YouPic

Loads of AI images which photographers are passing off as their own work and fake accounts with images taken off the Internet and the 'photographers' are crediting as their own work.
Loads of pornographic images, some very explicit. Youpic do nothing to delete them even when reported! I've now deleted my account as my timeline is no longer family friendly due to indecent images mixed in with people's genuine photographs.

Youpic has it in its rules that no pornography is allowed.
However, one profile has apparently been taking the right to publish pornography for over a year.
The profile in question has apparently already been reported (according to the rating here by user Charlie H. In June 2022).
Well I reported it two weeks ago.
I was contacted three days ago and told how grateful they were for the report.
However, nothing has changed at all.
Even when I emphatically demanded again three days ago that the rule be enforced, nothing has happened to date.
This makes it obvious that the operators of Youpic are only interested in money and not in the well-being of the community.

I cancelled my paying membership and still 2 months later YouPic took 359.88$ from my account. They promise to refund. Its been 4 months now and still nothing. They dont even respond to my messages on the website or my emails anymore!

Great site for posting your photos whether you are a Pro or like me a Hobbyist.
Had an issue, contacted them, they sorted it out.
Lots of categories to post in, and fellow memebers can leave you comments and/or like your contribution.

They lied to me twice on Instagram, promising me they would feature my work on their website's home page if i became a member. I joined and was never featured despite following up on these promises multiple times. They just ignored my messages and then the accounts that messaged me eventually disappeared. They lie to people for their own gain. Not a website i want to use or be associated with.

Youpic is a good photography website for ideas and pictures. It never got me any business. Signing up for premium service at a discount is good but the following subscription rate is extremely expensive with not notice. Don't fall into the trap.the pro service is not worth 370.00 per year. If you dispute it you will not get your money back. Buyer beware. A free subscription will get you almost the same value.

I've been with YouPic for a number of years now and recently the site has seriously gone downhill! To the point where I have now deleted my account.
YouPic is now rife with AI images which 'photographers' are passing off as their own work. Spammers who are opening free profiles and bombarding everyone with advertising.
And finally graphic images of both men and women, some crossing the boundary and are outright pornographic!
They have 4 sections. Home, inspiration, hot and newest. Hot used to be quality photographs of landscapes etc. Now 95% are of open legged images of females.

I used this platform as a way for sharing my art with other people around the world. Is good for us photographers although there are some non artistic nudes in the last months and this is why I don't give 5 stars. Actually is a nice platform ad the team is doing a nice job

So, I was using this platform for a while. I send a message through Image about forcing me to use premium account. The platform ban my profile, when i log in, my profile is new one. I only had 5 followers so I am not dissapointed. What I am dissapointed is that their business practice. First of all, no information was given why I got banned. No other information was provided. So I send another message: You delete my profile? I no longer wish to use your platform.
Besides that, they are terrible business. Forcing people to go premium instead of using free service.
They are scam that deserve to be cancelled.

I am posting One image that I use on their platform and image that I wrote down for evidence.
DONOT USE THEIR PLATFORM. Do not waste time!

The You Pic website, which I have always enjoyed as a photographer, where I have shared my work and received good feedback. I think all photographers need to be present in this extraordinary international context.And grow

I have just been caught out by the draconian policies of You Pic around subscriptions, so wanted to warn you all to be extremely cautious. Make sure you cancel the annual auto renewal immediately or you too might get caught out. There is no communication that your annual subscription is about to auto renew and no hope of a refund if they do. Hundreds of Euros charged against my account for a service I definitely don't want and no right to a refund. This approach by You Pic falls short in 3 out of the 4 areas described in the attached chart on unfair contracts.

I signed up for YouPic a while back--don't remember why or when. Started getting messages and emails from YouPic, but never paid much attention. I don't really check that email account very often. Lately, I saw all these messages and decided to try to remember what YouPic was. So I clicked on the link in one of these emails. Had to reset my password because it's been so long.
Then I read these messages from "Lisa" about how they have a client that has spotted one of my images and wants to purchase it, if only I would upgrade to the PRO level of YouPic, which is pricey even after the discount offer. The problem is this: I have never uploaded ANY images to YouPic, so it's just not possible that any client has seen any of my images on this platform. And of course, if they had seen my work on ANY OTHER platform, they could contact me directly, and it wouldn't cost me anything.
YouPic doesn't provide any added value, so I quit them.

Very interesting service. Allows you not only to share your creativity, but also to get acquainted with the works of professional photographers. I recommend it!

Itás most likely a one man company without support, outrageous prices, after a lower introductory price it auto-renews with an outrageous amount. There is no real service behind this. They give absolutely no refund. "LISA" will just taunt on you if you try to seek support. Keep away from this fraudster!

As a photographer, I do a lot of artistic nudes. At one point, a representative from YouPic told me my photography was the type they wanted to attract to their site. But when a photo of mine was recently taken down by a manager, my attempts to find out why (so that I could avoid posting content deemed unacceptable) were met with contradictory information and non-answers, and I was ultimately banned from their site, rather than being provided with an answer or an explanation. And this, after a year of using their site.

If they treat users like that, I simply cannot recommend them, and would suggest you avoid them altogether.

I always become so glad to share my photos with others on this great platform because it can give me a great chance to socialize more and also see some more photos of other photographers who are professional in their works.

I enjoy using YouPic to share my photography and to view that of others world-wide. There are some members who seem to post every sot they have - but I ignore those and focus on following the good photographers who post their best work.

The "Inspiration" feeds are great and you can select the field of photography that interests you. The staff who curate and award "inspiration stars" are selective and give you an interesting flow of work from others to enjoy and learn from. Others who view your work can also recommend your image for a "star" and give you feedback or share with their followers. I find it an efficient way to view and enjoy the work I like.

On the negative side, they do push you to sign up for more advanced membership, but I find the middle "Premium" level more than adequate for my needs.

I see YouPic as a great forum for sharing with and learning from other photographers. I do not find it useful for marketing your own work.
