Because I hate the ugliness of advertisements that make the art it is attached to, look cheap and reduce the visual experience to promote a fucking name, website or a patreon.
There is already artists who create their art ad free(like Xkcd, Cat and Girl, Between Failures, Oglaf,…etc), so why shouldn’t all the webcomic artists do the same?
Why don’t you consider links advertisements? And attributing only in this way leads to people downloading the images and sharing them carelessly, without crediting the artist.
You have, once again, removed the artist’s name from the image. Note that in the OP’s version ‘LINSEDITION.COM’ is displayed in the bottom right, but you’ve cropped it off. Stop doing that.
Why do you even do this shit, you get massive backlash every time.

Attributions are not ads. I like knowing who made which art.
That is what links are for.
Just attach a link to the post and boom. More efficient way of indicating the source.
You do not provide links.
I do.

Ad is something you are forced to see. Hyperlink to author website are just a refrance which is not forced on you.
That is the difference which make one of them acceptable and the other not.
Stop removing the artist’s tagline.

I am asking why do you want me to stop?
