad NEWS

I see that most People reviewing Pixabay are the artists themselves Apparently they are trying to get people to come and donate to them Also it has become porn OK this is my story I am a Graphic Artist I was one of the top illustrators on Pixabay Canva purchased a website where I have approximately 11 000 images where people can download and pay me donations I receive around 50-300 a day I have been a member since 2017 Usage of my images as of Jan 2019 is to add more graphics and text for use Canva purchased Pixabay in 2019 but when they became very popular in the US around 2021 they started using our images to give to their website users without asking the artist s permission They never notified the users in any way I found my 11 000 of my images this year of 2022 on Canva I tried to contact Canva via email and they told Pixabay that I was harassing them I told Pixabay that I would pursue any action I could take legally and they warned me they would inactivate my account As of May 25 2002 they deactivate my account without contacting me or taking all my images down Perhaps what they are doing is legal but morally they are wrong They are charging people to use my images without my consent and they are making money off my artwork which many I painstakingly drew This is a terrible way to treat a small business So BOYCOTT PIXABAY AND CANVA
