No bec the LAPS I have run around google lens and messaging boards, desperately searching for the original artist.

Rarely I will find them, usually I get caught in a feedback loop on Pinterest.

Why am I searching so desperately? Usually, because they create content for something I like in a good style and I want to see their full gallery and follow them.

Sometimes it's because I saw what looks like a print, and I wanna see if I can buy one.

Occasionally, it's just because the image I saw was really low quality, but I can tell the piece is probably really cool, so I wanna see the original artists' posts with all the quality.

All of this potential traffic to their socials stopped in its tracks bec someone said 'credit to the artist :)' with not even a username, let alone a link! GIRLYPOP. THAT'S NOT HELPFUL. Now I gotta go all inspector gadget searching your terrible quality reupload for watermarks and click on every Google lens link, hoping it's not just another reupload without credit or DAMNED PINTREST T^T

“credit goes to the artist! :)”

well unfortunately it really fucking didn’t, is the thing
