This is hands down the most brain dead take I’ve seen today. Congratulations, you’re wrong more than anyone else! 🎉

How is the post about not cropping the artists signature relevant here?

If I enjoy a creator, I want to see more of their work.

With people like you, I would have no idea who Neil Kohney even is.

Fuck you in particular.

… Isn’t supporting and highlighting smaller creators rather than huge megacorps kinda a core part of the anti-capitalist movement?

Do you think seeing the author’s name on the front of a book is also an ad?

😂

While we could enforce the rule of link being the attribution, as a general rule it’s not what will happen when someone shares anything on the Internet. It will be ripped out of context and posted on random places with zero attribution.

Exhibit A: yourself. Your post history does only occasionally contain links.

yeah I remember when they gave me a contract i put my watermark on with an ad of my brand (sometimes called full name).

idiot.

Upvoting to promote conversation, but wholeheartedly disagree. Artists have a right to sign their work, and separating an artist’s signature from their art is douchy behavior.

At the end, music don’t have watermarks

You don’t listen to hip hop. They have producer tags, and I think some electronic musicians might do it too.

Did the copyright holder (i.e. the artist) give you permission to redistribute their work without attribution? If not, it’s a copyright validation and illegal in most countries.

I’m not really against pirating (you would copy a car), if you are taking from the rich. But that’s not the case here.

And holding back information about the source of the comic is just evil to the readers here.

Are you puppeting your bot account right now so that you can evade a ban?

Genuinely asking because this is just like. The worst take ever, but the time frame between the number of posts you post per day and the fact that there was a post recently about bots not being allowed all make me suspect everything you’ve said.

no one should change artwork unecessearily without the artists permissions. I rather have more content than not. I actually don’t block ads all the time and don’t mind well regulated capitalism. Lots of use of all and we like its a 100% thing.

Easily one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen.

You are against capitalism, and your approach is to remove author attribution, thus fucking small creators. That’s called punching down, and for being so against capitalism, you operate like a good dog.
