Rant incoming: I cannot tell you how many times I've tried to create a meme and the stock image has the logo all over it. Search for anything on google images (spaceship, boat, man smiling, etc) and you will get a ton of stock images with the stock image stamp of annoyance on it. /rant
I .... Don't see the problem with the stamp or watermark... That's kinda the point for me to be honest.
These pictures weren't made for me, but I'll use them to do what I want with them
It's fine if it's not an issue for you. But for me, if I'm creating something, I want the image itself to look as clean and HD as possible. For a lot of my memes, the joke is in the image editing itself.
But all that is just my personal preference for my shit. The rant wasn't meant as an attack
If it's that big a deal you can always go pay to license the image.
