Why are premium content creators targeted?
Anything that is hidden behind a paywall or requires additional security measures is a primary target for theft. Because this type of content is difficult to access, it can later be easily shared once stolen.
People are often more interested in content that is not easily available, and many are unwilling to pay for it, and seek unauthorized access rather than paying for it.
Honestly, every content creator who publishes work online is at risk. However, there are effective solutions that can help prevent image misuse and protect digital content.
