Except they don’t say who the author is. If you want to help the author spread their work, saying who it is would help people find their work. Providing a link to the original would be the next step beyond. So it is like keeping the money as a business owner, but saying that it’s all thanks to your wonderful employees. Or throwing them a pizza party for the record breaking profits they made that year.
You see this a lot with reposted art. A repost on a Twitter account that does nothing but repost art? 10k likes, no mention of who the original artist is. The original piece on the artist’s Twitter account? 127 likes.
Yeah okay but that artist is a Nazi apologist so I don’t really care about their art being stolen. They could use a less fascist platform like Deviantart, Patreon, or Mastodon. Plus Deviantart has actual processes in place to protect copyright by submitting a DMCA request from within their site. This is a self-inflicted problem which wouldn’t have happened if the artist had been more socially conscious.

I agree that it’s bad. .just not that it is worse than nothing.
