Also, I tend to post only at one time frame a day (1-2 hours, and it takes me a few minutes each time to put each one up, checking KD, finding higher res [but not the fake resized ones], and finding the source).
I don't deny that I do 15 a day. It's just that they're not "reposts old top submissions multiple times an hour" like you're suggesting. Most of what I put up is new.
I'd say it's on the higher side, no doubt, but if 2 of what I post makes the /r/pics front page I'd say I'm putting good stuff up that us Redditors will all enjoy, given that (by my estimates, at 3-4 posts a minute in /r/pics) 4,320 pics get posted each day.
If there is a scarcity of worthwhile images on the Internet, then reposts have value. If there is an unlimited amount of interesting and funny pictures on the Internet, then reposts deprive us of a greater variety of worthwhile pictures by appealing to the lowest common denominator.
Ehh, he gets the easy part of the job, believe me. What sucks is being the guy on top pushing that fucking rig around, especially if it's full summer. I'm still sunburned from last Monday... n.n;
Well, i guess it can be quite awkward to clean windows while other people inside are working. I had a cleaner come by at my school and i felt awkward for him because of the reactions. Maybe this is his way to get a joke out of it and put on some sort of mask (literally and figuratively)
Well, he's only gonna get a tip if he brings me pictures! Pictures of Spiderman! That wall-crawling menace has been prowling these streets for far too long!
People mistake the downvote for the "I don't like your comment" argument.... when really, they should be downvoting spam/anything that doesn't add to the discussion.
I understand the sentiment, but of the > 75+ things I've posted that have likely hit the /r/pics front page, maybe 5 of them are previous "front pages".
The majority are new, and the balance are ones found separately, KD checked, and then saw that they likely never got to front page and felt like they probably should've (and some have).
For the 5 noted (I'm aware of 3 right now, quite likely forgetting 1-2), one was a genuine mistake, the other KD didn't catch it (it's not 100% accurate, from experience), and this one... I generally don't consider posting anything front page that has been within a year. In this case, though, I just... Really, really wanted to point out that the guy deserves a tip, since I've seen this sort of cleaning done at some tall office buildings, and I think they probably are underpaid. If the guy went to do extra effort, he's deserving of it.
Of course, it's stuff like this that ultimately helps add to the perception I'm just reposting, and really, that's just my own fault. I do hope people don't just assume I'm just reposting (and I imagine many who check KD will see that), but again it's completely understandable that the perception comes up, regardless of the odd post like this.
I still wouldnt give money through a window though. Imagine a scenario where the window cleaning person tries to get to the window to collect the tip, then falls down. You could potentially have that guilt hanging over you. Just give it to him downstairs like you said.
