I was browsing Reddit and saw a post where someone shared some artwork. The post had thousands of views and lots of people were asking, "Where did you get this?"

I thought I’d give it a try. I found some artwork on other websites to start with, but then I wondered: if I post a link to my website on Reddit and Reddit users come to my site just to click an affiliate button that takes them to another website, would that be considered misleading? Could Reddit users flag my post or report my account for this?

Ultimately, my goal is to sell artwork through my website, but I'm aware of copyright concerns, especially since much of the artwork is branded.

One option I'm considering is reaching out to sellers on platforms like Etsy to see if they'd be interested in fulfilling extra orders through my website. This way, I could offer a variety of artwork while ensuring that copyright issues are addressed.
