Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.

When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.

As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost

Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone

Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity

For me its how quickly people reply to a comment. It used to take hours and now there’s a reply in seconds

The more dumb changes reddit makes, the more people end up here. I love it. I’ve also really been enjoying a bunch of the memes too lol

Technically almost everything on here has Ben a repost (from Reddit anyway)

But that’s how all internet sites go, all the content is stolen from somewhere else lmao

Isn’t that what a meme is, though? Like, you might change the caption, but a meme is only a meme after it’s been shared more than once.

Steal like an artist! Isn’t all art stolen in some way or another?

That said, I hate reposts…but I’m not gonna neg or police anyone for it. I do wish we had a decent system for taming it though. Reddit reposts were out of control.

It’s actually a positive post, I don’t mind reposts. If we’re getting more reposts, the community’s growing, right?
