  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Funny. Back in the day when Tumblr was big people loved theory crafting for these kinds of things (and those still there probably still do). Interesting to watch capitalism monitize and exploit facets of human life in real time

Actually there is probably some irony referencing the events of a 120 year old story that has been re-made and referenced countless times to describe what is happening here.
