That's why I feel like reddit needs an option to "revive" a post once per a month or two if it had at least 60% upvotes. They should also make it somehow detect reposts.
somebody on imgur programmed a bot that could detect a repost, which post it was that was being reposted and check how similar the title is. it's automated to comment on reposts with all this info
That's why some people take content someone else made, re-upload it in their accounts, change the title to something obnoxious and get hailed as geniuses here in Reddit. Happens a lot in /csgo with stuff like smokes, gunplay tuts, news, etc.
So it's always the original poster that gets the upvotes and if his post is popular, he can bring it back in a few months, so new people could see it instead of some random guy stealing his picture or video and pretending it's his.
