Five challenges of using third-party images and videos in your marketplace
DAM Cowboy · W37 · September 2026

Cloudinary outlines the operational pain: manual QA, format mismatches, broken links, compliance gaps, and no metadata standardization. The proposed fix involves automated ingestion rules, transformation pipelines, and validation layers. Most marketplace operators discover these problems after launch, when scaling breaks the manual review process.
