This is a comic by beetlemoses.
OP believes that leaving in the comic name or artist's signature is "advertising".

Well that explains the recent push to not remove attributions instead of just requiring them. Must have missed that post because of the down vote threshold.
What a tool.
Seems evil enough to me, if they're doing it purpoesly why hasn't a mod or someone told em to knock it off and to start their own instance with their bs?
This community doesn't have any active mods.
Thanks. That's quite the extreme take, I get not wanting a crappy watermark across the whole comic. But a subtle signature, or small panel with their name should be fine.
If they erase social links, that's still crappy but more understandable.
If they really believe the image it self shouldn't have a credit, then they should put the credit in the post description. They could use a spoiler, so it's up the individual if they want to be "advertised" to.

The OP has stated that they won't consistently attribute sources, even in the way you suggest, until the community implements the rule they want enforcing that users strip attribution out: https://lemmus.org/comment/17161116
They don't deserve your benefit of the doubt, unfortunately.
Wow, what a loony. Must have gotten on the wrong end of his high horse.
Damn I didn't know about that post of theirs.
OP clearly don't give a fuck about rules as he has busted past the 2 posts a day rule.
This plonker again.
Open it; it's probably a banger promo from Money, Inc.
