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.

    Music don’t contain watermarks that ruin the experience in the work itself.

    They do, and I find it a lot more obnoxious than a label in the borders on an image

    It’s available in text attribution/ metadata base.

    When I download a song, the file comes with the metadata. When I download an image, the creator information is not there. When images are shared, it’s very often the image alone and not a link to the page with the image.

    Also artists have been leaving a signature on their art for as long as we’ve had art. All people are asking is that you share the art as it was created instead of modifying each piece before you share it. By doing that, you’re deciding for other people what is best.

    This honestly feels like a good opportunity for you to make a separate community and post your edits there so that the people who prefer that format can subscribe to it.
