More important is originality…

Lots of people/bots would just take an existing post from Reddit, and repost it. Sometimes to a different sub, sometimes to the same sub.

For most users, it was still “new” because they hadn’t seen it before.

Those accounts are still reposting. There’s more than few that do it here too.

But that OC has been drastically cut down, there’s just a delay in users noticing that there’s fewer and fewer “new” reposts going around.

So reddit doesn’t see a huge decrease in users immediately, but time on site and daily users will continue to decrease
