    Agreed. I need a Reddit repost bot like I need a hole in the head. Which means I really don’t need it, in case anyone is wondering.

      I was browsing though that instance and realized I haven’t seen a blatenly fake and terrible post in weeks when I came across one that was titled along the lines of “I love the smell of my vagnina after my boyfriend cums in me”.

      Holy crap the posting quality on Reddit nose dived over the years and I didn’t notice.
