While perhaps somewhat ironic, this is only because the person who wrote the text elected to self-post it to Reddit itself. If they had posted a link to a blog post or similar (which arguably is kind of what Reddit is for), this wouldn’t be an issue.
- kevincox 6y agoReddit hasn't been about sharing links for some time now. They added image and video hosting and some subreddits disallow linking to third parties. So instead of linking to the source it is all reuploads or screenshots of tweets. It's quite sad actually. Also probably copyright infringement in a huge number of cases. Probably good for reddit though. Now instead of people following the sources they stick around on reddit hoping to see it again.
