    Reposts aren’t just because of karma whoring. It can be a crosspost or someone saw it and just thought it was funny and wanted to share it to a community they liked.

      Or simply because not everyone sees every single post and knows it’s a repost…

        Do you not know of the internet repost database? It’s a repository of all posts ever made to every website. You’re supposed to go to it every time you want to post something.

        It’s over here… In my basement. It also has cookies.

          So you’re saying you want me to come over to your basement, eat cookies and browse memes? I’m in.

      Very true. Maybe it’s better to say that I don’t think repost are a problem here yet, and I don’t expect it to be due to the lack of visible karma.
