MemberWhy does the Patreon ad need to be floating all over the place on top of the image?

JanitorThere are a lot of cases where artists watermarks have simply been cropped out and the artwork shared forward.
Additionally even though putting the advertisement more visible does make it more annoying, that does also mean that more users actually notice it rather than just pass by it when it's at the bottom edge.
There's a reason why so many websites do have bigger and more upfront ads running all over the place instead of having them on the side where they wouldn't distract from the actual content you came to look for e.g. news websites, even if they do risk those ads annoying the shit out of you. It's mostly about finding the balance between nasty popups which open up in new tabs and unnoticeable small ads on sides and bottom.
