Downvote for cropping out the artist name.

They're not getting traffic to their site by us rehosting the image - all they ask is that their image is unedited to highlight credit. It's not much to ask.

(Edit:

Actually, I see removing watermarks is like part of your ethos of hating people getting credit for their work or something.. So I'm just gonna block you. Life's too short. Byeeee.)

Why is this such a big problem on here? We don't upvote OPs because they made the art, we upvote them because they are (supposed to be) good curators. Give credit, dammit.

Damn, that's unhinged. Thanks for the info.

Good shout. Blocked as well.

Second. I’m an artist and if my work gets de-credited, I’m not happy.
