Comment on A blog re-used one of my Reddit posts as a genuine comment on their blog

I have a question. Is the mildly infuriating part for you the part where there is account masquerading as you on the internet, using your words and proliferating data/information essentially in your name?

Or is it that you wanted to deprive the internet at large of whatever advice or information was imparted in that comment and someone else/a bot is reuploading that information without your consent?

Because on the one hand, I agree that using your username and your written comment to validate an account that’s likely a bot account is dodgy and underhanded and messed up.

But on the other hand, if that advice is valuable to other people and the intent was to impart that information to others outside of reddit and this is attempt to attribute it to you, rather than an attempt at plagiarism, I’m not sure I would necessarily agree.

But this is unfortunately one of the downside to putting any comments/information on the internet.
