To find an artist’s signature or a comic’s website URL to be an advertisement is the clown opinion being joked about here.
Shaming plagiarists and encouraging proper citation before posting to a public platform are the objectives.
“Useless to the artist” is a post of their work that doesn’t link back to them.
soo its about having a clickable link
That likely helps artists the most, but the bare minimum is not cropping out (or digitally erasing) their signature, whatever that signature happens to be.
c/comicstrips has seen an increase in the number of posts where the original artwork was defaced in the name of ‘ad blocking’.
