This is something I've been doing pretty thoughtless for a while now... not sure why I'm just now realizing that it might be an enormous dick move, but here I am. 

Anyway, when I see something that might make for a cool gif on Instagram or some such, I'll occasionally post it on one of the popular subs. I always credit the creator (if possible). A good few of them have hit the front page. And while this is obviously a popularity spike for the person who appears in the gif, it also necessarily generates the kind of attention that a person might not want (like, not everyone wants to go viral, ya know?). I haven't had any complaints thus far, and one person did thank me for the boost, I still have very mixed feelings about the ethics of this practice. Thinking maybe I should quit doing it... or at least ask first, I guess.

AITA?
