reposters
They share again
Reposters are people who share content online that was originally posted by someone else.
The term is neutral but often carries a faintly dismissive tone, implying the reposter contributes nothing original: The comments were full of reposters farming karma.
On platforms like Reddit or Twitter, serial reposters may be criticized for not crediting original creators.
