Gah i can't wait to repost this in a month...

[–]FastCarsShootinStars 119 points120 points ago

Why wait a month, when in 15 minutes or less you could save 1500 upvotes or more in karma.

He doesn't need to, there is already a great HD video illustrating his username that I made a while back.

[–]Le-Captain-Obvious 11 points12 points ago

Because I was intrigued. Shoot me. Reddit made me not scared to click risky links. I've been desensitized. However, the dog in that link made me laugh much more than I expected to at what I thought you were linking to.

[–]steelbanana -5 points-4 points ago

Downvoting for linking to your own website. Bad you.

[–]hotshotgfx 1 point2 points ago

Well the time has to be exactly right. One wrong move and you can get a series of downvotes

[–]Roflkopt3r 13 points14 points ago

Real karma harvesting pros go by the shotgun mechanic. Shoot 30-40 posts a day, hope that a couple of them hit. The timing does not matter at all, a lucky hit can happen as early as five hours after the original post (yes, you literally post it as the original post just reached front page and yet there seemingly are people upvoing it).

And don't forget that your titles only have to be as appealing as possible and nothing else. You can be a little girl, a homosexual soldier, a grandmother, a pilot and a security chief at the same time and people in the comments will flame you for beeing such a faking jerk and yet you will reach front page.

You can also create your own content. Park your car next to a fallen tree, take a picture and tell us "how lucky you were". Write yourself a letter "from a fellow redditor" and pin it somewhere in a public space. Bang, instant karma.

[–]funkydopeloven 4 points5 points ago

[–]FlyingPasta 9 points10 points ago

I don't follow.

[–]oa5is 27 points28 points ago

On reposts, Trapped_in_reddit would take the top comment from a previous submission and leave that same comment. I think he only did it 6 or so times but people found out about it and got really pissed off.

[–]JonnyRichter 33 points34 points ago

I missed/miss him. He contributed to the thread. The irony is that people were getting mad at him for reposting comments on reposted threads (and he only did it a few times, like you said). Even more ironic is most jokes on this site are memes; i.e., jokes that have been repeated over and over and over again.

[–]oa5is 13 points14 points ago

The hivemind really sucks sometimes. I'm on reddit a lot more than my history would indicate but I usually don't even go to the comment section because of it.

[–]Omniduro 1 point2 points ago

than my history would indicate

i think i know what you do with your non reddit time.

[–]Thesteelwolf 1 point2 points ago

You are aware that Trapped_in_Reddit posted the parent comment for this thread right?

[–]1zero2two8eight 5 points6 points ago

That's probably why he said missed/miss.

[–]Thatsastupidreason -5 points-4 points ago

Even if he did it once, copying and pasting someone else's comment and passing it off as your own is very cuntish behavior. Therefore the guy is a cunt.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Thatsastupidreason -2 points-1 points ago

I guess I just don't like people getting credit for other peoples work/jokes etc.. It's plagiarism.

[–]Yvugvygichuv 6 points7 points ago

You mean, like a repost?

[–]Thatsastupidreason -1 points0 points ago

A repost is different. Generally people don't claim it to be their own work, just something they found on the Internet they liked and put a link to it. What TiR did was actively seek out high rated comments from other users and put his name to it. Cuntish behavior.

[–]Yvugvygichuv 0 points1 point ago

I know sorry, I was just playing Devils advocate

[–]FlyingPasta -2 points-1 points ago

That's pretty clever..

[–]Spyderbro 10 points11 points ago

TiR is a really big karma whore.

[–]apullin 8 points9 points ago

Well, really it was 'i_repost_old_top_links' who proved that he could place as many links on the front page as he liked. In the two or three days he was around, there were definitely times when he had >5 classic reposts on the front page.

[–]oa5is 3 points4 points ago

/u/_repost_ is still around doing the same thing. i_repost_old_top_links or whatever was shadowbanned for vote fraud.

[–]crnulus 9 points10 points ago

I banish you to the shadow realm!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

IT'S TIME D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!

[–]Deae_Hekate 3 points4 points ago

[–]i_rape_moms 2 points3 points ago

So this confirms the fact that "There's only 2 person on Reddit. You and Karmanaut"?

Geico Gecko turned into a meme? This pleases me.

[–]Tzic 7 points8 points ago

Well he certainly has added alliterative appeal.

[–]ohsothisisreddit 9 points10 points ago

Mhmm, it's got the makings for a most memorable meme

[–]Pretentiousandrich -1 points0 points ago

added alliterative appeal.

I see what you did there.

[–]concoleo 7 points8 points ago

Upvoting because I love that little fuckin' guy.

[–]Marshfellow 11 points12 points ago

You know what gains you even MORE karma? Complaining about reposts. And saying that things don't belong on a subreddit. And complaining about circle jerk. Complaining about circle jerk is the biggest circle jerk there is.

[–]FartingBob 3 points4 points ago

Sometimes you get the rare spherejerk, because 2 dimensions of jerking just doesnt adequately describe how much jerking there was.

[–]ienjoymen -1 points0 points ago

Yes, Ron Paul and athiesim!

