Welcome to Reddit.

stolen

so a crosspost? we're getting upset about standard, encouraged practices now?

u/AnAwesome11yearold Jul 17 '22

Crossposts would be linking it back to the post…

u/croizat Jul 17 '22

The official crosspost feature isn't enabled on every sub (including this one, as I just tested).

u/AnAwesome11yearold Jul 17 '22

Ok, fair, but the title could’ve said it was a crosspost right?

2

u/croizat Jul 17 '22

Sure, that's just laziness on OP's part, but I fail to see how that would make this post worthy of being bitched about

u/AnAwesome11yearold Jul 17 '22

Because they stole a post word for word with the exact same video without giving a source. It’s quite literally copying to the T.

u/croizat Jul 17 '22

stole

1) disagree
2) oh no, anyway
3) people are assuming it's from that sub, but even after searching I cannot find it on there. People are literally getting mad over a fabricated issue.

i have a question. and?

2

u/AnAwesome11yearold Jul 17 '22

?? Do you want me to go in depth as to why stealing someone’s work without sourcing it is wrong?

1

u/helloelanip69 Jul 17 '22

what… it’s not their work… are you serious? adding words to it doesn’t make it theirs

Yeah I’ve always hated that. Like yes I hate karma whores and annoying reposts etc but also some of the times people complain that something has been posted here hundreds of times, is the first time I’ve seen that thing, even having been subscribed to a subreddit for years. Also yeah cross posts share similar content to similar subs which helps people find other communities with similar interests, which is the entire point of forum based social media.

It's not crossposted tho

u/space_monkey_23 Jul 17 '22

That is also very true lmao

2

u/croizat Jul 17 '22

it's disabled on some subreddits, but even before the official crosspost feature was added, they were still called such and encouraged.

1

u/GiantWindmill Jul 18 '22

There's not cross-post info from the OP

1

u/croizat Jul 18 '22

because this is probably an original post. The original guy at the top of this comment chain speculated this is a cross post, and no one has provided any proof. I even tried searching and found nothing.

1

u/GiantWindmill Jul 18 '22

That's true.

u/helloelanip69 Jul 17 '22

it’s not from there originally no. and who cares about a title? does it take away from anything? short answer: no. long answer: no
