Not cool. When I repost something, I tag it with original source. No different than quoting someone and giving them credit.

He’s talking about the Twitter user who literally plagiarized. The Reddit user who posted the screen shot isn’t terrible, it’s low effort but he included what he thought was the OC in the screenshot at least.

Don't these clowns know it's not plagiarized as long as they credit the OP? How fucking difficult is it to credit the work? Lazy or stupid, either way it's wrong.

No, like, the guy from Twitter actually stole the design and claimed it as his own design. The person who posted it to Reddit yesterday didn’t know that though.

I have no problem with the Reddit user that reposted from Twitter—I’m sure he wasn’t aware of the original. I do have an issue with the Twitter user who clearly repurposed my work.

A huge chunk of this sub is historical pictures or pictures pulled off instagram with no sourcing. Just people karma farming internet points with content from other people.

I used to post photos on a now defunct site, but I always put a "watermark" on them. Too much of a hassle to copyright like a professional would, but I'd make it difficult for some lazy skeeve who didn't want to put in the work.
