Tbh, my latest upload sparked a huge row over inspiration tags
Honestly, I posted a fantasy landscape I made last night. Half the comments said I should tag the artist whose style I learned from. The other half told me to let my work speak for itself. Now I'm confused about the right way to do things. Where do you all draw the line?

Read a thing on a trucker forum about this last week. Some guy got heat for not saying where he got his rig's paint job idea. Basically comes down to respect. Tag the inspo, then make it your own.

That "let your work speak for itself" line is the same debate happening everywhere now. It's not just art. It's like a band covering a song and not naming the original, or a blogger using a famous writer's style. The line is blurry. I see it in my office where someone redoes a presentation format and gets heat for not crediting the first guy who made it. Everyone is copying and building on something, but no one agrees when you need to say where it came from.

Totally see this in how people share stuff online now. Someone will post a "life hack" that's just a repackaged tip from ten years ago, or a recipe with one ingredient changed called "original." Feels like we lost the old web etiquette of linking your sources, and now it's just a free for all where whoever shouts loudest gets credit. Makes you wonder if the problem is less about copying and less about how fast everything moves now, so no one bothers to track where an idea started.
