UnsplashReviews of unsplash.com

Had some great success with Unsplash, but most of the images are become worse by the day.

Initially Unsplash seemed to be a great way for me to show a selection of my photos. People could download photos for free and use the photos in exchange of mentioning the name of the photographer. After a quite disappointing experience with an organization wanting to use one of my photos for an event and Unsplash introducing Unsplash+, a paid version of Unsplash (while photographers do not get paid), I decided to close my account.

Although Unsplash is a great platform and offers such quality and free images, I am giving it 3 stars because of the lack of diversity in its image bank. My work is to create websites specifically for POC clients and it can be quite frustrating trying to look for images with non-white models.

I like the service and have been using it for a few months now, but I was shocked when I searched using the words, 'damaged American flag,' and "dirty American flag," and dozens of photos of Black people showed. WTH is the meaning of this? It feels wrong.
