https://joinfediverse.wiki/Lemmy/enWe need to normalize shaming people for casually sharing stolen art. This includes people sharing things they "made" with AI.
I think of it this way, if I publish a work of art I make, if you share it in a way I did not want but still link back to me as the artist, it is going to be really hard for me to be upset with you because even if you stole the art from me you have brought my art to more people's attention so the impact cannot be seen as purely bad.
Which doesn't make it right, I am not advocating for stealing art from artists, I am trying to emphasize that if your attentions are good, when in doubt link to the artist. I mean... why not?
edit also keep in mind that most actually decent ways of identifying how relevant a website is from the perspective of a search engine is how many unique places that are linked to from that website that people also find useful. I think this is a useful rough measurement of relevance and thus in a structural sense the more you link to genuinely relevant and interesting things, the more connected the entire community becomes in a generative way.
Take for example Metafilter, one of the ways you can quantify that Metafilter is an interesting and unique website to read is the degree of interesting and unique links that are placed into context in interesting ways there.

Someone shook my hand and introduced themselves when I first met them. The gall they had to advertise themselves to me like that!
Fuck those cunts, so rude, you just want human connection instead of people trying to make you learn brands (their name) and form brand loyalty (friendship). But if you are interested, I sell Aramaic demonic succubi traps on etsy.

I blocked that user the other day. They spam content, which is intentionally degraded, and they troll people who call them on it. I thought about saying something, but I looked at their history and this is just what they do, all the time. I didn't know they made a whole platform about it. Thanks for the context.
Like, I even get what they're saying. I would not appreciate art if it were watermarked across the middle. I wouldn't hate it, I'd either downvote it or not vote at all. I would consider that trashy, though there's probably a reason (people stealing art and making stickers of it, for example). I just would not upvote it. But what this user is doing is going to the trouble to crop artist names off of comic strips because they believe the artist should not be known. They want the credit for what they do but they don't think others should get credit, and that's the problem.
I see no problem with spamming content on Lemmy, especially considering I see less and less content each week here. Although I dont agree with their cropping decision I still respect their opinion. Also I wish they didnt get this much hate here.

https://joinfediverse.wiki/Lemmy/enBro i dont care, stop making art if you dont enjoy it, im screenshotting funny pictures and sharing while i poop it's not that serious. Artists are supposed to make art because they feel they have to, not because they want everyone to know their name.

Seeing them get ratioed into oblivion is nice
fuck i didn't even see that one.

Bro i dont care
I doubt that. No care = no comment.
And usually I'd take the time to unpack the remaining drivel, but instead I think I'll leave you with another work of art to ponder.
Here's Tim Minchin with a beat poem called Mitsubishi Colt

Cool bro im sure tim minchin really appreciates you citing him, they would stop making art if it wasn't for you

they want you to buy stuff at the store. it's all an ad
Buying a copy of the Mona Lisa from the gift shop is a lot cheaper than buying the actual Mona Lisa.

I'm sorry, the best I can do is write "credit to the artist" because I'm too lazy to look up who did it. Take it or leave it, bucko
/sI think that's really all anyone is asking for.

that's because you're in France, go to Britain and you can take whatever you want for free. that's how it all got there anyways

::: spoiler I prefer the Moona Lisa
:::I went to the Guggenheim and bought nothing from the gift shop, but I did buy the above image as a fridge magnet from a street vendor outside of it. Much more affordable, and absolutely worth it.

You're a fucking loser

Yeah and youre a winner because you cite the artist on a meme lmao

I have tagged them so I know to downvote when they remove signatures (sometimes they don't notice, which is amusing)
lol. I also have apparently had that user already tagged as toxic.

People need food, shelter, and healthcare to live. Many artists are denied these things because they choose to provide us with entertainment instead of feeding the capitalist machinery. That is in fact very serious.

It pisses me off so much when I go to the art museum and see a cool piece that the artist RUINED by putting an advertisement in the bottom corner.
And then the museum has the audacity to put another plaque with an advertisement next to it, too! The nerve on these people.
I mean I can't wait for the paintings in 100 years to be AI generated with the person who wrote the prompt having their snap chat qr Code or tiktok handle in the corner.

Brother it don't have to be that complicated. Only a piece of shit tries to steal someone else's work. Don't be a piece of shit. Not that difficult.

There was enough art to last anyone a thousand lifetimes before any of us were born, nobody is doing the world a favor by not getting a real job and sitting at home making art
