Posting a copy of an artist’s © art without permission in order to receive upvotes and money is not polite.
I have noticed countless posts of art images by posters who do not own the art. They give no credit to the artists who created the art.
I do not understand why these posts receive large amounts of upvotes and money … while many original artists creating fresh new art often receive little or no votes. Often these creators spend decades learning their craft, yet their work is taken in seconds.
These unethical posters do not ask the artist’s permission, they do not list the artist’s name or give the creator any credit. They simply take images from the internet and make money from art that they did not create.
Please support artists who invest their time, energy, and money to bring us original art…. and may we encourage others to stop upvoting those individuals who are profiting from someone else’s hard work and concepts.
