    Not everyone has time to read through all the posts on lemmy.

    Maybe he was watching YouTube and decided to share it here before going to work.

    I’d rather people over share on this platform than not share at all.

    Also, I did not see this post before.

      Not to be that guy but no one expects someone to stumble on earlier posts and thus not repost them. But you can quite easily search for them before reposting the exact same thing. One requires luck the other requires care. It’s similar to not asking for support with an issue that’s already been discussed in a separate users question.

        That doesn’t matter. I never saw the post before, so I would never have seen it if it were not for the repost.

        I’m sure in not the only one.

          Statistically sure but then it’s on the algorithm to recommend stuff that interests you more. Reposting things is just spoofing the recommendation algorithm and making things more likely to bubble up to you which is always going to cut both ways. Some people want duplication, others don’t.

        You know if people care about reposts so much then maybe lemmy should check for you before you post.
