Gets more views when it's a picture link instead of a site link, so that would explain the first bit. Definitely agree that you should provide sauce with the image.

Because they know that reddit is a bunch of tools for imgur and will immediately click a link to a pic posted there, where they will not click a link with the same content/title if it leads to somewhere else.

Because redditors jizz their pants at the site of an imgur link. Makes getting upvotes easy and fun!

[–]jordanlund 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A couple of reasons:

1) The site link has already been posted, even if it's with a different cartoon this can sometimes prevent the image from working.

2) OP used to be accused of blogspam for posting a direct link.

3) They don't know where it's from.

[–]TheLivingEnd 0 points1 point ago

Submission which are identical save that one is hosted on imgur, one on its original site, will get radically different amounts of exposure from Reddit.

Reddit loves imgur links. It's kind of tragic.

[–]TL_DRespect 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think there's an element that a lot of servers can't handle the Reddit traffic. This doesn't count for big boys like Penny Arcade, but for smaller comics it's a definite concern.

Credit to the original website should be posted though.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

[–]notJebBush 0 points1 point ago

Because reddit has nice feature which blocks reposts. I found out when I tried to submit a comic someone had already posted.

So to subvert it you post the same comic with an imgur link.

Web comic artists practically give away their art online for free in exchange for greater circulation and possible merchandise/commission sales. They're just trying to make a living!

Do everyone a favor and:

If you put it on imgur, add the source url to the image or just link it!

or

Just link directly to the source!

[–]Sacharified 2 points3 points ago

To be fair, its not like the image is always given with a source. He might have found it on 4chan or re-hosted elsewhere.

That's because someone compressed it from PNG to JPEG, most likely as part of some machiavellian ruse to topple Nedroid from its heights on Webcomic Mountain.

You have a valid point, Arienrhod probably acted upon the genuine sentiment of wanting to share this great comic they just happened to come across somewhere other than nedroid.com. It happens all the time.

But in this instance, I sincerely doubt it. Just try typing the OP's title into Google "C'mon Jeffy make daddy proud"...

See all those links to reddit and nedroid?

Arienrhod is either lazy, disingenuous, or hoping rake in some karma with an obvious re-post.

It's 2011, finding original sources and minding the treatment of intellectual property shouldn't be that difficult.

As long as they credit the source, I don't care if anyone re-posts this comic every hour of every day, for the rest of their lives.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Until Japan and Libya happened, even with Egypt and Tunisia going on, there was still plenty of coverage of the ever increasing numbers of drone strikes in Swat. There was even a huge protest in Pakistan over a CIA operative purportedly getting away with manslaughter and a Pakistani general made a first-ever denouncement of the drone strikes. Just cuz you forgot about bin Laden while Charlie Sheen was winning, doesn't mean everyone did. Now I'm no hawk on foreign adventurism, but I'm very glad that there are lots of people very focused on real issues in the world, even if cableTV or even the internetz aren't "front-paging" them.

It's a possibility, but the people, like yourself, who claim to know it with certainty, are fucking idiots.

[–]meefozio 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Whatever you do, don't look into the situation. You may discover for certain that he's dead, too. Then you'll be a "fucking idiot" like the rest of us. The status quo will reject you. Your life will be scary as you're not longer accepted. You're not nearly strong enough for this. You'll cower and cry in the corner. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOOK INTO THE SITUATION.

[–]foebea 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Massive difference between looking into the situation and leaping to conclusions. Claimant should provided evidence of presented position.

Mr. Serpent Jaguar may have more calmly substituted the phrase 'are fucking idiots' with 'are not being rational'. His confrontation would have been less combative and perhaps would have been a more comfortable engagement for meaningful debate.

[–]meefozio 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If the claimant needs to provide evidence of his position, then so does his opposition. Being hunted by the most powerful organization in the world while being desperately ill, reported dead by multiple sources, unseen the entire time and having many impostors brought up by those who gain by having him as an enemy for 10 years is enough to render any assumption about his being alive folly. Is it not rational to have Bin Laden being alive as your default position.

[–]foebea -1 points0 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

One who proposes such a claim as this would need to provide the proof. Those who are not making that claim do not need to prove anything, it is on them simply to accept or reject it based on any provided information. If they however claimed that they know osama is still alive, they would need to provide evidence of their position.

edit: I don't have any assumption of his state, but am open to taking one given good intel. It seems to me all we have are assumptions and headlines put up by inherently biased sources. I think it likely that we may never with certainty know if he is alive or dead.

[–]meefozio 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're using the same tactic as serpentjaguar. I submit that you are afraid of the ramifications of knowing that he is dead. Researching it for yourself and learning of his death will have dire consequences on your emotional and psychological well-being. To allow yourself to go down this path will obliterate the foundation of your worldview and it will be extremely discomforting and ostracizing.

Now, because you want to consider yourself an intelligent person, you realize that the old, default position of assuming Bin Laden is alive has become very unlikely and irrational. The safe thought of him hanging out in a secret cave somewhere in the mountains is no longer an option for you. But at the same time, you cannot adopt the position shared by the tinfoil hat crowd because they are seen as "fucking idiots." You refuse to look into the case already knowing you won't be happy with what you find, so your only safe haven is unknowledge.

