It's not really a big deal. The site is written at the bottom of the comic, most people use ad-block so he's not stealing a lot of revenue, and hosting it on imgur reduces the load on the explosm servers, although they could handle it, I'm sure.

Downvoted for not linking to the artist's site.

Link to the source. Cyanide and Happiness can handle the traffic and use the revenue. Imgur doesn't deserve the money for Cy&H's work.

You're an imgur using karma whore.

Not that i disagree with you but how exactly does Imgur get revenue with these direct links to images? Am I missing something again because i use adblock?

Am I missing something again because i use adblock?

Yes.

[–]sebso 2 points3 points ago

Yes.

And what exactly would that be? I have had AdBlock disabled on imgur pretty much since the beginning, and I've never seen ads on a direct image link. In fact, I don't see how there would be any ads, since the direct link serves up only the image without any other data.

I'm not saying that re-hosting comics on imgur is the right thing to do. In fact, I think that one should always link the the original site. I was just pointing out that the original point you made was:

Imgur doesn't deserve the money for Cy&H's work.

Taladar pointed out that imgur does not, in fact, get any money when you link directly to the image (emphasis added):

how exactly does Imgur get revenue with these direct links to images? Am I missing something again because i use adblock?

To which you replied "Yes", implying that imgur somehow did get money from direct image links, which, by your own admission, they don't.

You're point doesn't fall in line with the original argument that Cy&H doesn't get anything from an imgur link.

That wasn't the point of this discussion. The point was whether or not imgur got ad revenue from direct image links, and they don't.

I didn't see the words direct link the first time I read it.

Link to the site with both of these comics you have put as seperate posts... Cy&H have asked us to do this multiple times, you still get your karma and they get nice amounts of traffic

OMFSM! WHERE'D THAT COMIC COME FROM? I can't tell just by looking at it. And posting links to content which isn't in it's original place is STEALING!! We don't do that on reddit. LINK TO THE BLOODY SITE, ADOLF MCKARMAWHOREYPANTS!!

Jesus of the bible is just another Harry Potter in a book full of magic and other similar nonsense!

[–]HenryDeTamble 1 point2 points ago

This is spot on. Having accounts of his miracles should all the more be evidence that Jesus isn't real. People are using his miracles as proof that he exists.

Well Jesus might have existed,but he's definitely not some son of God with special powers.

Hmm... if one day someone makes a levitation device using lasers based on this joke, he could say "Jesus inspired him" :P
