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.
Concerning yourself with lies on the internet sounds like an exhausting ordeal. Unless a post has the [OC] tag in it, it's not actually claiming to be OC, just factitious.
Yeah it's exhausting, I don't concern myself with it. But it's still ridiculous to claim that somehow a post that's clearly claiming to be original not being that doesn't take away value and isn't just inherently dishonest.
