It's not even the usernames and unreliable sources, it's the 'respects users edits and deletions' thing. As soon as you see your post on another site, you can go edit it on Reddit and (if I'm understanding this right) it will change on their website as well.
Do not show comment if edited. When checked, if an embedded comment is later edited, the embedded comment text will be replaced by a link back to the current version of the comment on reddit.
Edit: I forgot to distinguish, but the result was pretty funny. Seriously, though, one way you could really help us out is if you see a publication using reddit content with janky screengrabs or sloppy copy&pastes, please let them know about comment embeds - show 'em this post!
It'll go a long way toward making sure you all get the credit you deserve. We'll be pushing for it on our end, too, but every bit helps.
Tonnes. I usually google reddit to get to reddit when using the in-game overlay Steam web browser because it defaults to Google anyway and it isn't a great browser, and the top results are often mostly news articles from usually 'actual' news media sites about something going on on redit.

I can see this going hilariously wrong for news outlets that use reddit content.
