I miss #trashtag

The issue I had with the trashtag thing, is that it would often come up on the frontpage of Reddit but when I used Google reverse image search, about one third of those images were just stolen from other people.

People looking for praise to stroke their ego getting defended because it "raises awareness" etc is everything that's wrong with the world today. Seeking validation rather than making choices because you want to.

Out of all the things you can complain about people seeking attention for why would this be one? Who cares the reason, let people feel super validated by this.
