People post/repost the classics all the time, why are you tattling this aggressively, lol?

It just needs a [2020] tag.

It's not tattling if it's well against the intended effects of the system.
This is spam. I like to come here and want to contribute new ideas to the discourse here. I expect others to do the same.
Bring us some fresh wine, the freshest you've got!
We want the finest wines available to humanity, and we want them here, and we want them now.
So you don't think there's anything new to be said about this article, by anyone?

We're deluding ourselves if we think we're finding new ideas on what amounts to a faded techbro subreddit. Much of the discussion in tech happens in circles until we start talking about concrete code.

The person who made this post has made 30 submissions in the last 24 hours. That's extreme, regardless of whether this particular one has any merit.
Yeah I'm not interested in that part, that's obviously suspicious behavior that admins will ideally handle. The person I replied to said the content itself was spam and claimed to care about new ideas being shared.

Also, if you're on a website or platform long enough that a repost angers you, go outside. Read a book. Play a game. There is better shit to worry about than how many times a page is linked to on a forum.

Maybe the aggression is due to the frequency. They posted almost 50 articles yesterday alone.
