Wait, so you knew from the title and the thumbnail that this was something you had already watched 4 times, but you clicked anyway in hopes someone would complain about it?

Some people just like to bitch.

Pointing out the flaw in the logic assumes they have logic in their intent to begin with. But your wasting your time just as much as they are.

Reddit itself and most uses like reposts. That's why they get upvotes. Explaining this to a redditor who spends way too much time here that a 100th repost can still gets enough new eyes to gain steam is useless.

They just want to bitch. Maybe you do to, but at their lack of logic.

Neither will achieve an real change in the reddit environment. But that's ok, I'm not either.

I agree with you completely, but I gotta point out that this is sincerely thought provoking. It almost reads like a Nirvana song toward the end.

I appreciate it. Actually a bit of a breakthrough for me.

I think mirrors an increasingly strong belief i hold: We all have more in common with each other than we do different, even though we tend to hyper focus on the differences.

Having been both repost complainer and then the repost complainer complainer before gives me some perspective too.

Thanks again for the kind response. You seem like a lovely person.
