I was kind of surprised with this one but not in a good way a lot of the elements don't even work and the registered publisher of this listing has named themselves Dumbledore Albus I wonder where that's from considering the publisher isn't even taking this listing seriously it says a lot about the platform. Another thing to note all of the photos of the male catalog were from Instagram posts of other people like it's all stolen imagery and considering that there isn't a community behind this platform it's concerning. I would not recommend.
