Of links and sources?

Just curious about what SWeeps think. Whenever I post a pic, I post a source for it, or there's a reason why I didn't (even if it's just being lazy).

For example, if I post a screenshot of tweet, I also usually post a link to the tweet. I'm usually not vouching for the accuracy of what was said, as opposed to pointing out where it was said and asking for comments about it or giving my opinions about why it was said, what it means, etc.

But, when I see just screen shots or memes, I feel "cheated", without the context of where the the poster got it from or even what they think about it.


I get how arguing over sources is exhausting, but do other SWeeps appreciate context like I do?

YES.

And thank you.

Footnoting/citation is part & parcel of intellectual honesty.

Too many people don't understand the lie of copy-and-paste.
