Topic: New-e621 Copyright Tags in Post Page Titles

Posted under General

So I can't help noticing that in the new site, the page title for a post seems to be formatted something along the lines of

-Character tags (minus _(*) suffixes)
-One copyright tag in parentheses (In which order? It's not alphabetic or by tag count as it will pick the_legend_of_spyro on a post with activision)
-and etc if more than one copyright tag
-drawn by
-artist tag

This seems fine for when the characters are exclusively owned by the entity of the copyright tag, but if you mix and match, or throw in OCs of a species belonging to a major media IP and you wind up with page titles such as

I'm just gonna collapse this

nick and reed (blizzard entertainment and etc) drawn by pandx
nick wilde (nintendo and etc) drawn by theblueberrycarrots
lactaid cow (epic games and etc) drawn by sailormoonfan666
ferro the dragon (digimon) drawn by tres-art
(I was hoping for a lot of funny [character from other IP] (digimon) posts, but digimon has a very low priority)
alistar, rengar, and volibear (jojo's bizarre adventure and etc) drawn by raymond158
arthas (guild wars) drawn by coldesthands
toriel (bethesda softworks and etc) drawn by droll3
shaq and taylor vee (bethesda softworks and etc) drawn by meatshaq
mairi nigalya ponya (sony corporation and etc) drawn by lamm
princess ember (sony interactive entertainment and etc) drawn by verona7881
bea santello, germ warfare, gregg lee, and mae borowski (sony interactive entertainment and etc) drawn by xplaysx
(There's a lot of Sony examples due to its high priority and tendency to show up if there's a single Sony product)
esix (origin (electronic arts) and etc) drawn by presto_(artist) (oh, so characters drop the suffixes but artists don't)
esix (patreon and etc) drawn by maypul syrup
(e621 has an even lower priority than digimon)
esix (modnation_racers and etc) drawn by unknown artist
detective pikachu (furaffinity and etc) drawn by burgerkiss
isabelle (xbox game studios and etc) drawn by wizardlywalrusking
kris, ralsei, and susie (xbox game studios and etc) drawn by skellyanon

I'm mostly just wondering why do this at all? It's far too close to the character_(owner) character format when you drop the character suffixes, and copyright tag order seems like it's arbitrarily based on some hidden code somewhere.
It tastes like it's meant to be for a utopia where every character owner has their own copyright tag, or for a world where crossover art and OCs don't exist.

Can we have our text formatting shortcuts back yet?
