A post like this is not guaranteed to be by a bad actor, but it is a major red flag and I suggest good actors avoid it or otherwise make their intentions expressly clear if they were to make posts like it. Typically, spam bot accounts would have new and/or barren profiles, or may have bot-like post and comment history such as LLM generated text or two-dimensional “personalities” and interests. I mentioned the choice of medium as something for users to think about as a loose heuristic for critically examining the content that they consume.

Your comment is true for most other online fora and social media. If I remember correctly, comments do not bring posts upward in the Hot feed in the Threadiverse. Engagement bait for clout is limited to just “Upvote if…” posts. If you don’t like a post here, downvoting is the most effective way to disadvantage it from being seen. It takes only a minute or two for someone to search for an uncensored image or to manually retype the words before posting a tacky censored version.

117 upvotes condemning the censorship but only 17 downvotes on the censorship. 100 people are either experiencing cognitive dissonance or they don’t realize that downvoting is a way to discourage bad content here.

It’s kind of an ad. More so a scam. Like on Reddit, bot accounts will post an image of a product such as a t-shirt, a coffee mug, various tchotchkes, etc., then they will post a scam link in the post description, in their user profile, or most often in the comments, especially after an unwitting real user or an associated bot account lauds the products in a comment. This is an example method of drop ship scamming. One thing to notice about the image in this post is that it doesn’t need to be on a t-shirt — the t-shirt is the “product”, if you were to even get a package delivered from the so-called store. The Threadiverse needs to wisen up to spam and scam methods or else it will become as bot infested as Reddit, which many people left because of the bot infection.

Back in the day, many subreddits would have rules against posting images of t-shirts to block spam bots such as these. There is a lot that the Threadiverse ought to learn from both where Reddit struggled in the past and from where Reddit is failing currently.

I think Heathcliff should be his successor. His superior comics have lived in the fat cat’s shadow for far too long.

Interesting. Does their Facebook page often post infographics made by others and apply their watermark on top regardless?

Thanks. I think that it’s important to be judicious when calling something AI generated because too many false positives will delegitimize true claims and further blur the lines of real and unreal content.

The art did seem off to me, but it fits the style of some textbook diagrams. The number placement doesn’t seem like an error that an AI would make. I was unable to find any results in reverse image searches that were more than a few days old, so given the infamous piss filter on the image, I think the man and dog are AI generated but the text is lazily human placed (I cannot attest to the validity of the scientific claims but it also seems human written to me).
In my research, I looked up the Medinaz watermark on the image. This educational publisher claims that their diagrams are “hand-drawn” and I was unable to find any other images published by them that match this art style, and all of their pages do not match the visual design above. Their infographics also tend to be a bit more campy or silly. Most of their images, but not the text, also have a watermark for Medinaz (sometimes shortened to Naz). Here is an example that could stand on its own as a meme:
Further down the rabbit hole, I found a review accusing them of plagiarizing the text they published for First Aid. I also encountered a full pdf for their Cardiology book, which includes a page with a couple of copyrighted characters (The Queen of Hearts from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, and Thomas the Tank Engine).
Does Medinaz’s track record for disregarding intellectual property indicate that they would be willing to substitute their human artists for AI generated images? Or could they have stolen the image from elsewhere and slapped their watermark on it and published it as their own? Or could a separate party have added Medinaz’s watermark onto an image that they didn’t publish to affront them somehow? If somebody can find a Medinaz book with this image in it, we may have an answer.
