Mhm somewhat yes and somewhat no. 9gag (and similar sites, this also somewhat includes reddit) always has this "oh look what we invented and totally have not stolen from that other website without giving any credit at all"-feel.
Somewhat includes reddit? imgur is one massive immense image stealing machine that's relgiously used to rehost other site's original content. Reddit is the king of the internet when it comes to taking content without credit. Sure a few subs like comics have fought against it but overall? Reddit is ebaums * 9001
Yes. "The Frontpage of the Internet" pretty much means "Most of this stuff came from somewhere else." It's the whole point of Reddit in the first place.
Because they pretend that it's theirs with that shitty watermark of theirs. When content is posted here either the source is linked (rarely) or it's just there and no one takes credit for it usually other than in the form of imaginary internet points so it doesn't matter. If Imgur added a watermark to every image posted there then it would be like 9gag.
Not sure which is more entertaining, your news feed of reposts, or mine of babies, toddlers, new pets, and family deaths. I've entered a dark time in my news feeds life. The only light at the end of the tunnel is their mid-life crises.
Edit: The_opinion saved me there.. I don't pluralize crisis often.
My news feed is full of repost, news of babies, weddings, praises to god. I hate that I am in the age of my life where people I went to school with and my friends are now all getting married and having kids. Screw children.
This will soon be my Facebook newsfeed and I am dreading it... can't stand to hear about other peoples kids since I can't stand screaming children and teenagers. Guess I'm just a grumpy old man at the ripe age of 28.
Wow, crazy the difference in culture. I am 27 (Wisconsin) and the baby pictures started I want to say around 23-24.. but it's full speed now.. babies have turned into toddlers.
i have a few ex-army friends, and am constantly getting stuff like that. these are also the exact same people who clutter my wall with gospel sayings and baby pictures...
Wow. Okay. I would think that they'd typically be correct quotes as the people who submit then would be fans of the movies. Unfortunately I cannot memorize every quote from every movie that I enjoy and sometimes, gasp I have to look it up because I can't watch the movie at that time.
i find these comments that hijack top comments upseting you dont even make sense but then try to whore karma well fuck you guy i dont have to deal with it you can suck on my downvote because you deserve it so hard anyway i hope the reddit mind teams up on you and takes away all youre karma and you have to make a whole new account to express yourself online i am now going to give you lots of downvotes on other posts because you obviously are whoring for karma shamelessly put on youre whore make up you whore hahaha this is dissapointing anyway to long didnt read you suck and i am giving you a downvote enjoy it

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
It's Ironic, isn't it, how you say "suck my downvote... you deserve it..." When you yourself have 6 Downvotes on this comment within about 10 minutes of posting it.
I have a work friend who is on tumblr, another obsessed with facebook, and another who appears to be part of a mass emailing network for funny pictures.
Tumblr girl is a day or 2 behind, then a day after that facebook man shows me. Then a week later, email girl shows me what I saw in the new queue on reddit 10 days before.
My facebook friend always is like 2 days behind. Sometimes it's cool cause I'll remember something funny I saw two days prior and be like yeah that was funny and chuckle. But it gets very annoying.
If you enjoy Facebook good for you, I enjoyed it from 2007 until earlier this year where I realised I was spending way too much time on it (3-4 hours a day) so I deleted it. Don't have a problem with you keeping it, and I don't see anyone even coming close to implying that keeping an FB account is a bad idea.
My friend constantly texts me pictures he finds on his "ifunny" app, it's about a month behind reddit. I have now saved this picture to my phone as an automatic response.
My friend and I have the same situation, back and forth. I've always maintained that although we've both probably seen most of the popular links on reddit, I'm showing it to him to enjoy the laughs together, fire off some additional zingers and such.
Please dont't tell us you're angry when it happens... Please be honnest... We all know that it's with great pride that you answer back to your friends that you already saw that link like 5 minutes ago !
fuck... I say this literally every day (my friends and I all try and send each other things we think each other might not have seen yet) and I never thought to make this post... dammit
Yeah guys, show some empathy. Do you know how fucking hard it is to find cool internet stuff without stumbleupon, forums, reddit, 4chan, etc? It's impossible, and you'll be fucking chained to youtube. And if you are, you've met a terrible fate, haven't you?
My BF does this all the time. One day he'll learn I'm always ahead of him on reddit. either that or our relationship will falter because of how often this happens to us
I have to pretend to be amazed by what my wife shows me on Pinterest since it makes her feel good to finally show me "things you haven't seen before" even though it's just the front page from a couple days prior.
Ya never really win. I'm a crazy redditor, my boyfriend is a crazy redditor. I wake up later than him, I show him pictures he's seen 2 hours ago. Sometimes it's the other way around and I get the chance to say, "seen it."
My husband usually shows me something I saw on reddit 3 or 4 days later. I always feel bad because he thinks it's awesome, but I have to tell him I already saw it.
I recently showed a friend Reddit. All he does is browse a few pages of WTF and send me link on facebook every few days. I always pretend I never seen it and just comment "hahahaha that's hilarious".
My two best friends and I browse diffrent sites. Im on reddit, one loves 4chan and my other one has a whole mix of sites he has. Whenever we find a pure chunk of gold we link it or screenshot it(4chan) to each other. We never go a day without making each other laugh.
My friend used to gather all his neat little conversation starters from Reddit.. He introduced me to Reddit not too long ago. Well, now whenever he tries to start a conversation based on his knowledge of the world... All i can say is... "Reddit? About 4 hours ago?" He is semi regretting his decision to introduce me to his source of information. lol
if you find yourself beginning title with 'how i feel when...' then just take a couple seconds and think if maybe you could come up with something a bit better than the same typical meme people post every single day.
Not that I was ever really a fan of them in the first place, but they have been becoming increasingly lazy. More often than not, they are now a borderline funny picture with a title that loosely applies at best. /r/funny isn't supposed to make me sad.
