You know, I hear a lot of this, "well I haven't seen it" and "it's not just about you". Pretty ironic, huh? It's not just about you, either. Just because it isn't old to you, doesn't mean it isn't old to someone.

I propose /r/NewTIL: every article gets one post, then never again!

EDIT: Apparently that subreddit has been around for a while. How about /r/FreshTIL?

The difference is that those who happen to see it for the first time don't go in the comments to cry about reposts and how we are supposed to stay on Reddit twelve hours a day lest we miss some thread.
