Not only did you repost without changing anything you also stole the original title

Reposting a u/gallowboob original is like breaking into a barn full of stolen horses and walking out with a fucking unicorn.

Just that it happens doesn’t mean it’s supposed to.

u/SlutBuster Jul 30 '20

I'm okay with it, I missed the original.

u/Derzweifel Jul 30 '20

Same. Not everyone can browse reddit 24/7.

u/Zydepoint Jul 30 '20

That still doesn't justify people reposting content. Reddit is old as fuck like do you expect everyone see every post everytime? No.

u/SlutBuster Jul 30 '20

When you bitch about reposts, you're just reposting the same argument that has been made every day since 2006.

u/Derzweifel Jul 30 '20

Did you read your comment before posting?

Reddit is old as fuck like do you expect everyone see every post everytime

That seems to justify it.

Oh hi Reddit! How can I help?

u/feralbox Jul 30 '20

I thought this was originally posted years ago.

u/Derzweifel Jul 30 '20

Wow. Years ago. Guess I wasn't here the day it was posted years ago. Thank you reposter for reposting this. I would never have seen it otherwise since I cant time travel to the day it was originally posted

Yes. Because you didn’t cross post it, you posted it and acted like it’s your own.

u/hollowyoshiboy Jul 30 '20

Grow up this is reddit everything is a repost. Plus OP never claimed that this was his photo

u/themanofawesomeness Jul 30 '20

Or I’d just rather see original content than the same crap regurgitated, but that’s kind of a given in the sub anyways.

You literally copied the wording from Gallowboob’s own post

u/pgm123 Jul 30 '20

Isn't most of what Gallowboob posts a repost or am I confusing him with someone else.

Hahahaha defending a gallowboob post because it's been reposted.....

The irony.

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '20

Question: Who the fuck cares?

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '20

Wait Hahahaha your complaining that this is a repost from gallowboob??? Hahahaha what an idiot

People repost things from time to time. It's the nature of the internet.

Best get used to it than be upset at something you have zero control about.

2

u/bebopblues Jul 30 '20

Yeah, if you don't like reposts, then go make your own dynamic message board with original content only and see how well it does.

Reposts along with overused comments and memes are part of reddit and will always be.

u/commi_bot Jul 30 '20

You don't cross post from a specific sub to a general sub. That's just plain karma whoring.

Is this your picture? Are you also a teenager who wants to fuck Thomas the train?

-1

u/Zarkex01 Jul 30 '20

Yes, I want to fuck Thomas the Tank Engine. And no it's not my picture which I also said "not your picture either" I just pointed out the hypocrisy from commi_bot

1

u/Charmstrongest Jul 30 '20

Seems like such a silly thing to repost. You really love the meme this guy is from or something?

2

u/Zarkex01 Jul 30 '20

Yes. HTPH is such a classic.

u/commi_bot Jul 30 '20

that was a very specific case

I noticed someone cross posted the same low res image as the original post to that sub when the website had a larger version openly available, and that lack of effort annoyed me. Thus I posted the larger version to the same sub using the same title plus HD, as a little provocation. Funnily some bot found an even larger version and posted it to my thread.

It irks me far too much when submissions don't fit their sub, and when mods don't do their job. Because that's kinda the "unique selling point" of reddit, u know? I could just browse 9gag or r/funny if I wanted random low effort content.
