The best way to deal with all the scraper shit is the hotlink protection of all your
pictures even for SE.
The traffic you got from SE image searches went to zero these days.
(Bouncing ratios on google images are up to 100%)
And all these scraper sites harm your own rankings across the normal SERPS.

Is that true ? They are doing the editorial work ?
I can't see that as the only connection. There has to be more.
Yes, I have had these sites outweigh my own copyrighted material in results with my images. But I'm not necessarily making copyright a issue on this, but it is one.
Others, drawn to my work are led to others sites where they make money from it as click-bait at a minimum.
