[orange is cracking a joke at a crowd of diverse people who do not seem receptive at all]
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if you lost all your rights?
Hypothetically, as a thought experiment
[orange is shaking with laughter, the crowd is looking pissed]
Chill buddies, it’s just satire
I was joking haha you fell for my bait
Epic humor moment 100
[zoom on orange’s eyes, which seem full of evil intentions]
You do sound like a dick whether you mean it or not.
Use a search engine and look up what a watermark is. It’s text that’s spread all over the image, making it impossible to use/share without removing it, thus making the removal of attribution impossible.
I add a signature to my comics, not a watermark. It’s small and, as you just proved, very easy to remove if you think a discreet attribution is the same as an advertisement. The goal is not to make people “feel guilty”, it’s to allow people who see this comic and want to see more by the same artist to visit the website where they can find more. On the website, there are no ads, no products being sold, it’s purely there to share content with others who are looking for it.
Piss off and go bother people who care about your shitty trolling attempts instead, I’m not falling for your low tier bait (if you’re not trolling then you’re just being a gigantic asshole on purpose and that’s not any better).
Maybe a bot or translation, I have no clue what “Watermarks assume the reader is guilty by default and that they won’t mention the source.” Is possibly supposed to mean
Beep thinks everyone should go out of their way to post a link to the source when they post a comic. Beep thinks if a person doesn’t post a link, they’re guilty. Beep wants artists to not sign their work, and instead trust users to link to the source when they post a comic.
It’s not a bot, it’s a person who purposefully removes attribution from content they share on Lemmy. It’s their entire personality.
Their logic makes no sense (other than being an asshole), so their attempts to justify it make no sense either. Don’t overthink it.

OK… That was an overreaction, but alright. I just wanted to suggest it to you because I follow your website.
Nah fuck off don’t pretend to be nice, you know very well what you’re doing and why it makes you an asshole.
You wouldn’t even know there’s a website to follow in the first place if I didn’t sign my work.
Acting decently is a normal thing to do, I am talking like a normal human talking to human, while you are acting hysterically.
I found you originally via Google BTW.
Anyway, do what you like. Who am I to tell you what to do. As I said I thought you were a decent person and I follow your webcomic, so that is why I suggested this.
☮️Peace.
You know what explicitly makes you a humongously vile and despicable jackass? Not respecting artists’ own wishes in regard to how you treat their art. You apparently, according to your not-in-any-way-trustworthy words, follow the artist’s output on the web. But you explicitly declare that the artist doesn’t have a say in how their art is distributed, overriding that with your own enormously asshole-ly, obnoxious, inconsiderate and contemptible attitude toward their effort, which latter you consume as a worthless leech upon their inestimable generosity, with you being a vermin parasite upon their creative output that you could never dream of achieving even if you lived a thousand years.
Stop deluding yourself what you’re doing is decent, it’s a malicious attempt to discredit artists original work. Asking someone to join your little crusade is a slap in their face, no matter how politely you ask.
How dare these people I’m stealing from not respond to my suggestion to give up all of their stuff in a civilized tone!
What are you talking about?
This is not even close to what you are describing.
