Adding a bit of context to the post, as well as credit to the original artist would help. Kind of like a regular Neatorama post. It's more difficult for a post to be frontpaged if it only has an image/YouTube embed.
It's the convenience, of course. Having a personal printer means that I don't have to run out in the middle of the night to print that one piece of paper I must have.
Old me: oh, the upkeep! Living in a castle would be a nightmare!
