Kinda curious about this; what's the deal with folks cutting off the artist's name and site?

I read the "ads" argument in the comments, but I don't buy it as attribution isn't an advert. So what's it actually all about?

What's especially crazy is he does this to artists who make web comics, but when he posts news articles he posts a link to the article and sometimes an excerpt, and some of those include the names of the authors. So the only "ads" that count are the signatures/watermarks/socials on web comics.
