Reposting is so grrrrrr. I just saw some artist get informed their art was reposted, so I went to stalk on Twitter to go see. And it hurts me so much, bcs the op's twt of the drawing has ~20 likes/5 retweets, and the repost has ~2.3k likes/300+ retweets. Is that not fucking evil?

That's why I will always be so outraged at reposting, so often it ends up that the repost gets way more attention. And yeah they often "credit," (usually in a follow up tweet not on the main repost ofc 🙄) but that does literally no good imo as people will always just up retweeting/liking the repost instead of making the effort to go to the original. Not that people shouldn't credit, bcs its just even worse that way, but idk, it always seemed to me like a bandage on a gaping wound lol

#speaking from the perspective of someone who has had this happen :') #its just painful ig bcs you see people complimenting it #but the praise/attention is not going anywhere meaningful #i just never get the point of reposting. especially art #i would make every effort before just blatanty reposting(not that i ever would repost ofc) #like how is that okay in your mind #like what reaction do those people have when the likes/retweets etc come rolling in? #for work thats not their own? #i get like wanting to show your followers smth you liked #but idk. maybe rtwt if they have a twt??? or just link it??????? #insane behavior to me #as i said seeing the reactions pour in i cant imagine what you feel yknow #cause you cant feel pride. you cant feel gratified. its not your work. what do you get out of it :/ #catie.rambling.txt
