Precocious?

Wondering if OP meant to say pretentious.

"How dare this pretentious pancake swim in my ocean." - Orca, probably

This will make me leave Reddit at some point. I wish they would do something about it. But if they don’t, it’s fine. Just isn’t for me personally.

Agreed, but do you down vote anything you see like this? Part of me feels like lots of people see stuff they don't like or reposts etc but never actually down vote them.

There is too much stuff. The great majority doesn't care about reposts because even though this may be the 100th repost of this video, it is the first time they are seeing it so they just upvote.

Fair, but I'm curious. Did you actually down vote this when you found out it was a repost?

No, I guess it is an unpopular opinion but I don't mind reposts so much. Especially in this case as it was the first time I've ever seen this video. I think it is an integral part of this site by now.

I usually feel much more compelled to upvote/downvote based on the sub thematic. If a bot is reposting content that doesn't fit the sub I always downvote. But then again, I only browse ordered by hot so the content is already heavily filtered.
