i wanted use stock bgs for the low effort style of watermarked stock image content but i dont really know if thats allowed
It's allowed, however you should at least give credit to the person who made the image or link to where you found the image, and make sure you're not using any stock images that are AI generated. If in case you're uncomfortable with using random stock bgs, you can make your own fake stock bgs with public domain images like I did with This Visual Novel Isn't Like Other Visual Novels lol
