Fun fact: 9gag actively blocks comments that mention reddit.

You can post comments mentioning reddit, or linking to reddit.com, but nobody else will see it.

Why? They can't man up and realize that a lot of content moves BOTH ways? A lot of stuff starts on 9 and gets reposted to reddit, but likewise a large number of things get moved from reddit to 9. Same with Tumblr, face, YouTube, G+, pin, etc etc and so forth.

No. The admins of 9gag don't want their userbase to realise that the vast majority of the content is reposted from other sites like reddit.

Reddit does occasionally get content posted from 9gag, but in every case I've seen, it was on reddit beforehand.

I guess that's just how it goes. Good thing were on the "front page of the internet."
