#idc if you wanna try weaseling out of the water and energy use by saying it's all startup costs only

and then you can say "well it's your fault for posting art publicly, that means it's free for anyone to do literally anything they want to with it" we're talking about artists with real well-paying jobs, do you think it's their decision if or how their art was distributed by their commissioner? do you really think every artist has had complete control over every instance of their art online? do you really think artists were supposed to psychically prophesize there would be climate-hurting-machines that could make shitty versions of their art as a side effect because they posted their art online (necessary to maintain any kind of audience or living as an independent artist btw). you'd be wrong, lmao!! internet equivalent of saying "if you didn't want me taking your picture you shouldn't have gone out in public"
