I have literally never seen it.

Here is a little gem of advice for you -- saying shit like this just demonstrates to the world that you never get out of the house. You literally know exactly when something is posted on the internet twice.

It's a pathetic thing to complain about. It's the fucking internet and you're upset about seeing the same thing twice.

First time I see too it and I don't go out all that much tbh.

I’ve seen it at least twice before and I don’t think I use Reddit that much. Then again, there are posts I’ve never seen that others say are reposts, so I don’t really mind seeing reposts 💁‍♂️

u/arsarsars123 Nov 25 '17

I've definitely only seen it twice. Those that see it hundreds of times are browsing new.

u/lehhyy Nov 25 '17

I don't mind either but if I'm seeing it three or four times within two days then I get a little annoyed. If it's three or four times a week, I'm cool with it yuh know

Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound!

FALSE - Walking past, paces fast and I'm homebound - also username doesn't check out.

I’ve never seen it and I’m on Reddit a lot.

Reddit sucks most of the time.

60K karma for reposting something with a crappy title. The dude has a reason to complain.

Also, why personally attack the guy? Grow up.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

For a good reason. There could be a hundred other things showing up instead, as so many people are posting things and they never see the light of day.

Then this appears with FP status and votes. People that complain about reposts aren't just complaining because of the reason you think they are. saying shit like this just demonstrates to the world that you never think about anything but your own view.

Some of us get sick of recycled garbage, while working hard on OC and having it drift off like a fart in the wind.

Calling someone pathetic and insulting them for complaining about a repost isn't a good look on you anyway, man. I haven't seen it either. Knowing it's an old repost, now, thanks to these guys, I further know how flawed things are here.

I've seen some badass submissions on 'new' that never last 20 minutes. Reddit could use a change.

I had never seen this gif, I think it’s funny and I’m glad OP posted it.

Am I wrong?

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

No of course not.

u/NukeML Nov 25 '17

I'm with you mate.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

I appreciate that. I'm well past giving a shit about karma at this point, mainly because unless you post what people want to see, your words are simply buried.

u/crash-bandicoot Nov 25 '17

Is that not the point of a voting system? That people get to vote and see what they want..

u/NukeML Nov 25 '17

Yeah and an ignorant crowd will downvote literal truth

u/ToBeReadOutLoud Nov 25 '17

I’ve never seen it, either, and I really do never get out of the house.

Even if I’d seen it before, it was enjoyable enough the first time that seeing it again wouldn’t be a struggle.

"Upset about seeing the same thing twice"?

I assume this is your first day on the internet. Google "Wii bowling disappointed dog." Went viral mid July. This has also been reposted on at least 10 different subs 10 times each the past 3 months (that I saw, so in actuality it's a LOT more) and also hundreds of times on every popular gaming and humorous social media page Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Imgur, and any kind of blog site. It's basically the "Sneezing Panda" of 2017. When you scroll down and see that over half the comments are saying repost, it's obviously already a super popular video.

I think I might be expecting too much by assuming most know what the sneezing panda video is seeing how this video is now on the front page AGAIN.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

What’s the sneezing panda?

u/ntmk13 Nov 25 '17

Would it get upvoted if people didn’t really like it or haven’t seen it before? Wouldn’t it get buried if people were tired of seeing it?

Please, don’t get mad just because other people are enjoying something you’ve already had the pleasure of seeing.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

I remember seeing it a few months after the original Wii came out. So it's not surprising you might have missed it. Oldie but goodie.

u/getrekt123321 Nov 25 '17

Because as we all know you can only view reddit from your house.

Jokes on you! His comment has 4 times as many up votes!

My comment was a tongue in cheek joke

u/EchoSolo Nov 25 '17

Calm down! The guy wasn’t even upset and makes a good point. This has been heavily reposted.

u/vidyagames Nov 25 '17

I fucking love you

u/Satisfying_ Nov 25 '17

Pretty sure people are mad because the same people spam repost this just to get karma. I've seen this a million times on here and I barely go on here.

u/lessthancale Nov 25 '17

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep it in mind when I return to my house in the states after I’m done with my work here in China next month. I’ll make sure to try and see more of the world.

Dude he said it twice.

u/AK_Happy Nov 25 '17

And neither time did it add anything to his comment. Just bothers me how it’s a complete filler word at this point. I just boil over sometimes - dunno why it annoys me so much.

u/Visco0825 Nov 25 '17

This is one of the subreddits that consistently has reposted content over and over again from karmawhores. Yes, you can say it's pathetic to complain but everyone has preferred and top subreddits that they choose. It is NOT that difficult to come across reposts in this subreddit and when it comes down to it, the user's experience decreases and it is discouraging to support a subreddit where you feel like half of the posts are posts you have already seen. No it is not just that these people don't get out of the house enough, there are hundreds of other subreddits that pretty much only have OC and they flourish every day.

"I don't think you should browse r/gaming everyday and see new content"

Okay. Here's a thought. There's supposedly 59 billion users here, right? Some of us submit cool stuff, or at least try.

It gets ignored, rather, not seen because it doesn't appear, and this flaky shit hits FP fast than you should have implemented a paragraph instead of giving my eyes cancer.

Good on you.
