I don't know if this is related to piracy or not, but is there is a list of resources that is watermark free?

Movies, videos, games, sites or webcomics.

I can't think of a list, but outside of webcomics, I have never encountered a watermark in the media you have listed. Movies/videos would require someone actually sitting down with editing software, being somewhat competent, and time. Games? Nigh impossible.

I guess what I'm getting at is in order for people to be helpful here, you need to be more specific.

Games? Nigh impossible.

Decades ago DOS games had custom intro animations but that's not really relevant for current games.

I did not get you, how I could be more specific?

A more useful angle would be something like "This has a watermark and I don't like that. Is there a version somewhere that doesn't have one?"

I am not looking for a temporary solution, but rather a permanent one.

For AI training? Or why would someone specifically pay attention to watermarks? I believe there are curated datasets out there. And watermark detectors to weed out watermarked pictures from a pile of data. I don't think the general public sorts by presence of watermarks...
And I'm not sure about games and webcomics. They all have some logo somewhere, because they've been made by someone. If you don't want that, you're looking for white-label products. I think in the realm of privacy, and those product types, that's a small to non-existent niche.

I just don't like seeing logos at the stuff I use, so I was looking for anyone who might had a list of resources of watermark free products.

I know that it's a minor inconvenience for most people, but I prefer it this way.

Thank you for your comment:)

What is the videos and games are you seeing water marks in?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Almost most YouTube/Social Media videos have watermark of the creator.

For games every game really have watermarks, I really can't think of any game that has no watermark, from mobile games to PC and console games.

What do you consider a watermark? I've never heard of a game on any system with the name of the game or the publisher visible constantly.
