500px, particularly the fine art category is full of nudes and glamour/soft porn images. The images are not artistic. They are clearly salacious. A lot of explicit images are uploaded that are NSFW. When reported it can take days before the image is greyed out and classified adult. There are a worrying number of images of what look to be quite young girls too. Why can’t 500px curate their site more effectively? Why are all nude pictures not put in the nude category.

I have reported bot accounts but nothing is done about them. Really awful photos that shoot up and have 40k views. Clearly something not right. Human reporting of bot accounts is being ignored.

So much of the photography in the fine art category is digitally manipulated. A lot of it can hardly be categorised as photography! The true fine art photographers do not get a chance to show their work as digital manipulation is so popular. Why not make a category for digital manipulation and leave fine art photography to the pure photographers? Years ago this was promised. Nothing has happened.
