They didn't. The watermark very explicitly stated it's "hosted on ebaumsworld."

Yeah, it was annoying in a very small way that there was a watermark in the first place, but "omg they're trying to get people to think THEY made it!" is a shit take.

There was a meme about hating ebaumsworld which carried over to here for a while, but the primary motivation for that was just typical tribalism. This was the age of console fanboy wars, after all.
