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.
Watermarks protect the actual creator's stuff from people claiming it as their own work. This is a dumb idea.
As I said, why it doesn't exist in music and art then?
It absolutely does exist in music.

As another example, the artist Giga has their name spoken out within the first few seconds (usually right before the lyrics start) in many of his works: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvq3kUGY5Dbsdkr3DZx25Sw
They do...?
Signatures and watermarks are in almost all works of art.
A watermark on a piece of recorded music is something that is part of the digital composition. It can be in the metadata, it could be in the waveform itself. You'd only see it through analysis of the file.
Same can, and often is, done with video. Even code for software.
A good watermark is one that isn't obvious, so it can't be removed or tampered with.
You made a good point... For my argument!
Music don't contain watermarks that ruin the experience in the work itself.
It's available in text attribution/ metadata base.
Leave the experience alone out of the attribution.
If you're bothered by the creator putting their signature in the margins, where it covers nothing, that's entitely a YOU problem. And since you constantly crop the signature off your posts, I find your engagement here to be in bad faith. Credit the creators and quit being a mook.
Fabolous out here for years spelling out his name in every song, and here you are just lying.

Stop calling out my laziness to open krita...
I actually put credits on my comics as I actually need to edit them
