    Reddit reposts are terrible because it’s always bots spamming old, popular content in order to build up karma.

      You reminded me of the main reason why I didn’t like Reddit reposts (it’s been a while). Just as bad were the other bots that took top comments from the earlier posts and put them in verbatim in the repost.

      Not like people doing that for upvotes is better.

      Please stop reposting stuff less than a month old, guys.
