Most of the time is just karma farming and they don’t give credit to the original author. Most of the time though they still manage to blow up and get karma anyways.
Whe n people repost without the original details like the location where the beautiful photo came from. Especially when I saw the “original” they grabbed it from and didn’t bother to copy the title with the important information. Grinds the gears
It’s the fifty reposts of the same thing in one day, that bothers me.
The basic formula is:
- OC post gets to hot
- Reposts immediately flood every related sub.
- Reposting slowly dies out over a couple of months.
- The post re-emerges a year or more later and the cycle repeats.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the users that are specifically just karma farming. They seem to make up the majority of people who repost.
Because we get tired of seeing the same shit over and over again.
I only get mad when it is reposted multiple times in a day or over a really short period of time. At that point it is just people karma whoring and it’s not really contributing to the site as a whole. It also annoys me when things get posted to every single sub imaginable. How can something by r/oddlysatisfying, r/mildlyinfuriating, r/nextfuckinglevel and 12 other subs at the same time? The answer is normally it was none of the above and the poster is just a whore and that is frustrating.