[–]deathcat 3 points4 points ago

If you are getting karma from reposts and not from original posts, your posts sucks.

[–]FartingBob 1 point2 points ago

Dont worry, every repost he does you can also jump on the karma train by posting about how its a repost.

[–]dreams2reality[S] 0 points1 point ago

funny thing is I've never re posted anything, in fact this is one of my first attempts at posting period. Decided to no longer be a lurker.

[–]bRabbit81 4 points5 points ago

DAE read this in his voice?

[–]Megusta97987 9 points10 points ago

No, I read it Morgan Freeman's voice.

[–]xarcond 1 point2 points ago

Damn it, now I can't hear the gecko's voice in my head anymore. Morgan Freeman's voice apparently trumps all.

[–]crshirley58 1 point2 points ago

Titty sprinkles.

[–]Schubes17 7 points8 points ago

"I gained a bunch of karma, by bitching about reposts."

[–]Azerothen 4 points5 points ago

Every comments section ever^

[–]TickleTh1sElmo 2 points3 points ago

I'm all for this to be a meme.

[–]ThatIsMyHat 1 point2 points ago

I like this guy. He actually gives advice. It's mostly car insurance related, which isn't super helpful because I don't have a car, but it's still advice.

[–]badgerwhore 1 point2 points ago

He's also an animal, so he's the only meme that is relevant to the title of this subreddit...

[–]teawreckshero 1 point2 points ago

Gah i can't wait to repost this in a month....

[–]RockasaurusRex 1 point2 points ago

The next person to post this is gonna get so much karma.

[–]cbails 1 point2 points ago

Why is something like this on the frontpage. Is this really the 'homepage' of the Internet? The forefront of the creativity of the Internet? Guys, we can do better than this.

[–]2Gates 0 points1 point ago

Especially considering FunnyJunk has this complaint daily.. Not saying it's a bad site, but we don't need the complaints. We need true originality as the front page of the intranets.

[–]cbails 0 points1 point ago

Funny junk.... I mean I guess that's okay

Sorry if that left a bad taste in your mouth. xD

[–]eslagergren 0 points1 point ago

I'm so scared to re-post, though, because Reddit is so fickle. I could (re)post one picture, have it get buried in a flurry of downvotes, and some other guy (TIR) reposts in 10 minutes later and makes it to the front page.

[–]zerounodos 0 points1 point ago

The single, most useful advice this subreddit has given me.

[–]BrainAnthem 0 points1 point ago

[–]wta12 0 points1 point ago

[–]Phlexonance 0 points1 point ago

sadly karma is completely worthless

[–]roadbuzz 0 points1 point ago

Hey, this is not a repost. Get off my frontpage.

[–]sturg1dj 0 points1 point ago

sadly, it seems like this is the direction it usually goes. Look at the movie industry. Sure there are some decent new ideas coming out, but look at all of the remakes and sequels.

[–]malmac 0 points1 point ago

Hell yeah. But then, I got a serious TCM thing going on...those old movies are the bomb.

[–]steelbanana 0 points1 point ago

If I make an accidental repost I get downvoted to hell. I don't think I've ever seen a repost that got a lot of karma.

[–]yhelothere 0 points1 point ago

[–]goofball_jones 0 points1 point ago

You realize that Reddit is dying. Not from the reposts, but from all the fucking idiots crying about reposts. I swear to god, I see more comments about reposts than I do actual reposts.

You crybabies are ruining this site. If you see a repost, shut up about it and move on with your lives.

[–]sensimillion 0 points1 point ago

If this is completely OC then bravo, sir. Have an upvote.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Is this really a big deal to people? I've used Reddit for years. I've seen a handful of reposts. The most I've ever done about it is closed the fucking window and moved on.

[–]malmac 0 points1 point ago

Cannot upvote enough. Reposts are usually the first time for me, what's the big deal?

[–]Iamforserious 0 points1 point ago

Your reputation on the internet is the big deal, malmac.

[–]malmac 1 point2 points ago

That's a frightening thought :/

[–]sarahkay66 0 points1 point ago

Haha. :P

[–]heyitzclint 0 points1 point ago

My highest rated comment (at 24 upvotes) is a gif i've seen maybe 6 times

[–]another30yovirgin 0 points1 point ago

So apparently you're so unoriginal that despite all of the downvotes you get for a repost, it's still more popular that your original content.

[–]ccaslin6 0 points1 point ago

Im going to go on porn tube websites and start complaining about reposts. There seems to be so many and no one says anything. Surprising too because I feel like redditors and porn go hand in hand (no pun intended)

[–]Tyler5476 0 points1 point ago

or you could post pics of your trailer to three different sub reddits and get two of them to the front page. that will take it in.

[–]skm0525 0 points1 point ago

The only thing that gets more karma than reposts are posts hating on reposts

[–]Ceejae 0 points1 point ago

You're missing the key factor.

It was more a matter of switching from mediocre content that is original, to good content that has been posted before.

[–]jackp0t08 0 points1 point ago

In /r/trees the turnaround between an original pic and its reposting is less than a week.

[–]Aspel -1 points0 points ago
