Repost? Is it okay?

Today, I had my thought filled with this question. Is reposting okay?

Internet is so much advance and people all around the world can communicate even we are far from each other. You can share info and download this and that from the internet. Are you too lazy to shop? Or you cannot find the things you're looking from? Just surf the internet and shop online. So many things we could do online..

As I mentioned, you can share info to everyone all around the world. What I am doing right now, it's sharing info to you guys :)

Today is about REPOSTING!! Okay let's gooooo....

Do you know what "repost" means?

I google it and come to definition of "repost" from this link

Repost

1. Post (a letter or parcel) for a second or further time.
2. Post (a message, link, image, etc.) to an online location, such as a blog or social media website, for a second or further time

Yes, that is correct. "Repost" is basically you post again someones previous posts. In the world of blog (sound like a fantasy land), people tends to just post back someones posts. If you just read the definition, you probably said "ohh it's okay, isn't it?"

For me, it's not. Because there're people who spend more time just to make sure what he/she post's perfect. I know them and I appreciate them. Because I own another blog in Tumblr, if you have time or curious just click this link. 

The repost-er just post an article or picture or anything and called it their own. I know there're no rules over them. It's internet and it's wild. You cannot control people who read your post. You cannot control people to not repost. Even though there's no rules, at least, you can appreciate them by linking their original post, write down the source, or in Tumblr just REBLOG it :)

Well, is it harsh? to write it in CAPS LOCK and Bold? But it's the reality, you can just click the reblog in Tumblr. write down the source. I think if you just repost it, it's like cheating. And you don't write the source of your answers right?

The bottom line is..

Please do not repost, just reblog or you can write down the source. If you want to be appreciate by others, start by respect and value people work and effort.

I cannot change what people think. They might hate this article and consider it boring, waste of time. Well, sorry guys, you can stop reading when you see the title. Why you read it, if you don't want to. That's silly.

To end this article, there're few words from one of my friend in Tumblr, elsie. Her posts got a lot of repost (not reblog).

What you are doing is reposting when you should be reblogging. When you repost, you are uploading someone else’s work onto your tumblr as your own, and this is wrong. So please take down all the reposts and just reblog from the original source. Thanks, it would be much appreciated. Also, changing your user name doesn’t mean it’s okay.

 Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day. See you ^^
