How does this service distinguish itself from any of the other image placeholder services out there?
This looks neat and might come in handy. I'm concerned about the legitimation, though.

This one looks nice in that you wouldn't be embarrassed if it goes live since the images are generally nice looking but part of the appear of YAPHS (Yet Another Placeholder Service) is that it is really obviously a placeholder so you catch it before it goes live.

Are the photos scraped automatically from Unsplash or are they manually curated in some way?
