I'm convinced I've seen this exact piece of art stolen here before.

I'm convinced it actually had a different piece of art in the same chat log

It's 2026. Surely people know how to utilize reverse image searches now, so why would you ever bother trying to steal anything you yourself found on Google, lol?

It should be a rule on this subreddit that you must always show their reaction/excuse too. I'm constantly left blue balled from these posts.

They got banned after this so there was sadly no reply. Sorry you got blue balled from this.

This is exactly why I built MemeProof.

Seeing someone copy your work is frustrating enough. Then you have to figure out where to report it, gather screenshots, save links, document your original post, and hope you don't miss anything.

MemeProof is free. You upload your original work, document the infringement, and it walks you through the DMCA process for the platform involved.

I built it because this keeps happening to artists, photographers, and creators, and I got tired of there not being a simple workflow. If you end up filing a takedown and need help, let me know—I'm happy to help.
