Attribution is not advertising. Cite the artist. (Cropping out citations is just extra work anyway.)

What’s the temperature on posts that didn’t have the citation wherever the poster found it? Would the etiquette here be to link to that reddit post, or simply not post any content that lacks artist attribution?
I’m thinking specifically the other day something was posted where the only source another user could find was it’s previous reddit post with the citation already cropped out. I checked myself and had the same result.
If attribution can be given by linking to the original artist or otherwise annotating that the post did not have attribution and none could be found, that might be acceptable.
But this post is in reference to a prolific poster who is deliberately removing attribution they think is “ads” which includes the artists signatures, watermarks, and social media attributions. That user has been deliberately removing said attributions recently because they “want ad free art”.
