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.

    They do…?

    Signatures and watermarks are in almost all works of art.

    A watermark on a piece of recorded music is something that is part of the digital composition. It can be in the metadata, it could be in the waveform itself. You’d only see it through analysis of the file.

    Same can, and often is, done with video. Even code for software.

    A good watermark is one that isn’t obvious, so it can’t be removed or tampered with.

      You made a good point… For my argument!

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

      It’s available in text attribution/ metadata base.

      Leave the experience alone out of the attribution.

        If you’re bothered by the creator putting their signature in the margins, where it covers nothing, that’s entitely a YOU problem. And since you constantly crop the signature off your posts, I find your engagement here to be in bad faith. Credit the creators and quit being a mook.
