Attribution is not advertising. Cite the artist. (Cropping out citations is just extra work anyway.)

sorry english is not my first language. What is the difference? Attribution and citing is both giving who made it or is it not?
You are correct.
The post is pointing out the difference between attribution and advertisement.
i still don’t get it xD
English is my first language and you have me second guessing myself.
Citations are typically used for sources in academic papers or Wikipedia.
Quotes often get misattributed to various incorrect historical figures.
Accreditation is probably the word I should have used, but attribution is what I was seeing in comments the most.
Also, to me accreditation sounds like something a university or a mortgage bond would seek, not so much an artist, but honestly I don’t know for sure.
Ramble aside, yes, they essentially mean the same thing.
so the joke is that both is kinda useless to the artist?
To find an artist’s signature or a comic’s website URL to be an advertisement is the clown opinion being joked about here.
Shaming plagiarists and encouraging proper citation before posting to a public platform are the objectives.
“Useless to the artist” is a post of their work that doesn’t link back to them.
soo its about having a clickable link
That likely helps artists the most, but the bare minimum is not cropping out (or digitally erasing) their signature, whatever that signature happens to be.
c/comicstrips has seen an increase in the number of posts where the original artwork was defaced in the name of ‘ad blocking’.
OP is an idiot. Attribution is a good form of advertising, but because we all sacrificed our wits to the altar of anti consumerism, we must say that all and any form of advertisement is bad.
The only way through this cognitive dissonance is to say attribution is not advertisement.
