Sorry for being delusional :(

Posted by SouSTAR - November 28th, 2024


I was very confused by all these copyright and indexation things, I began to think that there's wasn't real way to prove my art was mine.

It's the first time I'm uploading things to the internet, so it was just a matter of time until a newbie like me would just get confused...


Thanks to @Yatsufusa for explaining me how these things works and thanks to @MetalSlayer69 and @Chdonga for knocking some sense into me. Didn't knew this type of "I'll delete everything" behavior was common...


I just wanted to have "more control" on my works, but it doesn't really mean anything : it's the internet. Things get reuploaded, stolen, but it's only the popular things that get this treatment, and nobody really care because we already know the source...

And if I saw things I deleted still appearing, it's just because it wasn't updated by these "crawlers" (thanks @Pingu for explaining it to me) so I don't really have to worry about these things...


Thank you all again and sorry. Shouldn't make an alarming post like this for nothing. I'll try to be more rational... And to stop trying to go too fast...


Sorry again... :(

No need to apologize dude! It's not delusion. You had a genuine concern and I hope that everyone who commented eased your stress.

@Chdonga
Thank you very much for helping me

Wanting control over your creative work (or as a colleague once put it "My BABIES!") is quite natural for any creative person and that motivation came across in the news post you are alluding to. There is nothing wrong with taking steps to improve/ensure your control of your projects (like a signature, watermarks, glazing, etc.) but as others have already comprehensively pointed out: You just can't control 'everything'.

If you ever feel anxious in this regard and can spare 2 minutes, this video from ToonHole might also help you:

(He made 5 of these videos, all of them are good, and everyone on NG should watch all of them - multiple times. ;) But I think that one will be the most relevant to you 'right now'.)

Also thanks to @Chdonga, @MetalSlayer69, as well as @Pingu from me 'for being there'.

@Yatsufusa
Thank you
I set it in favs and will watch it
