      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.

          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’.
