How often do you submit pictures to gibf and wiki commons?

I don’t submit them at all. Should I?

it’s worth noting that iNaturalist observations are automatically shared with GBIF once they reach research grade, if they are licensed CC BY-NC, CC BY, CC0.

Also, to be clear, photos from iNaturalist are not submitted to GBIF, only obsevation data are. I believe GBIF keeps a record of photo URLs on iNat for each observation and they load/cache those photos from iNat when you go to the GBIF record, eg https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4597013457

Also, there is no automatic sending of pics to Wiki Commons. Wiki editors can use pics from iNat subject to the general rules for Wiki Commons.
