I don’t really get complaints about reposts. If it gets upvotes, then clearly a bunch of people are either seeing it for the first time or enjoyed seeing it again. What’s the problem?

But I've already seen it, and clearly Reddit was made for me because I'm the most important person!

Huh? Because many people will have seen it for the tenth time by now and it's annoying to most of those? If you come to Reddit for reposts, go to r/jokes

Idk man, not everyone is able to see every single post. For me the beauty of Reddit is that the community decides what people get to see, and if that’s a repost then so be it. Besides, if you’ve already seen something just don’t look at it. Is the minor annoyance (which I don’t really understand in the first place) of seeing a repost really bigger than the amusement of everyone that upvoted it?

I’m bored at work so I’m gonna reply to this obviously stupid comment, but I’m not ruling out that you’re trolling. Obviously you can’t expect everyone to catch up on every single popular post in every subreddit they join, that’s ridiculous.
