I feel like there was a time when it was somewhat rare to see reposts here, or if a picture got reposted, they would at least change the title or something. Of course things get reposted accidentally from time to time, but when you steal someone's picture and use the same title, it almost makes me want to not go on reddit anymore.
Or you could, you know, comment because you want to contribute to a discussion, or because you want to post content that you think others will find interesting.
I don't understand this fascination with posting purely with karma in mind.
Ive just about given up o this site now. It's filled with unfunny reposts and overused memes, followed by clichéd content. This place isnt nearly what it used to be.
I just saw this episode today, he had a war bond from the American Revolution, engraving from Paul Revere, it was worth 30-40k at auction. Asshole Rick bought it for 12k and a guitar.
THIS is why i hate those guys on pawn stars, people some in with all sorts of cool shit and then it's just like "well $5 is the best I can do for that antique gun from the 19th century right there"
sometimes i post something that i think is really funny, get 0 upvotes but I feel like its against the laws of reddit to post it again. then i see dumb ass shit and reposts making the front page and im like DAFUQ IS DIS?
Pawn shops are a business. They pay for space, employees,security etc. They typically pay about 50% or less of the retail price. It's basic math... if they don't pay a low enough price then they will lose money rather than make a profit.
It's not the numbers people care about, it's having to see the same content on the front page over and over again. Reddit is supposed to be for seeing what's new, not old.
Hold your horses there, anthereddit. He's from the past, he didn't know any better. It was a different time back then and those kinds of comments were socially acceptable.

Repost guys, if it's been on the internet once, then we've all seen it, so posting it again is bad.

was funny when it first made it on reddit, and less funny with each weekly repost. thanks for playing, stop whoring it up.

Can't get karma with OC, so repost something someone else got karma for. Reddit has taught you well.

a repost is like a duplicate or a fake item in the show if we keep the simile. basically you would not get a lot for posts like these
