    I think it’s more common when communities are newly created, as people want to populate the community with some content to kickstart activity and interest.

    Can’t escape Cory Doctorow’s observation that the internet is “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four”.

    We may be away from those 5 sites, but the behaviours and content from them is very much here.
