It's not that I prefer having images occluded by anything, signatures, text boxes, or whatever... But when it comes to online protections for someone's work, hell yeah put that shit on there.
The best part is that I've been saying this well before generative AI was mainstream. Artists who put their work on public domains who don't want it getting into the hands of others shouldn't have an issue with signing the hell out of the image. They can of course add it before uploading and not to the original.
Would it be amazing if people properly lisenced others work and/or requested permission to use it? Absolutely. That's just not the world we live in.
This still seems like a crazy take to me. Yeah, putting a giant watermark on a piece of art protects it from theft, but it also destroys the artwork.
