I posted an image to reddit which someone with a medium sized twitter following took and posted. They had no intention of crediting me with any links to my socials where I might benefit, their post was a letter for letter copy of the title directly from reddit which I included my IG handle, which is the same as the handle for a twitter account I made (which I only have because twitter requires you to have an account for DMCA notices but I have 0/0 followers and no tweets, it’s a dead account), so I got a notification - I would not be surprised if it was just a bot account reposting popular content scrapped from reddit.
I replied and said a “no thanks” to their posting, then an hour later filed a DMCA notice, which was acted on about 4-5 hours later. So over all they had about 4-5 hours to do something about it before they got a copystrike.

Then they have the nerve to cuss me out on multiple platforms and send their followers after me, with one even saying “If I wanted my pictures copyrighted, I should have copyrighted them” which gave me a bit of a laugh.
lol, the absolute entitlement as if I have to let you view my images or let someone use my images to bolster their reach on twitter to gain more followers.

I’m happy you enjoy my artwork where and when I choose to share it, but I don’t owe it to you. And I’m also quite aware that when I share work online it gets taken and reposted, but it’s also my right to request that it gets removed, and if you do it without asking me, well that’s not really my fault when you get a little slap on the wrist.
