Random observation:
It bothers me when designers post inspiration photos without saying where it's from, making it seem like it's their own work.
And when people post saying, "is that your work?" They just don't respond.
In my opinion they should credit the real designer, or at least write that it's an inspiration photo, not their original work. Am I right in thinking that?

That doesn't seem ok at all. How do you know that it isn't their work?

Of course you’re right. Intellectual property and copyright laws are there for a reason.

Because I can tell. I have an eye for these things. When they do post their actual work they always mention a "client," and their actual work is a much different (simpler/more amateur) than the inspiration photo posts.

Seems totally unethical to me, social media or not. Misleading and dishonest.

Along those lines- it really bothers me when these "bloggers" get free clothing or anything else, promote it and don't disclose that the item was given to them.

Yup. It's usually obvious. Sometimes I do a reverse image source, find the creator of the content, and post a link on the post of the person claiming it as their own.
