      Yeah! How dare the artist protect their work and ensure they are credited when it gets shared! The audacity.

      I disagree. Content theft is more rampant than ever. The only people who are truly bothered by watermarks like this are the ones who would be stealing it and reposting it without credit.

        And if you care about content theft, then you’re not worth your content being stolen. So things better, not worse.

      There’s a good chance the artist has seen their work being shared elsewhere without any mention to the author so I don’t blame them.

            Not plastering over literally every single mm^2 would be a start, but what do I know, as a user/viewer, I’m supposed to just look and not criticize (according to the rest of the troglodytes).

              You are free to say whatever you like, and of couse everyone else can agree or disagree with you. But apparently whoever disagrees is a troglodyte, so I guess you are always right. Didn’t even notice the watermark till you pointed it out.

                Tell me you’re legally blind without telling me you’re legally blind.

              How would you make an effective watermark? I have only heard this way of stopping people from stealing your work so im curious if there are better alternatives
