Cropping Comics - Lemmy.World

Kinda curious about this; what’s the deal with folks cutting off the artist’s name and site? I read the “ads” argument in the comments, but I don’t buy it as attribution isn’t an advert. So what’s it actually all about?

There’s one singular vocal guy around that doesn’t like that authors sign their work and thinks that’s blatant and dishonest self-promotion.

That’s all.

Even better, they think a signature is self promotion but that users should instead provide links to the creator’s page because that isn’t self promotion while not including a link themselves after cropping off the signatures.

The user’s logic makes no sense and they don’t even follow it!

Yeah that’s someone secretly hoping others will think they created the work
Fortunately, that user’s since been yote. I think that’s the past tense of “yeet”? :)

[META] Fuck ads: I recommend adding a rule to ban watermarked comics here - SLRPNK

Relevant Post [https://lemmy.world/post/44948340]. We(Lemmy users) are adblock users and are tired of capitalism that ruined Reddit. All of us didn’t come here to look at ads again or to entertain capitalist dreams of embedding ads everywhere. My recommendation is clear, let’s ban watermarked comics and work towards ad free community. At the end, music don’t have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks? Linking to the source should be the primary way of attribution.

Dear gods… Is that user deluded?
Beep? Massive pos. Regularly shits up yepowertrippingbastards complaining about mods modding them for being a shithead

Found this part really funny

At the end, music don’t have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks?

Because is something that a lot of musicians do today, having a spundbite that they use in all their songs. There’s this one CRRDR that uses the roadrunner bip-bip sound, and in Baile Funk every producer had his own that are integral part of the songs and sometimes DJs mix the soundbite in interesting ways
