That one's credits say
it was stolen from a content stealing site.
I'm always in two minds about such sites - on one hand, they mostly credit now, and truly thieving ebaumsworld cunts are rarer - at least there seems to be some manners now. On the other, the wrong people make the money.
That said, I'm sure many photographers get pissed off with b3ta for using their images without credit, even if they are re-appropriated.

Take your points
But to my mind there's a difference between someone using an image as the basis for a piece of work and posting it on a public forum for sh*ts 'n' giggles, and someone else wholesale lifting a piece of work and actively exploiting it for commercial gain.
...and as the original post demonstrates, even when sites do credit, it's often very lazily done - this one just goes back to another secondary source, buzzfeed are notorious for broken or inaccurate links, etc.
