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

[-] exu@feditown.com 10 points 10 months ago

Made with mematic

[-] BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 57 points 10 months 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 43 points 10 months 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 31 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

As a shitpost this is amazing

As an actual idea, fuck off

[-] AGuyAcrossTheInternet@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Roundcat@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

My memes are for anyone on the internet to see, and hell even use. They usually don't take a lot of effort to make, and its not like a lot of my ideas are entirely original anyway. I'd be flattered more than anything that someone thought of my jokes worthy of repeating.

[-] cokane_88@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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

I stole this post.

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.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 10 points 10 months ago

My god this is getting cultish

[-] ConsciousLochNess@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

No let’s not at all please

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/9XN57BhyZwk

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

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 10 months ago

Isn't that the channel's icon?

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] Surreal@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

It's cringe

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

Use AI to remove the watermark and steal this🙌

[-] Vuraniute@thelemmy.club 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Jtee@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Christ Lemmy really is just as obnoxious as reddit.
