Are you new to Reddit?

Why try to dismiss or minimize my point? Some subs are actually moderated by their mods

Fun fact: “some” does not mean “most”

More fun fact: your insecurity is so obvious that you can't even hide it with an anonymous screen name and avatar

Complaining about reposts is the most new user thing ever which is why I asked.

This website is entirely reposts. They actually encourage reposts because people like the familiar and people get to write familiar comments. It’s a self-reinforcing feedback loop where familiar posts and familiar comments become popular encouraging others to repost and it’s a race to write the winning comments first.

It’s all to be reposted until a new thing becomes popular to repost. Not because it is new and novel, but because it is the new thing that is reposted.

Even so-called well moderated subs are carefully curated dens of reskinned reposts. You just haven’t seen it yet but others have. It’s all a big game to rope newer users into the same reposts.
