Adding more of a Neatorama take to the topic could be enough, TBH. Linking and culling the top comments is not doing much. Adding some editorial opinions could tip the scale. 60% regurgitation is too high for me. Thanks for taking me seriously, though. I did actually mean it as a possibly useful reaction for you and appreciate the actual replies.
A) Not angry. B) Not claiming you tried to pass this off as original content. C) If your users want this, fine, knock yourselves out. D) There's no value add here for me. I could have just stopped reading silently, but after a few too many articles that basically say "did you see this on reddit?" with an ad on top, I felt like expressing my disappointment. I know reddit makes money too, I don't begrudge any of you that, but there have been a few too many reposts here of OC from there, as opposed to links to "news" which both sites do. Now you have an audience metric for why some may leave. Good luck.
Created an account just to comment. You know why I read Reddit and not Neatorama? Because this stuff is on Reddit first. You literally changed the title from "Non-Americans of Reddit, what is a dead giveaway that somebody is American?" to "Non-Americans, What Is a Dead Giveaway That Someone Is an American?" and more than 60% of the words in this 'article' are direct quotes from the Reddit thread. But hey, at least you slapped an ad for another novelty salt and pepper shaker up there. How many of those do you need to get rid of, anyway? Disappointed. I'm removing this site from my RSS, it's not worth it.
