You know, I was considering unfollowing #askhubski and then insomniasexx went and posted this doozy. However, I still like it's becoming a very banal thing.

Part of the problem with reposts is that everyone wants to be heard. Sure, you can link to a submission that has already been made...but a lot of people would rather just go ahead and keep posting content just so that they can be heard. Why bother contributing to something where the last comment was made 4 days ago when everybody can see what you have to say about instead. Maybe I'm just being cynical though.
