      Because it is wildly disrespectful to the original artist, coming close to you tacitly trying to claim credit for creating it, and makes it harder for people to find the original source, especially if someone quotes, crossposts, forwards or otherwise repeats your post.

      It’s thoroughly obnoxious behaviour, you’ve been told that repeatedly, by many people. Just stop doing it.

      It helps the people who take the time to create comics we enjoy to eat and survive. These memes/comics are posted as adverts for their skills as much as they are for our enterainment.

      We get free funny comics non stop. They get upvotes, people sharing, and exposure in return. That’s the deal.
