    An influencer doesn’t always get direct pay for funny memes on their social media account but it contributes to their presence/status which is what enables monetization.

    What you’re doing isn’t as clear cut as you assume.

      Depends on the watermark that is being removed. So many memes out there have random watermarks on them of some crappy facebook account or random website that has nothing to do with the content, they just slap their logo on everything they share.

        Very fair point. Random ass social media accounts watermarking shit they didn’t even make. Reddit is terrible about that by default.

          I agree with your core point, if the watermark is a maker’s mark, then it would be wrong to remove it.
