I noticed it was my Reddit birthday, opened my "Cute" folder, arranged by date, and uploaded the 3 oldest pictures. The first one got a response that it was a repost, so I deleted it. I discovered that the second one had also been posted recently, so I deleted that too. This one does not appear to have been posted on Reddit, so I left it up.

From the thumbnail, I thought the turtle had a credible impression of the Me Gusta face on its shell.

And i hadn't seen it and propably wouldn't if it didn't get reposted. When do people realise that reposts aren't 'such' a bad thing, even if they get posted multiple times.

I could look at it seven times and not get tired of it. Reposts are not against the reddit rules -- it's just that some people feel offended if they have seen a thing before. I see things duplicated all the time, but I figure, I spend way too much time here and that's what happens.

I enjoy reddit to look at new things, and every now and then be reminding of something that was posted a long time ago that I forgot about. When you see the exact same post over and over it kinda devalues the whole experience.

It's the whole "I just saw a cool thing, post it now!" Instead of "wow, this is neat, let me do a 30 second search to see if it's been submitted before so I can:

  • Read comments about it
  • See if the other post(s) have a source/more details
  • See if there are similar posts that I would also find interesting

Maybe I should have just linked to all the other submissions and said "more information here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here" and been passive aggressive feigning helpfulness?

I used http://karmadecay.com to see if the image had been posted before, and it indicated that it hadn't. If I search by this page, rather than the image itself, it gives me a single match, and the reddit page for that has a comment that the image was posted a week before.

Next time I'll try searching by keyword within Reddit rather than using a 3rd party tool, but when I did that in the past I have also failed to find old content identical to what I was uploading.

No worries, I'm glad you searched first and now I feel a little bad for being rude :(.

Also, here's my comment to the first time I saw this photo posted (I have a baby turtle too :D)

No worries! I definitely appreciate new content myself.
