TIL you can crop screenshots wrong on purpose and make it look artistic

I was trying to grab a pic of my tree trimming map for a client quote and accidentally cropped out the whole address. Ended up with just a blurry corner of a branch and the timestamp. My buddy said it looked like modern art and I sold it as a concept photo on some random stock site for $15 last month. Has anyone else turned a bad screenshot into something profitable?

Those microstock places pay per download so yours could earn more if it gets popular.

Is the stock site still making money off it if someone buys it again, or was it a one-time payout deal? Kinda makes you wonder if accidental art is more profitable than the boring stuff people actually try to sell.
