I came across it already as a screenshot. Took me literally 30 sec to pull up. If it seems legit and all the identifying info is there then the person asking for sauce can go find it for themselves if they're that goddamn interested.
People ask for sauce about 10% of the time. If I had to go out and hunt it up for every single one 90% of that effort would be wasted.
And that's after it meets my own criteria. If it looks dodgy I'll take the initiative to hunt it down before posting, or, if it's a not verifiable, not post or flair as shitpost. What gets asked for after that seems totally random.
And that's not even counting the wasted time because of the serial down vote griefers. For hours/days everything posted will have -5 slapped on it within 5 minutes of posting and dies in /new. Almost makes you go "You know, this content I found that other pedes might enjoy just isn't worth the effort to upload to PDW." It certainly doesn't make me want to go hunting up every sauce when it's just gonna get, maybe, 20 eyes on a it.
This suggests that people who don't "ask" are not interested.

That's at least upholding some very slight standards.

That is false. Maybe you just post uninteresting stuff. I'm one of the most disliked people here, and I can barely remember any time my posts died, let alone like that - even when I post retarded stuff.

You can't simultaneously argue that it's so easy you can do it in 30 seconds, and also that it's so superhumanly difficult that you can't do it.
I think they're bad actors or at the very least they prime the userbase to blindly accept .jpgs as truth which can then be used by bad actors to inject untrue propaganda designed to elicit a reaction that can be used to garner more power for our enemies or otherwise information jam those who pose a threat to the power of such regimes.
.jpg posting without a source is bad practice because it can be exploited by those who mean us harm and it's very easy to guard against this by just posting a link. The laziness involved in refusing to do so is nothing short of barbaric and such barbarians should be cast from our midst, driven from the internet and ideally exiled from civilized society IRL and left to die in the woods with no one mourning their passing and no grave to mark that they ever even existed.
It would be good if people did that proactively, rather than only after being asked.

Doesn't make much sense. If it's that easy to pull up, you should do it.

You could just not post for that 90% of the time and improve the quality of this board by not littering like a goddamn barbarian.
Confirmed for barbarian.
That would require them to not be sub-human filth.
I vote we just make it a bannable offense.
Don't hold back, tell me what you really think.
