What? You don't like browsing the web, where everyone is shoving politics down your throat, and making violent hostile threats, and everybodys offended over baby names, and the web is like 3 websites big???

You don't LOVE that?

Try finding a nice desktop background picture of something specific. It's all just links to subscription based stock image sites.

If anyone knows places to search for freely shared images that would be amazing. Just wanted a whale shark photo in 2K..

It's unfortunate, but AI image generators will make exactly what you want, royalty free.

Just today was looking for a seamless tile of grass for desktop background (decided to just use solid color, because eyes get tired looking at separate grass blades, though), spent like 15 minutes. On that.

Google image search has a rights filter.

Onboarding the general population was such a historic mistake
