reposts

Circulates others' content

Reposts are content shared again after its original posting, especially on social media.

Someone sees a meme, video, or article and shares it to their own feed or a different platform.

Reposting spreads content but can annoy those who've seen it before: This is a repost from last week.

The verb repost works the same way: She reposted the video without credit.
