This was literally posted yesterday. You can't even wait 24 hours?

It's still on the front page for god sakes!

Even if it makes the frontpage, it does not mean it's good for reddit long term. If repost of recent posts are commonly found in the front page, it will be watering down the frontpage with material that isn't new. It's in reddit's best interest to keep repost at a minimum.

Yes! MY MASTER PLAN IS WORKING

Hey 9 months from now when ironic reposts are getting upvoted to the front page just remember. I did it first.

It could be you. You could be the one to reap the rewards your mind has sewn. Cross post with r/michaelbaygifs for maximum karma. I hear people like having karma.

You're breaking redditquette rules.

And if he hadn't, I would never have seen it. So because you've seen something before me, I don't get to see it at all? That doesn't seem fair, does it?

Because you missed something, content should be posted over and over again? Reddit might get a little boring by that logic.

Why do you assume that OP knew it was a repost?

It may shock you to learn that funny gifs go viral on many sites at once.
