Not a fan of kapwing as they seem to be running a spam campaign on reddit.

Also not fond of hosts that put watermarks on media as it contributes to a kind of bit-rot.



[This is Julia, the OC] We’re not running a spam campaign. Any more info here on what you’re referring to?

We used to make it free to remove the Kapwing watermark, but needed to up our conversion recently to extend runway and fund R&D. Just shot every creative tool in our space leverages watermarks as a conversion lever because it means we can offer most things for free.


I am referring to a recent spate in unusual comments on top posts that link to reaction-image like clips hosted by kapwing.

I'm trying to find some examples, but naturally there's none to be seen as soon as I look.

The comments contain unusual English, perhaps computer generated, and consist of an initial sentence, followed by a quoted hyperlinked sentence linking to kapwing.

I assumed these were an attempt by kapwing, and if that's not the case, I apologise for my accusation.
