If anything, shouldn't it be encouraged, and even automated? I'm including even the 'old' stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn't be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn't because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don't get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.

Because it's basically saying that you're so dull or lazy or unimaginative that you can't even manage to come up with a post of your own, and so pathetic and needy that you're just going to copy someone else's.

Or you enjoyed a post and thought others might as well. I was picturing memes, not shower thoughts for posts, so that was a little jarring to read
