    Repost communities have been tried before, dozens of times. Literally every two weeks some new user comes along, thinks they are the first one to ever think of this idea, writes a bot and trashes all the feeds with whatever that guy thinks is cool.

    People don’t want any content, they want worthwhile content that they can engage with and have meaningful discussions about, not their whole feed spammed full with pure copy paste.


    Imagine you want to sell people on the concept of e-mail. There’s not a lot of messages going around, so you come along and say “People want more e-mails” and start spamming like crazy. “Here’s a hundred cat videos for you! There’s a few dozen chain emails for you! Here, take a few hundred messages from ‘hot singles in your area’!”

    Do you not understand the difference between good organic content and spam?
