Linking your shitty community in the description while considering a watermark in a comic strip to be advertising is peak irony.
WITH attribution left intact

there’s a level of irony to omitting the artist’s wordmark on an “i made this” meme comic lol
The worst part is that the unattributed versions are out there now to be shared. He’s creating hundreds of images that will continue to spread, ensuring that the artists never get credit for their work. It’s a real piece of shit move. This guy needs to be banned.

Xkcd and other artists who don’t use water marks:

Do you steal artists’ work on your main account too, or is this just a gimmick account?
WITH
attributionads left intactAs a certified ad-hater, I would want artist contributions on the comics.
So I guess copyleft licenses like CC BY enforce mandatory ads, by your logic?
My bet is they’re doing it for the attention they’re getting by doing it
Yup this. Attention seeking. Seen it way too often on Lemmy.
Slight nitpick, but CC BY is not a copyleft license, because it doesn’t require derivative works to be licensed the same way. CC BY-SA and CC BY-NC-SA are copyleft licenses.
CC BY does not tell you to watermark all your works based on it.
You could simply provide attribution via text/hyperlinks.
Kill yourself
No

If you’re going to sneakily change what the creator drew or wrote, why stop at the creator’s name? Why not fix up a dull punch line or tidy up a drawings weaknesses?
How would we know you aren’t doing that already?

Too lazy to do that.
But not lazy enough to leave watermarks. Fascinating.
This all seems like more effort than just re uploading
It’s just engagement bait and it works every time
Did you make your own community just so you can cater to yourself with mandatory attribution removal? lol.
this feels a lot like when a product proudly declares “made in europe” or “made in america” while only the last processing step is done there, 99% of processing steps before that are done in china.
Me when people visit. It was improved three times since Covid by an experienced carpenter and his creative wife. then they sold it to us.
First time in a limo?
In one this small…
