When I post a review of a book or movie, I typically do not include the real cover unless it happens to be cc0 (as was the case with "Rebecca" -- the movie). However, I notice I am in a minority here. Most people posting reviews post the actual book or movie cover and/or stills from the movie.

I would recommend posting the cover and linking below it a source of the image. This is an acceptable practice. Although I doubt anyone is going to confuse the author of the image when you use a cover image of a major movie, it is best to source it.

Here is how I do it.

 
<sub> 
[Source](link to source) 
</sub> 
 

That will give you something like this.

Sub will just make it a little smaller than the rest of the text, which looks good for source links.

I would highly recommend you put the cover image and any other good related images in your post, just source them.

If I was doing a movie review, I would typically put this at the bottom of the post, something like this.

All images in this post are from the movie Black Panther owned by Marvel Studios.

Don't be afraid to use images in your posts, just properly source any that are not yours. CC0 images do not need attribution for personal or commercial use, but can be confusing for onlookers. I frequently use CC0 images as my post header image without attribution.

As someone who has done antiabuse here for years, I have come up with a rule of thumb for third party content, but this is only my opinion.

Third party content should add to your post, but when it is your post there is a problem.

Meaning, it's ok to add images that compliment your original content, but posting an image from the Black Panther movie and that's it, that's a problem. Most of the post should be your own content if you expect to earn rewards for it.

Out of curiosity, have you decided what to mine when Ether is no longer mineable?

Nope it is pointless, I'll mine it while it is possible, when it isn't, I will just look for the next profitable coin. No sense spinning wheels until it's actually an issue as things may change by then.

Totally unrelated - if you were just starting out in computing today and you wanted to get one skill or credential that would be most profitable, what would it be and why?

Start your own company. This question is difficult to answer as I am not really sure what field you want to be in, computer repair, AI, programming, database design, the possibilities are endless.
