Y'know those accounts that post a lot of photos? The ones that "curate" others' works and post them? Almost ALL of them have not asked for permission to reproduce those photos and, in many, many cases, are infringing on the photographers' copyrights. Please don't re-toot those accounts.
And, fwiw, giving credit to the photographer is not a free pass. In fact, it shows that the poster knows the work is protected but reproduced it anyway (legally, that's willful infringement).
