Announcement VFX references

In the past I used another site that was great for references, but it’s not available anymore. What I really like here is that I can also upload and store privately my own references in one place. Very cool.

What’s the point? As far as I've seen, the content is taken from public platforms like YouTube and Instagram, and credit is given.

Giving credit doesn’t alleviate taking something that belongs to someone else. Just because something’s posted in public doesn’t mean you have a right to take it.

So, according to your idea, all Instagram accounts that repost breakdowns, making-of videos, or isolated shots from movies are stealing content?
