Was good to hear I wasn't the only one experiencing this INFURIATING problem. I tried the steps suggested, but ultimately found a different solution to the issue.
After much experimenting and trying a vast range of things I found THE PROBLEM WAS ASSOCIATED WITH SELECTED IMAGES IN MY PHOTOS ICLOUD LIBRARY.
I had been sent a few photos in a text from a friend and for some reason it connected to his apple id. Another friend put a cool pic on Facebook and I saved it into my icloud, and again, it was somehow connected to the apple id of the woman who took the photo and sent it to him to post. I also copied some photos off another persons phone, and for some reason it was linked to the apple ID of the person who had sent her the image originally. I had to go through my photos and weed out all of the possible problem pics. I am glad to say the problem has now stopped. So if none of the suggested solutions in the article work, try going through your photos to weed out possibly infected ones. Those most likely are photos shared with you from someone else, or photos copied off the internet/social media.
