Reposters, and a thread on why they are more harmful than anything especially on Instagram

First off, let's put the bases down: what is a reposter? A reposter is someone (usually on Instagram) who will take a screenshot of the art and repost it on their page, crediting or not the original artist. Their page will so contain only artwork that isn't from them, and will add captions to fit their theme.

So, how is harmful?

Because unlike what you might think, it doesn't bring any attention to the artist. Nor help them grow in popularity. What they are doing is stealing likes and popularity on the back of artists to fit their theme because they usually don't want to draw and are a roleplay account, and like to repost art they see on Pinterest.

The artist barely get any view from this, actually. Because a majority of people finding the post of the reposter won't bother following the artist and just like and follow the reposter and thus, not giving the views to the original artist.

Reposters also may not credit, or may not want to credit the artist because of laziness, usually, or because they think crediting the rightfully creator the art they stole and reposted is wrong and that they are in their right.

A small example of this.

Here the first picture is from a repost account I took completely randomly from the eddsworld hashtag. You can see it has a lot of attraction. The account is near 10k which is quite a lot. They took the time to add credit, which is a good thing, but it won't sadly solve the biggest issue.

Which is that the original artist has half the views and interaction as the original post. Which is very alarming, don't you think?

(Art rightfully owned by the talented @dditjmej , and I really ask you to follow and support their content if you appreciate it)

This is the biggest problem about repost, the reposter gets more interaction than the artist and the artist only has a small portion of the reposter's followers that will actually like the original post. Because why bother following each artist when there's someone stealing art and reposting it for you to like on the platform you're on?

People might say that it is necessary to bring art on other medias than only the original one where the artist post, but if you really liked and supported the artist you would promote their page and invite people to follow them on the platform, not repost it.

This is literally like website stealing content from small creators and making money off of them and still saying "But we are crediting! We are doing nothing wrong!" It doesn't help the artist and actually harm them more than anything.

And I will add that some artists don't want to see their art reposted or don't want to see it on internet anymore for any reason, and reposters, often finding it by Pinterest and not caring, will repost it anyway and be even more wrong because they clearly went against the artist's will, and you cannot pretend you support someone while going against what they say.

This is the end of the thread, and for those who read it til here, I hope it taught you something, if you already didn't know.

My mother is a dietitian and she always rants about the inadequate performances of some of the people working in her clinic. The last thing they want is physical proof that they were ignorant of a patient’s needs or procedures. If you are assigned someone who seems laid back and doesn’t take your appointments seriously, write your appointments in a calendar. Write down exactly what they did or told you after appointments (or if they have you take something that you aren’t sure about). Writing this down would be good for your health in case you need to see someone else for a diagnoses.

EDIT: HAVE THEM WRITE DOWN THEIR TREATMENT METHODS FOR YOU IN YOUR FILE! Don’t request, DEMAND. Have them write it down in front of you if you think something is up!
