Sounds pretty spot on. He's a nice dude and doesn't really deserve the hate. I'm honestly just shocked at the amount he posts. It's absolutely bonkers. I was sure that it was more than one person due to the sheer volume of posts in one hour. But he assured me he was one man.

Cheers u/N8theGr8, that was fun to read through while being quite on point. In the simplest way.

I believe that any exposure will get you butthurt, as human beings work in a way that exteriorize their negativity onto their surroundings. Be it a wife, a kid, a husband, a pet, a co-worker, or an anonymous online active user.

Then again when missing to credit the original source it does count as a dick move, but I try to source most my submissions, reddit sources everything else, and at the end of the day anything you drop online will ripple all over.

At least one of these was banned for posting a picture of him without his consent.

Can you confirm if this is true u/GallowBoob?

What i really wonder: where the hell do you get all of your stuff? To me it looks like when reddit stuff just gets copied to 9gag, but you seem at the top of the chain.

While you're here, can you explain why you do this? It's just insane to see the amount of the stuff you post daily...

How would someone even have a picture of him to begin with?

My main problem with him is that i'm subscribed to ALOT of subreddits and with him crossposting so often i'll end up seeing the same thing like 3-4 times. It gets very old very quick. It's also odd that he treats it like a job. It's constant posting and there is no clear endgame for it. I fear that it may end up like unidan situation because there is no way his posts can be that popular.

I am of the opinion that if it gets upvoted, then the content is something that has value in some way

My immediate reaction to this is that the proliferation of material which panders to the lowest common denominator drags us all down as a community/society and that is what comprises the majority of u/GallowBoob's posts.
