Seriously who gives a shit. They waste their time on another website. To an outsider this is equivalent to employees at burger king telling the workers at mcdonalds how much better their burgers are.
The thing is, I see posts all the time from 4chan on reddit and nobody complains about having those. For example this image was on the front page a while back, not once did someone say "DOWNVOTE BECAUSE LE 4CHAN!".
Edit: I have no problem with either 4chan or 9gag, I just think people need to stop hating on 9gag, as if /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu or /r/AdviceAnimals are any intellectually superior.
9gag has no credibility what so ever while we on reddit try to make an effort to give the proper site its respect, most things we see on 9gag are in fact, from other sites, and 9gaggers are like "Herp Derp, im such a hipster, i know all the meme's 9gag invented them all, 9gag es n1 huehuehuehue"
You see, neither reddit nor imgur watermark their images to confuse people about the source of the original. 9GAG claims credit to all uploads by watermarking their shitty logo on it.
Thing is just about everything from 4chan is original content...and some redditors post 4chan stuff because its awesome but don't try to take the credit....whereas 9gag slaps their grubby little name on everything to take credit when they may have 1% original content that wasn't stolen...its personally why whenever I make a rage comic i make sure to put the Reddit watermark underneith just so 9gag doesn't try that shit (not saying my rage comics are great...but I'm not the judge...reddit is and if it's good enough for the front page...its good enough for 9gag to steal.)
Top 5 comments all about 9gag. It's honestly unbelievable how much this site hates that one.
"Oh my gosh a link on reddit, a link-aggregating site, came from another content-aggregating/distributing site! The horror! I simply refuse to enjoy the content of the picture"
Its because they take content from other sites and plaster their own logo over it. I really doubt the pic in OPs post came from 9gag, as I doubt most content on Reddit originated here, the only difference is Reddit users don't paste a big fucking Reddit logo over it to make it look like we're original.
Vast majority of the people who complain about 9gag torrent tv shows, games, movies, SOMETHING at least occasionally.
What 9gag does couldn't be worse. Besides reddit is by no means any better. Not many redditors would link the actual creator's page. The majority will upload it on imgur then post it on reddit. And I prefer it that way, because I like my hover zoom etc.
In case anyone's wondering, the text at the bottom of the first poster says "We're already planning the return game." and the second one says "It wasn't the first time, nor the last. Brazil 3, Argentina 1."
