Gary Larson has a lengthy history of not particularly liking people posting his cartoons around the internet outside of his control.

Oh, I'm familiar with that. The person posting them figured that since Larson is publishing again, on his own website, that they'd be fair game for the thread. A few comics creators have joined SA for that thread, and expressed their approval/appreciation; Larson was not one of them, though lol

This has been one of the cooler things that's happened on this forums, is that many of the comics created have obliquely or directly referenced the thread after their comics started getting posted.

im convinced guy mann bought a bunch of followers for his twitter account because he has 20k but even his biggest posts only manage like 300 likes/50 retweets, and his patreon only has literally 10 subs.

its been very common for a long time and you can always tell who bought their followers because like you said they get zero engagement on anything they do

when youtube switched from favoring long videos to shorter ones people realized that with how its set up if you watch a single family guy clip youtube will keep recommending them to you until the end of time so they jut make family guy clip compilations that are the same few dozen bits rearranged in different ways with different ones in the thumbnail and rake in the views

happens with futurama and simpsons and stuff too

I'm not sure where to raise the issue, but Guy Mann is posting screenshots from the goon memorial thread as content for his weird Twitter account. Is there any way to stop him from seeing the forums entirely? That seems to be way too personal to be grabbing and reposting on the general internet.

When I get home from work I am going to obliterate all of his accounts.

I read the Twitter account. That's sicko poo poo so I permad his accounts and will be on the lookout for new ones.

I remember in 2007 era youtube at least one video raked in over half a million views with a fake "How to unlock all weapons in halo 3" video that had a 2 minute long stillframe of master chief in the middle to use as the thumbnail and the actual video before and after the middle stillframe was just low effort ear-drum shattering Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog/Hotel Mario youtube poop
