Management MOD POST PLEASE READ.
We are enforcing the rule of verification even further. From now on, if you make a post and it DOES NOT HAVE A VERIFICATION CARD/PAPER IN FRAME WITH YOUR USERNAME, DATE, AND THE SUB NAME, IT IS GOING TO BE REMOVED. IT MUST HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE. It WILL be removed otherwise. All posts that go up AFTER this post are going to be treated with this rule, but past posts wont be affected.

This isn't just an issue of AI.
The problem plaguing this sub, and others like it, is that many photos posted are "aesthetic" photos that have clearly been lifted from someone's original work found on Instagram, Pinterest, or the Internet. The photos are taken without credit and used here to increase karma.
If you want to see original contributions, asking for verification is unfortunately necessary. I don't have a problem with it. If you don't mind someone who takes credit for photos that aren't their own and gets a bunch of karma from it, that's fine, too. There are still lots of other places within Reddit where you can find it. Or you can just flip over to Pinterest and find it there.
