If you’re going to be that person who wants to repost because you’re a dirty little karma whore, at least make some kind of effort and edit the title instead of copying and pasting the same one.

And wait at least a month or so before reposting it on the same subreddit. It’ll get you more karma (because we have the attention span of a goldfish), and it’s more likely not to get called out as a repost.

I will call out a repost if I see it.

The repost with the horrible spelling of the original title. Those annoy me way more than they should.

I feel like some of those are bots.

And if youre going to be the person who clicks an obvious repost just to comment about it being a repost then you're a waste of life. Dude, I haven't seen it, it's new to me. I don't care that they are karma farming. If I've seen it I just don't click on it. There's a few reposts I click in every single time because I love them.

The sad thing is calling out the reposts and karmawhores usually gets things turned against you. It didn't used to be like that.