You are forced to conclude that the truth is unknowable, and now you can safely move on.

[–]foebea -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I put forth that if evidence is lacking in substance, a conclusion can not be drawn. If you have uncovered a new set of facts which have not already been refuted a thousand times, please provide it.

[–]meefozio 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hard, substantial evidence is not always available. We base much of our lives off conclusions drawn from purely circumstantial evidence. We do this by weighing possibilities.

[–]serpentjaguar -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But I'm not making a claim. I no more claimed that he's alive than I did that he's dead. If my claim is anything, it's this; you don't know. You are the one claiming that he's dead, and as such, you are the one who needs to provide conclusive evidence.

[–]serpentjaguar -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Mr. Serpent Jaguar may have more calmly substituted the phrase 'are fucking idiots' with 'are not being rational'

This is absolutely true. My only excuse is that the amount of sheer idiocy that piles up around here sometimes causes me, out of exasperation, to use stronger language than is necessary.

[–]serpentjaguar -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have looked into the situation and what I've found is that although there are a variety of theories regarding OBL's fate and whereabouts, none are conclusive. This means that while some of us might suspect that he's dead and has been for some time, we don't actually know for sure. If anyone other than his close associates does know the truth of the matter with certainty, it's the ISI, and guess what? They have zero incentive to spill the beans because it's one of their trump cards.

[–]meefozio 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

After considering everything I could find on the subject, suppose I had to make a bet on whether or not he's dead. I think I'd wager 99% of my money that he's dead and 1% that he's alive (don't want to be absolutely broke if it turns out Sky Ghost came down from the clouds, resurrected him and then hid him inside Mount Doom).

It sounds like you'd wager 50/50 so you wouldn't lose a dime. Would you place a meaningful bet on whether or not you're actually plugged into the matrix right now?

Just fun questions :-)

[–]serpentjaguar 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It sounds like you'd wager 50/50 so you wouldn't lose a dime.

Not at all. You need to work on your critical thinking skills. Based on what I've written above, the only thing you can know about what I think is that I believe OBL's alive/dead status is unknown. I've said absolutely nothing whatsoever about what I suspect to be his status.

So I'll do you a favor and let you know what I really suspect to be the case. Basically, I think he's either alive, or that if he's dead, the CIA doesn't know about it. I also, as stated above, believe that the ISI does know pretty much exactly where he is and what he is doing (whether moldering in his grave, or nursing his health) and that they also know exactly where Zawahiri is and what he's up to, and that if they aren't in exactly the same location, they are close and are talking to one another when they can. I also don't rule out the possibility that the heavily Pashtun ISI has them both under close house arrest as it would give them huge bargaining power with the Pakistani government, the US (CIA), the Taliban and the Saudis, and they don't even have to say that they have them; an implication would be enough to get everyone's attention, though last time I checked, most people seemd to think it was pretty much common knowledge that the ISI is the answer.

Reason I don't think the CIA knows he's dead or where he's at or what's become of him? Simple. I'm a journalist. I've worked in Central Asia and Central and South America for years and have had various run-ins with people who for various reasons I've learned coud hypothetically be CIA. My experience has been that they aren't the nefarious "spooks" Reddit believes in, are usually highly intelligent and dedicated people who believe in doing what's right, and that in any case, the CIA command structure is way too confused and clusterfucked for them to ever pull off a giant smokescreen act on the level of having captured, killed or confirmed-dead OBL, without it leaking out.

Exactly! The point is that we don't know. While it's possible to make a decent argument that he's dead, you can't prove it and stating it as a fact is, accordingly, just plain stupid. I don't know why this is so hard for some people to wrap their heads around.

How is, "would you place a meaningful bet on whether or not you're actually plugged into the matrix right now?" a valid question? As far as I can tell, it's the only question you asked. If you somehow imagine that you actually asked another, please point me to it, and we'll talk. Otherwise, stop making shit up.

You need to work on your critical thinking skills because you've 1.) claimed as an absolute fact that which you don't actually know (that OBL is dead), and 2.) because you claimed to know what I think of his alive/dead status when in fact I hadn't said anything other than that it was still unknown.

Get with it, man. This is very basic critical thinking.

Sure, there is a possibility he had a sex change and is also starring in a burlesque show as well.

So, I say it's possible that he's dead, and then you say that it's possible "he had a sex change and is also starring in a burlesque show as well." Since the sex-change and burlesque are vanishingly unlikely, are you trying to say that he's not dead? You are either contradicting yourself, or badly confused in your use of language. Pick one.

Hanging out with the Bushes, where else. His actions paved the way for the Iraq and Afghanistan war adjenda that has and is bolstering the price of oil to new levels. Netting the Bushies billions in more revenue. Prescott would be proud.

Bin Laden jokes? Seriously, that's such a tired subject for a joke. You might as well be making Monica Lewinski jokes. And here I am, thinking that Reddit had higher standards. Sigh
