Reposts aren’t just because of karma whoring. It can be a crosspost or someone saw it and just thought it was funny and wanted to share it to a community they liked.
Do you not know of the internet repost database? It’s a repository of all posts ever made to every website. You’re supposed to go to it every time you want to post something.
It’s over here… In my basement. It also has cookies.

I don’t see the point of having reposts here, not like there’s visible karma or anything.
Also, I loved you in that thing!

You may also be one of the first 10,000 today too.

Or simply because not everyone sees every single post and knows it’s a repost…

Where did you find it in the first place?

Very true. Maybe it’s better to say that I don’t think repost are a problem here yet, and I don’t expect it to be due to the lack of visible karma.
