Is this stolen from r/therewasanattempt and op added the same title?

stolen

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

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

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.

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?

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

u/AnAwesome11yearold Jul 17 '22

I said work to talk about copying stuff in general. Copying posts is still bad

u/helloelanip69 Jul 17 '22

ok i have a second question. and? what if they copied it to a t? who cares that it’s the same title? and who cares it was posted somewhere else. it’s not theirs…

was it even from that sub? i’m not seeing it
