    Reddit reposts are terrible because it’s always bots spamming old, popular content in order to build up karma.

      You reminded me of the main reason why I didn’t like Reddit reposts (it’s been a while). Just as bad were the other bots that took top comments from the earlier posts and put them in verbatim in the repost.

        Damn I had almost forgotten about that. You’d see a top comment that was funny and witty, only for the next comment to point out that it was a bot stealing the comment from the last time the post was made. That place is such a shit hole it’s amazing we put up for it as long as we did.

    100% true. 0% regrets.

    I also react differently to simple things like hugs, drawings, or snacks delivered via faceless corporation versus a child I love.

      Not since July this year. I do remember looking at reposts with disdain when I was there, though.

    A classic is a classic for a reason, but at the same time, if it is not the platform, I can’t call it a repost.

    Perfect for Karma Farming and I don’t mind.

    I’m going to screenshot this and repost this on Lemmy, doing my part to keep their content flowing, and doing my part to reduce pixels with every repost.
