I put plenty of effort into heaps of fanart, it gets posted around without my consent quite a lot, and I do not give a sideways flying fuck what people do with it after I've put it up on the internet. Once I've posted it, as far as I care, it belongs to fandom. Fanartists who can't stand their stuff being reposted or used in icons without their express written permission need to get the hell over themselves and recognise that you know what that means? It means people LIKE your stuff. The only reason so many people think this is a "problem" is that most artists, especially ones who post stuff online, are inherently attention whores – I do not hesitate to admit this includes myself. It comes with the "making stuff and then posting it online to show to as many other people at once" territory. So given half the chance to get all self-righteous about something and get everyone to rally to their cause whilst giving them OMG YOU POOR THING backpatting about the fact that someone didn't link back to their webpage to give them more fame ... why aren't they going to jump on that bandwagon. So nearly all fanartists act like that and all their grovelly fans get all bitchy at anyone who doesn't treat the fanart as if the right of the fanartist to get as popular as possible off it is so HUGELY IMPORTANT. Fanartists need to calm down – they can't argue any copyright issues because they don't own anything and the legality is dubious, and a real artist knows the real worth of creating is in the creating itself, not in milking the product for all the hits and praise they can get. Yeah, I whore my fanart around no end because I do like feedback, but the fact is no amount of comments can compare to the satisfaction of finishing a piece I like.
tl;dr
Fanartists who kick up a fuss about this shit need to get over themselves. It's just fanart. We're supposed to be drawing it for fun, and if hits matter so much to someone that they're going to take their stuff down if people don't go out of their way to give them more, then dude, watch me have no respect for them as an artist. Or really as a person cause whatever way you look at it that's just dumb.
