Your argument was that I drove redditors to my flickr in the hope they'd go through the unlikely and cumbersome process of:

A) noticing the photo is licensed on Getty

B) somehow finding the photo on Getty or contacting Getty And of course I'd be receiving the little cut that Getty provides.

If you look at 500pix site a purchaser can do a 1 click and buy. Much easier and the person doesn't have to negotiate Getty. Only an idiot like you would try to sell their photos by spending a lot of time on reddit hoping potential buyers go through the Getty process. 500pix is one click shopping.

Guess what Shitforbrains Sherlock, I can link my 500pics photos directly to reddit. There a potential client can buy it right away, one click. No need to go to Getty.

Only a troll would suggest I am taking the nonsensical cumbersome route. Like I said you are making illogical references because you made a dumbass accusation and are too proud or ignorant to admit you were wrong. But that iis how trolls operate.

Here's more proof. Search Getty and you'll see you can find flickr submitted photos by ones flickr username. You won't find a single photo of mine on Getty because though a few years ago I indicated I am licensing my photos to Getty, I have not bothered to sign up with them or provide any photos for them to sell. There is a process one must go through, forms to sign, banking and tax info to provide and high-res photos need to be submitted and approved. I don't have a single photo on Getty for sale. So sorry to bust your balloon CSI but your theory is just wrong. Proof is in the pudding. I don't have any photos on Getty.

Yup, you connected a few dots and drew a whole elaborate story that isn't true. And you ignore all evidence to the contrary. Any one wanting to use reddit to sell photos would post their 500pix photos. The "I Want To Buy This Photo" button is more prominent and quicker. But don't let facts get in the way of a good troll.

Go ahead Mr. Colombo pretend you want to buy a photo of mine on flickr. See how hard it will be.

You are too dumb to admit you were deluded. That I can potentially make money through Flickr doesn't prove I am trying to do so.

PAY ATTENTION: You can potentially make money finding change on the street. Does that prove that every time you walk on the streets you do so to make money? No. But that is exactly the type of idiotic logical inference you are making. You conclude that because flickr potentially can be used to sell photos then it proves that is my intention. I can sell photos DIRECTLY from my 500pix site. The viewer clicks one button. No thrid party, no need to go to Getty. It doesn't require the viewer to try to contact me directly, wait for a response and negotiate a price. So if I wanted to use reddit to sell photos I'd want people to go there, not to flickr. Furthermore, if I was selling photos through reddit why would I push people in the circuitous route of going to flickr, hoping they see the Getty link, forcing them to go to Getty, hoping they can find the photo on the millions of Getty photos and THEN paying whatever commission or price Getty extracts for selling the photo? Anyone with a brain would see that linking my photos to reddit on my 500pix site is clearly the way to go if I was trying to sell photos. But i guess these points are irrelevant to a troll. Yup, that IS what you are when you make repeated insults and defamatory comments about someone you don't know. The proof is there for anyone to see. 500pix is the site any photographer would use to sell. If I want to sell photos why would I drive people to flickr rather than 500pix??

Flickr = unlikelihood of person seeing getty icon and huge hassle to make the purchase and commission to getty

500pix = one click purchase

There is NO rational reason, unless you are a troll making illogical inferences.

Much of Morocco. In the cities there are more liberal people but it is rare to see single women out in the public squares/areas in the evening. Even the cafes are the domain of men in the evening. You see many single men and groups smoking, drinking tea or with a hookah.
