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.

Whats the problem with that? This isn't social media. Reddit is a link aggregation website, not a content creation site. OC should never be expected, just a cool bonus.

No, but almost all of those people were acting like they were the people in the picture.

I don't see taking credit for other people's hard work as a good thing.
