Ok so apparently I’m the asshole, I posted a picture asking about graffiti art in the city and the first response I got was only a link to a store without any context

So I’m the ass hole for questioning it

The person responded with the artist's website which happens to be a store, which is generally common of all artists since selling their art is literally how they make a living. It was the easiest way for you to figure out what the artwork was and where it came from. Not everyone is famous and has a Wikipedia page. Wtf? This is the weirdest thing I've seen someone get angry about on Reddit. Just admit you are overreacting, learn from this experience, grow as a person, and move on.

It was a link to a store, that was the only response

It could’ve said “the artist is THIS and this is the Store”

A person sending a link to a store could’ve been anything, it could be a bot trying to steal that person’s work from the actual artist.

When a completely anonymous, random thing on the internet sends you to a site to buy something, do you always do it without question?

If I asked the question you asked and someone responded with a link to the artists storefront? I would have responded and said, "cool, thanks!" and it would have been the most boring reddit exchange on the planet.

Take the L man. Seriously. It's ok. Reddit is anonymous. You can still go out in public without people knowing you might be the dumbest person alive.

Yeah it’s hard to argue against actual logic, as you’re well aware

How many times a day does your wife say that? If she’s still around?

Is she still around? Lol, have you confused my post history with someone else’s or would you like to elaborate?

Dunno about the rest, but if you click on the link, that artwork is literally on display on the banner. Are you able to put 2 & 2 together?

So this is the confusion

I posted a picture of that Art, I asked what it was and if anyone knew why it’s all over the city

If you look at the post history, the very first response was a link to a store with no other context but a link to A store

I feel somewhat concerned when I post something and the first response is to a store without any context

And responded to everyone since then and people don’t like that I don’t like the first response to be a store without context

Everyone knows the first response was a link to a store. You said it ten times. It's also the first website that comes up when you search the artist's name. Bro took two seconds googling the dudes name, sent you the first website that came up, and went on with his night, not thinking about you or this artist again. Yet here you are still angry about it.

Spend your energy on something else for the love of God.

How would I have known the artists’ name? I posted a picture and asked a question?

You aren't supposed to know the artist's name. But the person who answered your question spent two seconds googling the artist's name and subsequently shared the first website that came up without even realizing it was a fucking store. Move on.

Shouldn’t know his name? The name that is included In the store website? The first post? It’ll be impossible to figure out his name!
