      As much as I consume memes, I’m surprised at how often I see something for the first time that everyone seems to have seen before…

        Whenever I see these ‘repost’ complaints it feels exactly like grandpa replying to meme posts on Facebook, “I’ve already seen this one”.

        Just kinda second-hand embarrassing that they think anyone needs to know about that.

          it’s in the same league as calling a joke a lie. The story was made up or the image was photoshopped.

          like, obviously. No shit. suspend your disbelief for a second and enjoy the bit.

        It’s frustrating, and what I hated most about reddit. Like ok, you were online looking at posts at some time when I was not, and many others were and were not, so many people already did or did not see this.

        People need to chill out 🙂

      Reposting doesn’t “bake” anything. Also, who the fuck cares? You’re not owed a constant steam of new content. Just move on if you’ve seen it already.

        It absolutely does. The more times an image is downloaded, then reuploaded to sites, the more times each site’s compression algorithm “bakes” it.

        But also who cares lol.
