This started out entertaining, then I realized that there is no attribution for the designs, and even though there are several links that say things like "the original thread," they are all just links to search results for "volume" on the ProgrammerHumor subreddit.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoI am usually one to call out unattributed art, but in this case (IIRC) the ProgrammerHumor community is the source of this trend. You can confirm this by pasting the URL of any of these images to tineye.com and sorting by 'oldest' to check when the image first appeared online, eg: https://tineye.com/search/af9c3fe10f5da6775143aa30a421733c4fc344c6?sort=crawl_date&order=asc&page=1 https://tineye.com/search/af9c3fe10f5da6775143aa30a421733c4f...
- Sharlin 5y agoIt never was a single thread but a meme that lasted for a while, with people making lots of different top-level posts. So linking to search results is the best you can do.
- egypturnash 5y agoYou could... link to the particular post, instead of the search you found it in?
- Sharlin 5y agoGood point :D
- seattle_spring 5y agoWould attributing the posts to random Reddit names provide much value? If I knew the 3rd one was from /u/potato_up_my_rectum, it's not like I would go seek out his other art or work.
- FroshKiller 5y agoThe point of attribution is to give credit to the creators. It's an intrinsically valuable act. You might not go look at their other posts, but I might. And if I were one of the creators whose work was taken to add value to someone's blog post, I'd appreciate the courtesy.
