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 are actually.
Hey, I'd appreciate it if you made a new account for each post and comment you make, seeing the same username on each of them is advertising and deeply offends me
What are they selling you? More of their comics?
More of their free comics. The horror.
Artist names/signatures are not ads.
I don’t agree. I just want to know who made the art. Attribution is not the same as advertising.
A Patreon link or a watermark I could see as advertising, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that directly on a comic image.
Do you have some actual examples?
