No. Absolutely not. Watermarked memes are the scourge of online culture, no matter what you watermark it with.

[-] exu@feditown.com 10 points 1 year ago

Made with mematic

[-] BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

Love this idea. Except I think the watermark should be much much bigger and block the view of the entire meme. Ah yes much better

Yeah, this is silly 9gag stuff. Not like people on here don't take memes from other parts of the internet too. In the end, these things are supposed for sharing.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 45 points 1 year ago

Has the corporate internet warped peoples minds so much they now think they themselves need to restrict usage of their stuff?

[-] koorool@feddit.de 33 points 1 year ago

Not restrict, but sign.

Did you like this joke? Look here for more. Oh no, you are fediversed now, oh well.

Exactly. We are totally not a cult.

[-] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago

As a shitpost this is amazing

As an actual idea, fuck off

[-] AGuyAcrossTheInternet@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

But I am viewing this on kbin! Better adapt Google's WebDRM stuff to make sure memes stay where they're uploaded first!

[-] cokane_88@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That's a decent idea, ©️ also this post has been copyrighted.

I stole this post.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago

My god this is getting cultish

[-] ConsciousLochNess@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

No let’s not at all please

To be fair, feddit.de memes often use the full logo which contains the domain name so people might wonder what it's about and go there.

Having just a super ugly icon like this without any context serves no useful purpose.

[-] CIWS-30@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, watermarked memes (and watermarked most things in general) are a scourge on the internet. I stopped following a Youtube channel that's mostly playthrough's of old fighting games because he suddenly decided one day to add an annoying (and ugly) watermark to the corner of ALL of his videos including the old ones.

Luckily, I'd found a similar one who was actually better at playing the fighting games themselves. I switched to that dude instead.

[-] Surreal@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

Isn't that the channel's icon?

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I was thinking too. I turned mine on, it's mostly transparent with just my logo outline but it's there.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Is it hard coded or something you could removed with an extension/Revanced?

It's cringe

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Use AI to remove the watermark and steal this🙌

[-] Vuraniute@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

with the level of obnoxiousness meme-watermarkers have, it's practically a moral obligation

[-] Jtee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just screenshot the corner of the template and paste it over the watermark

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Christ Lemmy really is just as obnoxious as reddit.
