As if originality was a requirement

I've seen some great new discussions on reposts plenty of times over. And sometimes the repost just happens to be timed perfectly to blow up and be orders of magnitude more popular than the original post. I'm...kinda okay with reposts I guess?

I kinda wish reposts were an actual mechanic, where it's linked to the original like a crossost. Meme variant chains would be cool too, seeing the evolution from the first post.

I don't mind reposts either, but of course seeing the original is always better
