You do not understand what these mean, but for some reason the ways are engraved in your head.

Hey I found ur art uncredited on tik Tok

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMreQSnaw/

They said they "found it on Reddit" so they just decided to steal it and post it ig?? Ugh!!

Wow, that's a whole other repost to the one I thought it was going to be, lol. It's been reposted to TikTok once before, and I'm also not surprised this person got it from Reddit, where I doubt I was credited either.

At the end of the day I appreciate the heads up but there's nothing I can really do about it. The most helpful thing anyone can do is to leave comments on the reposts to provide credit,* because if artists ever try and comment then we pretty invariably get attacked. Don't be mean or aggressive, that just builds their animosity towards the artists, but I do think people respond positively to outside pressure to do the right thing 🤷

*Remember to make sure there's enough context - eg. something like "art by @ landegart on Twitter" is more searchable/useful than "artist is Landeg" to someone on TikTok who has no idea who I am haha

I love it when artists watermarked their artworks. I WANT TO KNOW THAT I AM REBLOGGING FROM THE ARTIST. I want you to get the love and support and recognition for the masterpieces you have created and have given people the privilege to see. 💖

I just witnessed a new type of bullshit. Art being reposted without permission (the usual) with credit (doesn't change the repost but at least there is that) but credit to another reporter and not the real artist (gjkglskglslfmmglsl)

I've gotten so burnt out by the lack of respect that some Vtubers/Content creators show to artists that I've decided to follow the "3 Clicks" rule:

"If within 3 clicks off their main platform I can't find the credit to the artist, then I'm never working for/with them." 😤😮‍💨

I will call out each and every single reposter I see because I'm that bitch. Artists already have it so rough trying to get engagement on the platforms they're on so it's a goddamn kick in the fucking teeth when their work is STOLEN and reposted to other places or even on the very platform they're on!

Don't do it. Don't repost someone else's artwork. You need permission and nine times out of ten they don't grant it so you're effectively stealing their work.

It takes literal seconds to find the source. And remember:

Pinterest isn't a source, it's a theft ring.

Do people know what "do not reupload my art" means? No uh.

sometimes i feel super flitty n absent minded

[sabertoothwalrus]

some of you have to get a lot better at not reblogging stolen artwork.

Even if it's credited, that doesn't rule out if art has been posted without permission, which is REALLY important nowadays with the rise of AI. If you claim to be against AI because it steals from artists, then you can't be ok with regular old art theft.

Personally, the main reason *I* don't like my art getting reposted is because I lose control over what happens to it. People are less likely to find the links to my store (and right now, every purchase counts), someone else might steal and it repost it somewhere else, and on top of that, now I have to worry about my art getting AI scraped because someone uploaded to some other website.

Sure, plenty of artists are ok with reposts. but for the time being, I think it's safer to avoid reblogging artwork that wasn't posted by the artist themself.

(and an obligatory reminder for those who aren't aware: "reblogging" is the built-in way to share art on tumblr, and a "repost" is uploading the artwork onto an entirely new post. these terms are NOT interchangeable.)

My toxic trait is that I wholeheartedly believe that social media would be a better place if there was an option to report people that repost art
