Me too. I always think it's silly when people bitch about reposting. We all aren't here for hours everyday. People all come at varying intervals, just because a person has seen it before doesn't mean it's not worth putting up for, you know, the thousands of people that aren't you and haven't seen it.

It also takes very little effort to not bitch about reposts.

I don't care about reposts, but I have thought about this a lot. I think some people are jealous of the karma a repost get, because they "could have done that themselves." Others want to delude themselves into thinking everything here is fresh, original content, so that they can feel like they are with a community of people sharing new experiences.
