    This is how the comic is shown on the artist’s website and we went through a whole thing in this community about someone modifying the comic already.

    This is also kind of getting into the reason why RSS failed. People wanted content without ads or paying for it and a lot of content providers didn’t see the utility of giving away the content for free without the chance for revenue to come in.

      True. My personal issue was always more about removing attribution which takes the credit away from the artist. It feels wrong to modify the authors image.

      We don’t have to crop it, we can just not allow it. My hate for ads vastly outweighs how funny this comic is. It’s also only this artist that is doing it.

      I’m not against having links to his stuff in the post body and all, but this is a bit forced.

      I also don’t think this sub will fail unless we allow banner ads. We are reposting content, it doesn’t have much to do with the RSS situation.

        I’m firmly bent on never paying for any entertainment I can get for free. Whereas artists are firmly bent on wanting to be paid a living wage for the art they create which entertains the masses. This conflict of interests is a tale as old as time.
