[ SOCIAL MEDIA ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]
Sharing content — an image, joke, or post — that's already circulated before, whether the reposter knows it's old or not, distinct from crossposting your own content to a new community.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"This is a repost from at least two years ago, just with the caption reworded."
LORE & ORIGIN
A recurring point of friction in content-heavy communities once proven-popular content started getting reshared repeatedly, sometimes without crediting or even realizing the original source.
