Reposting is fucking evil.
I saw this while browsing tags and I liked it; I checked on it later to reblog and saw that it was tagged “not mine”
So I went to find the original. Turns out that it belongs to mydreammagic on deviantART.
If you look at the repost, it has 331 notes. Wanna see how much the original got?
5 favorites. The one comment is me telling the artist that someone stole their work.
Oh, and the reposter? They have a tipjar, as if they worked for this.
Reposting hurts artists. Reposting takes exposure and attention away from artists. Reposting is theft.
I agree to an extent. As long you give the artist credit, it should be fine. Even if someone who reposted it and it exploded on their page but not the original creator, it’s still giving that artist exposure.
