- A. No it will take up to 12 hours we need to moderate them and do our best to make sure your not uploading someone else's work, I'm sure your not but hey this is the Internet! We also use an AI for this but honestly as we don't have Warren Buffett money laying around our AI is dumb as a sack of hammers.
