<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

For example, take [this wonderful front-page example] where someone linked to a screenshot from  and made the front page with it.

The problem I have is that a lot of these funny sites or webcomics depend on clicks and ad-views for a living. You're stealing someone's stuff, taking traffic away from their site, and in many cases the imgur pictures do NOT give attribution to the author. Fortunately, people may post the original link in the comments, but what about the many people who click on the imgur link but never read the comments?

This isn't like the MPAA/RIAA stuff where the guy you're ripping off is an out-of-date middle-man, who himself is ripping off the creator. Here are guys who have taken away the barrier between you and them, who are directly affected by your page views.

If you want to help ease the load off their servers, the least you could do is to put the link in a prominent place in the imgur title or something. But that doesn't seem to be a consideration in many circumstances.

(This doesn't even begin to get into the posts that are just rants like this, but displayed as an image, sometimes even  in a plain font with no graphics, black and white. I guess if I really wanted to make the front page with this, I should take this text, put it into an image, post that to imgur and THEN post it, eh?)
