Right. No one complains when big Twitter accounts go viral more often than small accounts, because it's obvious why. So why the conspiracy-mongering about the same effect on Reddit? Is there any actual evidence that moderatorship confe

This is silly. You don't retain any claims on images just because they include you. Extrapolating this idea leads to absurd conclusions. If I take a photo of a crowd at an NBA game and publish it in a book of NBA photos, should any mem
