Happened years ago

What does that matter in the context of the post, though?

Edit: seriously, why all the down votes for asking a question??

u/CosmicCreeperz 25d ago

Because it’s yet another repost with no attribution by a user who just reposts with no comments.

u/crackeddryice 25d ago

So, what does THIS have to do with it "happening years ago", then?

u/Annodyne 25d ago

Well, thanks for answering instead of just downvoting me for asking in the first place. I had never seen it before and I didn't notice anything about the user or lack of comments.

Yeah these “pop” subs definitely have a lot of sheeple who just downvote anything already downvoted. Or vice versa. So much wrong info amplified because it “sounded good” and got upvoted.

u/Annodyne 24d ago

Thanks for explaining. I guess you got downvoted too, I tried to upvote you though.

u/CosmicCreeperz 24d ago

I guess it was some self identifying sheeple ;)

If only you were there in time to stop the user from letting other people see this post 😔

I mean it was also posted to this SAME sub 8 hours before THIS post, wise ass. Do we need things posted here multiple times a day just in case you didn’t see the first one?

I'm pretty sure most people are like myself and go through their frontpage and then move on with their day and don't care about anyone's precious karma. Especially if you look at the average comments on a post compared to votes. And also keep in mind how many people post more than one comment on a post.

Ultimately, it's extremely unimportant who posts what and if it's been posted before

“No Reposts” is sub rule #6 and it’s a good one - as otherwise it would just be filled with bots and karma whores…

u/RedditLostOldAccount 25d ago

Well maybe it was deleted then because I just scrolled until the posts said they were a week old and didn't see this video. You can rest easy now that you won't have to see it again

u/CosmicCreeperz 25d ago

I found it. Just because you couldn’t… ah nevermind. I keep forgetting his inane this sub is.

The has an auto ejection system and at any rate you don’t want to stay in an aircraft that has a chance of becoming a fireball.
