reposting
Recycling online content
Reposting is sharing content on social media that was previously posted, either by yourself or someone else.
The practice ranges from legitimate sharing—spreading news or amplifying voices—to low-effort recycling of popular content for engagement: He's always reposting memes from three years ago.
On some platforms, reposting has a native function (retweet, reblog); on others it requires manual copying or screenshots.
