| Dec 11, 2021 at 0:33 | comment | added | Raphael | @IMSoP I wrote the original response as that because I was simply answering the question that was asked. "Question: Is the cover art on this faux paperback graphic "The Omicron Variant" on Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look" borrowed from a real SciFi novel's cover?". It was not my intention to denigrate the artist, nor do I think the term stock image has any intrinsic bad connotation. It's just an image that is available to be licensed. I created stock images myself in the past. | |

The original simply used "stock image" as though that was all the description necessary. To me, its availability as a stock image is secondary to its creation by a single human artist. | |
| Dec 10, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | Remy | @IMSoP I don't see how the poster isn't crediting the artist here or "deliberately ignoring the name of a creative artist", there's a direct link to the page, and a screenshot including the name of the artist. Had those been obfuscated I'd agree. There's no dehumanizing in calling something a stock image, that's just what its called when you license out creative works. | |

Of course there are thousands of people doing vitally important jobs that don't get thanked by name, but other than having a Hollywood-style credit scroll attached to everything, that's not really solvable. I don't think that's a valid excuse to deliberately ignore the name of a creative artist, though. People seem to go out of their way on the internet not to credit artists, and I absolutely hate that. | |

Adding an actual screenshot with the title of the stock image listing.

There's something slightly dehumanising about the phrase "stock image", as though they are bred on a farm somewhere, rather than it being a source of income for artists. | |
