   Someone shared a comic I liked, but I noticed that somewhere in the chain, the artists name had been removed, so that stopped me. Reverse image searching proved surprisingly frustrating and involved diving into the cesspit of LinkedIn, but I eventually identified the artist as Irina Blok, but I can't link to the original image because its in Instagram jail, so here's her site.

   That was a pain in the ass. Please don't trim credits. It's an asshole move.

     I can half understand not going out of your way to add credit... but to go out of your way to remove it, like why?

     @rdonoghue A pox on people who remove the credit from an image.

     Agreed, evil with no real motivation, at least most forms of evil is motivated by at least greed lol.

     Yes, I get not taking time to do some research to find a source, etc. But taking extra time to remove that info is just evil.

     @freemo @TabletopBellhop I feel like if I really understood that, I would be a much richer (but much sadder) person.

     Hilariously, when I finally found the image, it was posted by a VP of Something on Linked In, and the message he was promoting was that the problem was video meetings, and if there were fewer of those, then we could all happily return to the office and mingle like good minions.

     I admit, I am kind of genuinely impressed at the level of self delusion that reading required. I applaud the commitment to the bit, VP of Something. .

     Also, I think “VP of Something" has now permanently entered my vocabulary as a shorthand for an instantly recognizable type of guy.

     If you think that guy sounds like an ass, I'm not going to argue, but he at least included the artist's credit with the image, so the VP of Something is still doing better than a lot of people.

     I like to think we can all clear that low, low bar.

     @freemo, well… could be a re-share of the image with the credit already removed. Can't tell which it is (generally), unfortunately.
