People see it as a way to spread awareness about the fediverse alternatives that are out there. Like "hey, if you like this, there's more where that came from." It's not for viewers who are already here, but for those where the post inevitably travels.
I dunno. Both watermarking and being annoyed at the watermarks seem like a waste of energy to me. If people are going to generate content, I'm not going to sass them about how unless it makes something about the content worse (harder to read etc).

I’ve never seen this, but I don’t think Lemmy should be watermarking uploads.

It doesn't, a few uploaders are doing it even though everyone has been asking them to stop.

The only people asking them to stop are weirdos that apparently think advertising doesn't work.
No one with a mental balance approaching healthy cares what creators do with their memes enough to whine at them about it either way.

I dont want to advertise lemmy to everyone, also most people will see you as cringe and weird if they even recognise what the logo is

Oh god! People might find out about Lemmy, fuck what do we do?????
As long as it's not actually something stolen from another site, what's the harm?

Watermarks are the bumper stickers of memes.
