Technically almost everything on here has Ben a repost (from Reddit anyway)

But that's how all internet sites go, all the content is stolen from somewhere else lmao

Isn't that what a meme is, though? Like, you might change the caption, but a meme is only a meme after it's been shared more than once.

Steal like an artist! Isn’t all art stolen in some way or another?

That said, I hate reposts…but I’m not gonna neg or police anyone for it. I do wish we had a decent system for taming it though. Reddit reposts were out of control.
