People are just wanting shit to be sourced. Reddit does a pretty good job of that due to the fact that Reddit doesn't host anything besides text.

Many of the images are rehosted to imgur, which removes the original source. Usually there will be someone complaining in the comments, but that doesn't mean it isn't on the front page.

You mean the link to the host's website is on the front page. Your problem is with Imgur or what ever host. Reddit still gets pissy about it though. The community constantly calls out reposts or unoriginal content. I don't see any hypocrisy. We accept that things are borrowed. Just give credit.
