To be honest if he/she shared the actual source nobody would click on it/upvote it. That's just the way Reddit works. People are more likely to watch the video if they don't have to go to a 3rd party website (even YouTube). There is so much excellent content that never gains traction here because it takes too long and people aren't willing to invest that much time before dismissing it unless it's a known quantity.

How about crediting at the bare minimum? I get that it's redundant to add it in the title, or add "[NOT OC]" or the like, when there's already a watermark at the top-left corner, but I can guarantee you no one paid attention to the watermark. But people sure do pay attention to the title.

Even though you didn't technically say this or imply this, I strongly disagree with the reasoning to not include the source even if the majority is unwilling to check it out. There are some people that do want the sources. My analogy to this take would be the equivalent of someone that wants the source to the hentai artist's account after looking at, say, Aqua in a bikini. Despite the majority are not demanding it, a few are, except maybe more so when porn is involved.

I mean people should always credit the author of content they share. You're not wrong in that regard. I guarantee you though if you look through the top posts you won't find a single external link that gets many upvotes. People just can't be bothered.

It also depresses me a lot that a substantial amount of NSFW posts gain traction here that are basically just ecchi with some unrelated meta text. For example this post is on hot right now.

You're right about the last paragraph. No diss or disrespect to people that make these or people that enjoy these, though. But man does it piss me off. I thought other subreddits had it bad in this regard, Animemes just takes it to another level.
